Hi all, this is my first autoflower grow and well its not gone overly well. Growing in a dr90, using a 250w hps and a recently added 150w hps as well. The plants are in 15l Airpots in a medium of coco. I havent kept record of when these 2 started, id say roughly 8/9 weeks. The Critical+ grew lanky so i had to tie her down. The bud development has been poorer than expected. Anyway pictures say more than words....

The first 3 are of the Critical+; followed by the Onyx.
Im pretty sure the Critical+ is about ready for a good flushing then chop. The Onyx has extremely spindly pistils rather than dencing buds.
I am feeding them with a small amount of Micro nutes and a large dosage of Bloom nutes (AN), i am also using molasses.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, why are the buds so small when there is sufficient lighting?
Regards , Collie

the internodal stretch is from large temp swings
probably during lights on to lights off
im still assuming its on less than 24/0 lighting

The plants only had like 3 fan leaves each and they were all looking worse for wear and fell off. Yeah i didn't mix in any perlite; had thought th coco was too compacted for root growth. The lighting schedule has been 24/0 since seed, keeping a steady temp of 28C.
Cheers for input, i do think alot of factors have effected this grow and resulted in something pretty toss.
Regards, Collie
