Popcorn buds

Nethermanstarted grow question 4y ago

I wanted to ask why my buds are so small 😢 it's almost week 12 ( week 8 flowering ) and they getting bigger very slow. My growing light is spider farmer 100w currently 100% and I'm feeding them as producer recommended. They won't be any bigger I should harvest them or wait ?

la température en général fait que la plante développe de petite têtes compactent après il y a aussi le ph et le niveau d'EC à prendre en compte si ces dernières sont correcte je pencherai pour la distance de la lampe qui est trop loin , peut-être la rapproché un peu . bon courage à toi , peace

pH around 6-6.5 I don't have equipment to measure EC or PPM. I'm using plagron fertilizer terra bloom and they recommend using 5ml every 1 liter of water sometimes I'm also adding little bit of Cal mag 0.8ml per L . Recently I changed dimmer from ~80% to 100% light is 60cm above plant

Unterentwickelte Buds bei meiner vorderen Pflanze für Woche 11?Ich finde, meine Pflanze vorne hat in Woche 11 noch ziemlich unreife Buds. Die beiden Pflanzen im Zelt wurden zeitgleich eingesetzt. Ich hab beide in der Living-Soil-Erde angepflanzt und vor ein paar Tagen Worm Casting und Dolomitkalk dazugegeben. Mehr Infos in meinem Diary.

Harvesting a struggling plant or just letting it fight Can she be saved or just flush her and harvest what I can? She doesn't appear to be happy. Has some CBD genetics so the lack of trichomes don't worry me. Rest of my garden is fading as well. Flushed em last feeding and they didn't seem to like it.

General concerns about the plant health and expectations from her.Will nute burn have a big affect on my final yield? Are my buds likely to increase much in size? Leaves discolouring normal at this stage? Does she look likely to produce just popcorn bud at this point? Can I do anything about it? Also not many leaves on the plant?

I have a question about one of my plants. It did not grow that many trichomes whiles the other grew a lot. I fed them and trained both of them the same. What could it be? And at the same time i dont see my bud swelling up too much. i use mars epistar 80. Is that maybe too weak ?

Hey all. I'm a little concerned about my Gorilla girl F1's flower density. She's roughly in week 5 of flower and her buds seem a little skinny. I've reduced N to almost zero & upped the P&K . She's not super green and she's packing on tricomes like crazy.

How long until harvest?It's 5 wks since pistals started showing. Bud growth has slowed and ~5% of the trichomes on lower sugar leaves have turned Amber. 1st grow, not sure what to expect, but thought buds would be bigger by now. I'd like to know 1) how long until harvest and 2) will buds fatten up?
