I am confused.
The plants look very good and healthy, I do not understand why they are so small for week 5.

I am using Kingled 3000w led
Flora trio
bid bud and bud candy
with a few more additives
ppms are about 1000-1300
light is about 20in away from plants

The plants look healthy to me and very frosty, they just look very small, considering i have grown one of this plants under different lighting and the buds were a lot bigger by this week.

Do you usually use HID lighting? I've never used that brand of LED before so if it's on the lower-end that could be the problem.

Purple! Definitely a lot of purple!

Reading forum rules and stickys is well suggested. If you need help diagnosing, we need proper pics without the "blurpee". Cheers!

So guys
I found out that temps at night are in the low 50s
Humidity is fine at 50%
So yea just cold temps at night

Could this be a reason?

slow down - stop trying to find issues that are not there, approx wk 5 still more to go, off the web site specs -- Compares to traditional 3000 watt HPS/MH lamp while consuming only 615watt,save more electricity for you.

So 615 watt's - so say 600 actual maybe, epistar old tech, sounds like early Optic/Pioneer lights .. need some white light in there

Note- web site specs also say --- Suggest distance above plants: 4.5-5.5ft. -- not 20 inches = buy new light - just my view

But how can they be fine? Under HPS lighting the plants are 8-9 week strains
Way bigger by now
So by being under an led does this mean it turns into 11 week strain or so?

8 week strain under optimal conditions.
Low temps, blurple, your feeding schedule ... everything contributes.
Just let them grow. They'll kick it up.
Time doesn't always equate to size.
Environment does.

Yes then it must be the temps
I have little control over those
At night temps are around 50-55s
And day is 75-80
