First thing led grow lights are not known for producing alot of weight. What they are known for is producing better quality as far as smell, taste, trichomes, and color. They also give off less heat than other grow lights. Second I used to use there 300w and a 450w model put together and the lowest I had those where 14 to 16 inches. So yes your grow light are to close.

Hello Potfactory, your girls are looking great.
To answer your question, i think there were a few things you could do to get more dense and thick buds.
I see you trained your girl alot so thats not the issue here.
my 1st advise would be to lower your nighttime temprature to 16/15,5 degrees celius last 3 weeks of flower.
Also i recommend you lower your ph to 5.6 in the last 3 weeks of flower so she has a better spectrum for uptaking P and K.
Give her less lighting last 2 or 3 weeks, shorten the light with 5 minutes a day or 10 minutes a day.
Last 2 days of flushing put her in total darkness for extra resin production and rock hard and dense buds
And last but not least try to keep your coco on the dry side (not overdry or dried out) and the humidity as low as possible.
Hope this was an helpfull answer, if so i would be nice to give me your question answered like.
Keep on growing my friend.
Peace 👍

Slow bud growthHey everybody would anybody have an idea on why my bud growth seems stunted? Like maybe it's just genes and it's a slower bloomer or what? That plant imho seems fairly healthy but it's just producing flowers at such a slow rate compared to its sister sitting right next to it

Week 5 of flower starts tomorrow and I think my buds aren’t fattening up like I want? They have started to a little in the past couple days but I’m wondering if I’ve got my nutes right or if they need more or more volume? Any good suggestions? I updated my nutes on my diary.

Why are my buds so small?Why are my buds so small? Could it be my nutrients? The thing is both plants have small buds. Almost like this is the natural size of the buds. Any insight as to why they are so small would be greatly appreciated. Check my nutrient schedule. Thanks for any help.

Plant not growing anymoreYes I made a mistake with bottled nutrients and burned her. She is in nutrient lockdown and im flushing her for a week. But she is not growing anymore.
Leaves are all curled up and brown on tips because of nute burn.
My question is should I leave her or should I cut her?

Possible Popcorn Buds?I am concerned that the buds are still small and may come out as popcorn buds. BUT, this is my first grow. Just added week 6 to grow diary with pics. Just FYI, there is some leaf downturn in this photo. It was taken right after feeding and I always get that for an hour or so.
