Small Colas... What can I do to encourage fattening?
brownbae420started grow question 2 years ago
Long time listener; First time caller...
This is my first ever grow. I AM using bag seeds, but they have been growing well and steady. The colas still seem so small. Is there anything I can do or have done wrong possibly; Ideally I'd like to encourage their growth more b4 harvest

First of all, you're pretty early in the flowering stage to worry about big buds... they will fatten up tremendously over the next weeks. One thing I would tell you to do to avoid any problems and to help your girls is to cut the Grow Big way down now... I've used Fox Farm and Grow Big was always giving me lots of problems - nute lockout, nitrogen toxicity... and in the flowering stage plants don't need or want a lot of nitrogen. Cut Grow Big in half and triple the Big Bloom and double the Tiger Bloom.... make sure your pH is sitting around 6.2 and then just be patient! They look great!
Good luck!

your tent is too big for this light, and your plants are not occupying it!
The problem isn't the light itself, 250w is a lot, but with that size of tent and that light you should have filled the whole tent with flowers to increase the efficiency!!!
What I would do is get the light closer to the buds, like a few inches from lamp to plant.

I should note, I am using nutrients every feeding when dry - since I am doing this I have cut my nutrients in half. Instead of 3TBS/1Gal FoxFarm Grow Big, I'm adding 3TBS/2Gal FoxFarm Grow Big and and other FoxFarm products. I read this on a forum and I might need to increase to full nutrients/gallon. I am also considering adding a bit of cal-mag since I have it on hand and I don't think it can hurt. Thanks for anyone who can help! 👽

If they are between week 2 and 5 of flowering use big bud and if your plant is around week 5 maybe 2 week from finish use pk or overdrive

Harvest or leave in the sun for a while?My plant got way too little light inside when i tried a 12/12 light rhythm. now it looks like the trichromes are getting milky already even though the buds are tiny. Should I harvest to avoid losing thc or leave them outside in the sun for a while still so they might grow ?

Any input? Small nuggzzzzMoby dick Auto has been slow but steady on the bud growth, way slower than other genetics and this is the only plant from this strain so no comparison.

What to do? → BF Runtz Auto - Day 42 - RH70, 80F in BioBizz Light SoilOn my last post, I was advised I have N tox, so I watered w/o BioGrow, just BioBloom and it's gotten much worse. The runoff EC was 1.5 (watered with 0.8, runoff pH was okay), so I’m guessing it's salt buildup. I plan to flush when this watering dries out—any thoughts?

opinion on bud maturity ?About 6 weeks since flip from flower and wanted to know if the orange/browning of the white pistils means that the bud has already reached its max size and will only ripen ,but bud sizes look pretty small to me does this mean yield will be low ? or am i just overthinking.
