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?
Solved
Buds. Not fattening

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 !
