Buds looking too small

Hi guys, need lil help got 7 plants on 5 weeks 5 days into flower and buds are small I feel they are under a 600w hps and in 5 gal pots in soil using bio grow and bloom every 5 days. Are they on track for the 9 week harvest?

How often do you water (not feed, you told us that)?
How much do you feed - ratio to water?
How big are the pots?
How much liquid goes in at a watering/feeding?

If your lucky and you answer fast - you might get an answer......I go to court today - long story, don't ask.

Water when dry and 5 gal pots and they get half a gal per pot and normally last 2-3 days till water again.
Won't ask but good luck

They look like they are on track to me. Looks like they're praying. Do what you do. I'll leave you to Dr. Who.

They Look quite nice to me, let them do their thing and you'll see them plump up real soon.

Cheers guys just anxious as first grow reli want those big sticky buds lol

any thoughts on molasses at this point or too early?

A teaspoon in, like.. Half a gallon.

Do you have microbes in your medium to break it down? Otherwise, it's useless.

Personally I use BSM with every watering, I use the Breer Rabbit that has some cal and mag in it, i find it stops the problems before they start...I use living soil, and in my mind .. just like a dog is happy when he's fat, so are my microbes Water/BSM every feeding from start to finish...another reason I started using BSM all the time, I run Hids and LEDS all over the place, and for me LED always gave me a Cal def...on any strain i run, haven't seen a rust spot in almost 2 years now...and the extra carbs never hurt anyone, I mean have you seen a typical american diet?

They'll plump up. I'm sure. I run molasses even in veg, so yeah you can go right ahead and start feeding if you'd like. Won't hurt them. Just don't over do it though. I would mix the molasses with your other nutes and feed once a week. When mixing just add to warm water to make sure the molasses disolve and just doesn't sit on the bottom of your jug. Then add your food then ph.

If you get stringy mold, just semi-flush it. It'll wash out, and it doesn't necessarily hurt anything.

I've done a lot of these side by sides over the years and Olive Drab is correct, it feeds the microherd...there is a belief that it will increase flavor/smell/yield/frost after years of trying I never seen a difference, the only thing I've found that increases the frost they're claiming is ice and 3 days of dark before chop, you can get them girls to just ooooooooze resin...just a bag appeal trick though, lots of resin only equates to stickier buds with the same potency..

If you're growing for just you though, bag appeal is worthless, so is hollywood trimming

Damn I just had an epiphany! I just realized after a lot of years, I know 3% of all growing knowledge! Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

yes I have microbes in my medium so I will add it in my feed and hope for the results and thanks any issues I will flush but sure they will love it lol
