Bigwermstarted grow question 6 years ago
Starting week 8 and the bud size isn’t what I expected it to be. There is a lot of buds but they are mostly popcorn size. I’m thinking this might be the result of not doing LST and letting it do it’s thing. She is still feeding and growing vertically closer the the light but showing no signs of heat stress. I added a second light for the lower bud sights. Any suggestions would be great.

Hey Bigwerm! the reason the buds are staying smaller and the plant keeps growing up towards the light is it's not getting enough light. So they won't get really big because they just are not able to create enough energy so form bigger buds due to not being able to photosynthesize as much as it could. So really the only solution it to add either more light or trade out those leds for a higher actual wattage led or you could go with fluro but I would recommend a HID setup or r a good quality led.

I've had the exact same thing happen to me and I'd say it's the P4P power of that LED. I vegged some plants under a little 300w hydro led and the node space was huge with small bud sites. Since I changed to growing under a more powerful light I'm seeing tighter mode spacing and more dense compact buds. Either add another light or swap the LED for a variable HPS would be my advise.

Leaf colour and budsAre the leaves still too dark and should I be flushing more? Just worried I've ruined the growth with the overfeeding of nutes now 😓. It seems small but I guess there's still few more weeks to go?
Also for nest time am I supposed to remove the lower smaller buds?
Thanks 🌈

Leaf density, defoliation, nutes, genetics, just healthy?My plants are very leafy compared to most I see. how can I expect bud production to unfold? Currently I move clusters away from each other. I twist off a leaf or two here and there to allow for light penetration. Is this my genetics? nutrient set? just really healthy?

When to start defoliate?When should i start to defoliate?
I have already removed some of the lower leafs that turned yellow.
I plan on putting them into flower within 2 weeks, they already take up 1/4 (almost 1/3) of the grow height including pot.
(if you recommend other techniques, feel free to say)

Should I cut some leaves?Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?

Defoliate or LST?Defoliate or LST? Both Grapefruit and Bruce Banner are ready for some love but due to the short bushy nature of this grow, if we LST and start bending the plants their leaves will end up touching the soil. Would it be better to remove a couple of fan leaves to let light in?

Have I LST'd right?I have tried LSTing and tied down the stem to the pot. I also have a scrog net to help with pushing some of the leaves down and I have tucked them. Does this look right?
I feel like I need to also remove some leaves to help but don't want to damage it as its an auto. thanks
