How to get a larger yield and bigger buds? Some advice please. This if my 5th grow and i'm not very satisfied with the results so far. Want to improve
vladltmsstarted grow question 2 years ago
I've done LST and a little defoliation and lollypopping but the buds seem skinny.
Pics are from week 10. Strain is Big Bang Auto.
Light is 20/4 Masterglow 600w. Advanced Nutr. Grow/Micro/Bloom 4ml/l
What should i do for better results?
When do you think i should harvest?

Hey @vladtms
Maybe it is a good idea to look into your lighting situation.. After finding the light online and checking the price it was only 90$, which indicates that the light is not 600w like the name applies.
Investing in a good lighting solution or upgrading your current one is an easy way to increase yields.
I've had a similar light which boasted a 300w rating and underdelivered. Personally, I recommend quantum boards.
It is hard to see on the pictures how ripe these ladies are due to the light, but I would give them another 3-4 weeks or so, and just see what happens.
Good luck!

If you’ve only been running autos, do photoperiods.
Do some serious research on breeders, not seed banks..
Light as well could use upgrade

As others said, light quality is the most important factor in an indoor grow. Good led lighting will cost you hundreds even thousands of dollars. HID is much cheaper on the pocket book but gives you big rock hard nugs. The cheaper a led light is you get smaller fluffier buds, not worth growing in my opinion. I go with HID. Costs a little more to run them, but the yields far out weigh any cheap led light. Only problem with HID is you have more heat to remove. Good if it's winter and helping to heat your basement.

It's most likely your light. I would get away from blurple and go with better LED or HID.

Thats the issue.
Techniques you described are for OVERALL bud mass increase , not for certain bud.
If you wanna grow big, go with 4-8 colas. In other words go deeper into worthless growing aka mainline ;)
More branches and bud spots plant will have - smaller they will be.
Rethink what you want.
All the Best !

I’ve just put another light in the tent to add wattage for flowering, I’m aware of the uneven coverage so will rotate the plant each day, multiple times if I can.
Are there any other tips? Advise for this period? Thanks in advance! 🙂Week 15

The plants are in the fifth week of flowering and they're swelling really fast now.
I added pk13/14 twice now and I'm a little confused since the official grow schedule states I should add pk13/14 to only one watering in the whole life cycle.
What is your opinion about that?Week 9

Ggg2 looks ready to me. And if you look on krippling's website it looks alot like the image of Ggg3. Where as my previous grow of Ggg3 looks alot like their image of Ggg2.
Do you think there's been a mixup and my Ggg2 is actually Ggg3? and if that's the case I'd it nearly ready?Week 13

Hi everyone I had a question about placing a 4 bulb t4 shop light into my 4x4 tent, I already have a 400w hps but my one plant that I scrog'd is just so massive.
My main concern is that the different light spectrum might stretch my flower making the buds less dense?? should I be?Week 8

Does anybody have any tips to get these girls to chunk up? I’ve changed the bulb, recalibrated my ph pen, using a bud booster and still have some yellowing and color change in the fans already along with tip burn. I’d appreciate some advice.

Just finished week 7 of flower but the buds still look really small when I compare with other diaries. Can you see anything obvious i've been doing wrong? I understand it could be one of many things but I thought I was doing a good job of maintaining good growing conditions.Week 22

I know it takes time for buds to stack and fatten up. My question is, will molasses be of any benefit to me or is that for the organic grows? As I've read the sugar feeds the microbes and not the plant itself. Also how's she looking? if it was your plant what would you change?4 years ago

Hello everyone! As this is my first grow idk how i'm doing so i have doubts, how much time do you think that the plant needs to be harvested ? I was thinking on 90 to 100 days and I see that my flowers are very skinny yet, and I would like to get them a little bit bigger.4 years ago
