Demoralized here after growing perfect-looking but weak-ass weed AGAIN. Flower longer? Or just give up and sell my lights?

Am I crazy to expect any potency when growing from seeds? Last run looked perfect for the 61 days in flower but now = weak af after spending $$ on genetics. This after 3-4 runs of perfect looking weak-ass weed. I'm about to sell my lights out of frustration. Flower longer? Help?

Interesting.. definitely would experiment with trich maturation if you haven’t already. Bud looks done to me tho. You got 3 different breeders here, so should have something decent from them. All 3 were bunk? I mean like can you quantify it? Like just not quite hitting that spot but still getting you high - or just not getting you high unless you sit and smoke an ounce? I recently sprung for breeder clones that have been a nice significant step up from growing from seed. Maybe check into that? I dunno man I feel for ya tho if you don’t seem to be getting decent smoke from a great looking grow like that.

Thx Ezzjaybruh and Natrona for talking me off the ledge. I'm usually glass-half-full but I may have let the darkness in on this one. A couple of the strains are high teens, maybe even low 20's. I'll be more patient, watch the trichs closer, and prob wait longer for a more narcotic/sedative result. Not sure how much curing will improve anything, but the wife insists that happened with my Chem Cookies run (GMO). I spent on some beans this time, and the environment was perfect, but I probably chopped after seeing 5-10% amber and I'm still so inexperienced growing, now that I think about, I can't be sure if those were leaves or bud. No 2nd scrog made it a big 4ft tall mess with shit flopping around everywhere- maybe pushing me to chop. And yes, I'm blaming the plants for growing too well. It's tough to deflect blame when it's a 1-man operation. Thanks again.

Hi @Skynet, keep growing don't sell your lights. Some weed is better than no weed. First, quality strains. Choose the ones with high thc. I grow auto for a fast turn around so if its not the best, i can grow anther one fast. Use the not so good harvests for edibles or hash. Timing the harvest. Most growers harvest when the trichomes are 20% amber. Zoom on with your phone camera or buy a magnifier or microscope to see them. Wishing better grow and outcome next time.
