will my buds grow denser ?

I noticed that as my plant was leaning a little, the buds weren't growing along the stem, will this affect my harvest ? should I stake my plant?

thanks

(My assumption)

You're too far along to gain any major weight, but yes by the looks of it you'll see more gains near the time its ready for harvest it'll only be exiguous.





I recently had an autoflower that was very unhealthy and looked similar to your photo.

My only guess besides her not being healthy is lack of light and/or excessive heat.

They look like they still have a way to go, but also pretty underdeveloped for day 87. What are you using for light? That might be the limiting or slowing factor? I would normally expect them to swell quite a bit from what you show, which look like relatively young formations.

I think it’s lacking good light.
Is this being grown inside of a desktop tower shell? :confused:
It makes more sense to me that this plant is on day 87 from seed. ?

no inside a closet, with 3 x 20w led 3000k + 1 x 17w led 6000k atm but i bought a led panel that will arrive next week
i just added a light into my computer case recently for extra fan & for the flowers on the bottom of my plant
the temp is 22-26 degrees celsius and the relative humidity is between 40-45%


87 days from seed yes, i had 4 weeks of vegetation, 2 of preflowering and i am in the 6th week of "flowering"

also during preflowering i accidentally supercrop my plant so i must have wasted time

Definitely not enough light from the low w bulbs imo. Especially for budding. I think that’s the main culprit. What board did you order?

Not enough light, not done but will probably fatten a bit. Measure your closet, use this calculator to figure out how much light you need https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/grow-light-calculator/. I’d wager your closets 2ft x4ft or 2x3 like most, so you probably want 240-300w of leds. You’ll probably have better climat control in a tent too, ain’t no ventilation in a closet unless you’re drilling big ass holes and you need ventilation to replace ambient co2 so that your plant can breathe

yes i already took care of the airflow, yes there's holes in the door of my closet

from your website, it said that my lamp is enough to make between 3.2 and 4.4 oz on a 2x2 space, that is more than enough for me

I don't want a big yield, 2 oz is enough for me and I know this plant won't yield much, but this is my first grow so I don't care

the light will arrive not the next tuesday but the one after

Your small buds are due to your low powered lights. Other than changing to higher power lights your not going to get big buds. Keep in mind, most LED grow lights are 500-800 actual watts. Feed charts usually base their guideline values off optimized grows with 1000w or similar high power lights, so you will also wanna consider cutting back your feed strength a little with less powerful lights, assuming your not in soil.

yes, as it's my first plant I didn't plant it in a big pot, it's more of a test to see how it is

so I didn't put a lot of fertilizer, and only organic (bio-bloom / top-max / bio-grow)

I have another indica auto seed that I will grow after which I imagine will give me less of a hard time with the proper light and "experience" I have had with this one

and if i can i'll ScrOG my plant
