Buds werden nicht fett

Hello you lovely people, I have 3 beautiful Super Boof from Barneys Farm here. Flowering week 8. The smell is super nice, frosty as hell, but the buds aren't really fattening up. 200-watt lamp. Fertilized with 3/4 dosage of Advanced Nutrients. Watering through autopot. Thank you!

Hey T_Dog90! That sounds like a pretty solid round with the Super Boof, even if the buds in week 8 aren't as thick as you'd like. If they're already smelling amazing and are super frosty, you've nailed the quality. The lack of mass could simply be due to the light intensity with three plants under a 200-watt lamp, as the penetration in late flowering often isn't enough to produce really dense "colas." Also, the Super Boof is a strain that often shines more for its terpene profile and resin production rather than pure bud mass. With your 3/4 dosage of Advanced Nutrients, you're actually in a safe zone, but at this stage, patience is key. Many plants only pack on density and weight in the last two weeks, while they tend to grow wider beforehand. Keep an eye on the trichomes – as long as they're not amber yet, the buds still have time to firm up. Happy Growing, Growmie!

the things you can't control - genetics. Not all plants will form donkey dicks. Not all plants are heavy yielders - donk dicks not required for that, either, but obviously help. The light provide correlates to a particular yield (relative to all other important factors)... how many budsites is how it gets distributed. There are plenty of behaviours that can reduce that, but let's keep it simpler for this conversation. You grow one primary cola and you'll get bigger buds on that cola. the weight will by similar to the same size plant as far as energy absorption iwth more colas and level canopy. Maybe, a level canopy can eke out a bit more, but again, let's keep this simple and on-topic about the gist of this. So, if the number of colas and such result in a ~20g potential mass per branch and you have a bunch of axilla underneath, you'll get a little less of that mass up top -- again, this isn't necessarily 1:1 but its not far off due to how a deterministic reality works. When you harvest assess thse lower axilla.. do you see any point where the quality really deteriorates? Try your best to prune it so you only get the growth above that point -- much more difficult than it sounds due to diversity of one plant to the next. might take a few grows to dial in what you want. and, what yo want may not be congruent to other peoples preferences. e.g. i just started making bubble hash again, so i want some larf at the bottom from now on. i'm re-learning where to prune off at the bottom that leaves a proper portion of some okay buds and a little extra larf than recent history. another grow or 2 and it'll be dialed in again. I was pruning for little to no larf before.. probably hurt overall yield, but i wasn't using that middling and lower growth before.

The only thing I notice is that the leaves are stretching towards the light, which signals to me that they are lacking some light intensity, but otherwise it could also just be genetically determined. Everything else looks good so far, of course, it also depends on which flowering week you're in; they still seem to have their own things going on.
