Hey folks, any help please on the following: I've been growing fresh candy and now into flowering. Pistils nice n white vertical. 2 plants in a small set up. In soil, temps and RH all good. Im new to this so think I've Ballsed a few things along the way however now in flowering and have been for 5/6 weeks. ( Newbie error I never catalogued dates.) Frosting and those calax thingies are healthy however, buds are way too small. I can't get a pic unfortunately. Buds just don't seem to be growing much. Pistils still white. 1 turned amber 1 day ago. Fan leaves on 1 plant started getting lighter spots so after reading a few blogs it could be calcium deff so started on bone meal. Recently fed 13/14 but didn't want nuke burn so used sparingly. Lights I'm using are Chinese crap(says 300 but prob 30!!!) So got another light in there quick but it's more chinese shit. LEDs btw. My pots are way too small.. should I leave it in pots and hope n pray or can I repot in much bigger ones at this late stage even tho they're sposed to be 2 odd weeks to finish? Won't be 2, at this rate more like another 6. I don't want to stress them by repotting but don't want 12 weeks wasted. Things were planted back in late October!!!!

You're right, those 300w Chinese LEDs are likely to be only 30w so unless you change the lights, you're not gonna get bigger buds. Also, small pots=small plants. Really hard to make a call without seeing photos though.
I'll try and get pics ...

Looks like lack of light to me. Among other things. Pot leaves shouldn't have 3 fingers. How far away is your light? That thing looks stretched to hell.
I've got these.. wot do ya think? Notice the leaves?
Tell me about it! Lights are bout 6/7 inches away from canopy

Those pics don't really show the whole plant. Lack of light and likely lack of nutrients.
Shit 300 watt(Chinese) and knew asap after turning it on it was no use so got another 150w I had lying around. Which is also crap. Both LEDs
Yeah thanks, I need recommendations. Paid too much for them obvs.. can they be saved tho?

Repotting isn't gonna change anything. Your lights are the main problem. My lights sit right on top of the buds during late stage but lowering yours won't change anything. I'd see it thru to the end but don't expect much. You could try putting it outside.
Try and be better prepared for your next run. Get real nutes and follow the recipe on the bottle. Once you get the hang of it then you can start creating your own recipes. Use good soil and the right size pots. Get a decent light with enough power for your entire grow. Research, research research! You will be rewarded for your time.

I wish I knew the answer. What I know for a fact is I could help you find much better lights at a low cost. Hopefully your next run is much smoother.
