that shit is ready for harvest more or less and nothing is going to change how that bud looks. how many watts and what type of light are you using. at first guess looks like to much nutes and not enough light to produce a sizable yeild

looks like about 10-14 grams off a plant? i have grown under led's only got a 224 grams out of 500- 600w of real led power on my first growing attempt ever. is harder to get good yields with large dense nugs, but you should have gotten at the very least 2x that off a 150w led. buy a guage to tell how much your led's are really pulling im willing to bet you were hustled and it was only 90w or less. this is just short of standard practice by saying led are a 150 watts because it has 50 3w bulbs. in reality the led "drivers" are only running 2/3 power to the bulbs. imo it is false advertising. maybe consider a low heat 400w digital supplemented mh with your leds. have had the best looking buds and best yeilds by combing the two to get a much broader spectrum. water issues may have wrecked your yeild to0. i messed up watering my plants by about 24-36 hours of wilted thirst under a 1kw dual arc buld ending up with around half my usually yield off that strain. upon looking back should have scrapped it. didnt loose money on power but it left me frustrated thinking i could have gotten more over the time span by just starting over. knowing when to throw a plant out is half the battle

Hi Man! thank you for your hints. I am planning to DIY the led light based on the Bridgelux Vero 29 diodes. But this is in the design phase. I must say that I have got 35 grams of pure hard "heads". But this is a low amount, I agree. Looks like the roots have been overwatered from the early beginning. I was noticed that the root system was really weak. not even covered the full put. Some of them were like dark. Next time I will be more chilled with water showers. So should be better. From the other side I agree that the sun is low in my box :(
