So small...

these plants went 8 weeks of very healthy Veg growth. Fem seeds, T5 lights (which I have used for years and always have good results) I have ran these strains before, but this grow the plants are so freaking small. Very healthy not a blemish on any leaves, two plants are in 10 gallon pots and 2 are in 5 gallon, the plants are currently in week 10 second week of flower. Fox farm soil dry nutrients, I have switched last week to liquid tiger bloom.

new bulbs this grow I even added another lamp, now running over 600 watts. I am scratching my head my largest plant is 23 inches then the other 2 drop to 16 inches and mind you I have gotten some stretch in flower. these plants through out veg were very short and busy, I have thinned out the fan leaves and undergrowth. I am wondering if I stunted them when I topped then at week3 or 4?

the little one is at week 7 and is very healthy but look how freakin small. I wonder if those new bulbs were not so new?

I will guess that you thinned them out too much at one time and that after that they didnt drink as much as usuall... and now you will have some root probs late into flower... which will first show slow bud production and then as early amber in the trichs...

Just a guess.

They are drinking a gallon every two days, same as before. They were short and runty even in veg, very bushy.. but short. I am going to bite the bullet and up grade to a 1000 watt next grow that can switch between 600 and 1000. Thanks for the comment, the bud sites are booming, the plants look beautiful, there just short.. hmm

More Photos of bud sites, I think she is filling in nice. the next few weeks will tell for sure. And hell I have seen videos of people who lolly pop the hell out of there plants and they still are huge, and I am very modest in my defoliation and clearing of under growth. I know they are not over or under watered. I think it has to be not enough food ( from the happy frog dry ferts) or not enough light, I did try some new bulbs this grow the agro max pure par veg and bloom, in the past it was alway 8 bulbs of 6500k and flower 4 6500k and 4 3000k.
