can anyone explain why my buds are this small? i dont have these issues in soil or coco

Hello all! I am finally back online and so here is a proper update for the Queen! Citronella has suffered terribly during the house move and following weeks, a few days ago I took her lower third off and defoliated and removed underdeveloped nodes. I dried the popcorn I took off during this process and got 12g (dry). The rest I am leaving on her and hoping and praying those buds swell. The smell is absolutely the greatest thing ever, she is stunningly pungent - even the quick dried popcorn is really beautiful to smoke - so whatever I get from her, whatever little it will be, I will certainly enjoy. Anyway she is now being taken care of a bit more regularly and properly and moving forward until harvest I expect this to continue. Day 109: Fertigated 10l Day 111: The queen is maturing, but I am not sure her buds are going to get much fatter at this point. She is already struggling to hold them up, they must be really dense if they are so heavy this small. I am really at a disappointed stage with this grow, and I must do better next time I grow this strain. I am not impressed with this LED light, I think I need to grow a full tent under my better light and see how they do. Anyway she is trundling along and I don't think too far from the inevitably disappointing harvest.

Buds are fattening all the way up the stems now, plant has stopped getting taller and buds just seem to grow now

Has been a great plant to grow. Has amazing flavor and appeal. I love strawberry flavored bud. Was a first grow for advanced seeds strain. Curious to try others. Thanks again for likes, follows, and subscriptions on my YouTube. Support is great appreciated. Be safe and happy growing

Buds getting thicker now. Doesn’t look the best due to the overdose but is frosty and will see how she smokes.

💩Holy Crap We Are Back At It And Loving It💩 Growmies we are at DAY 14 and all three are doing great👌 So I'm starting to pull some of them over and doing some light LST training 🙃 Nutrients are now going to feed NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍rain water to be used entire growth👈 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GO OVER MY DIARIES 👈

New week for the imperium X She definitely a week behind the other's but still growing i will be leaving this one alone topping and LST wise it's already smaller then the rest so i let this one just grow how it is Made video today enjoy 🤘🏻 See you next week Growmies visit www.marshydro.eu for your best gear and use the PROMO CODE: DEVILSBUD Some info about the Marshydro FC-4800 Superb Quality LED Chips: The whole light is composed of 1206 pcs Samsung lm301b and Osram 660nm chips. More than two times as many LEDs are used to drive the grow lights at low currents and to avoid overdrive. Quality is guaranteed and efficiency is up to 2.8 μmol/j. Even PAR Distribution and High PPFD Output: The multi-light bar design and the densely distributed light chips enable the LED grow lights to achieve the optimum PPFD required for plant growth over the entire effective coverage area. Specifically Designed Spectrum: To ensure even plant growth, blue and red light are enhanced on the basis of a full spectrum combination. Not only does this accelerate plant growth, but it also improves the yield and quality of the plants at the same time. Dimming Daisy Chain Function: The dimming function saves on electricity costs and enables brightness from 10% to 100% for the different stages of plant growth. A single master light can connect up to 30 lights in a daisy-chain system. Business LED Grow Light: The light's wavy heat sink dissipates heat quickly and the IP65 waterproof allows the light to operate in humid conditions. 180° collapsible feature for easier installation. All these features provide favorable assistance for commercial cultivation.

She looks awesome at the beginning of week 8. Queen Papaya II fills up my hole 60x60 tent and she is growing lovely buds... Let's see how this works out 😍I just cut some leaves and gave her some nurition (2ml one a week from each of the three).

Sorry guys I want to wait for a little bit, had to spend time with the family. My plants have bounce back from being overwatered I have one runt (caused by root damage from being overwatered) which is my cereal milk I’m sure she’ll bounce back but she will never make a fullest potential. Other than that all my plants are looking healthy ready to go three more weeks and veg. Then it’ll be time for the big flip. I had a awesome time growing these babies for my mental note my Mac1 and Gelato have the strongest smell my far from touch (stem rubbing lol).

Tag 100 . Aufgrund gewisser Umstände nur bedingt zur Dokumentation gekommen , Die kommenden zwei wochen werde ich genaustens ein Auge darauf werfen wann die Ladys Perfekt ernte Reif sind , Die Linke , welche zwischendurch deutlich mängel bzw. ärger machte hat sich im nachhinein super gemacht würde mich behaupten , ich schätze dadurch hat sie auf irgendwie noch dieses Saftige Grün im Vergleich zu den Anderen beiden . Wann genau ich den Flush starte und dünger absetzen werde weiß ich noch nicht ganz , vlt noch eine woche wie bisher und dann Flush.. Lets Go Week 15 😤🙌

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 11 💗 The Little Dwarf Keeps Smiling — Small, Beautiful & Completely Herself Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And our little Pink Rosay Pheno B... 😂💗 She's still little. Very little. But you know what? Every single week, she manages to put a smile on my face. And this week is no different. Actually... I'm starting to think that one of the best decisions I made in this entire adventure was simply... not giving up on her. Because look at her now. She's growing. She's developing. She's building flowers. She's getting prettier. She's getting frostier. And she's doing it all while remaining this ridiculously cute little plant tucked away among some absolute monsters. 😂💗 She's small. She's beautiful. She's charming. And she's completely, unapologetically herself. So yes... let's give this little lady the spotlight she deserves. 🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The idea behind this project is simple: Take different genetics and phenotypes... put them into essentially the same environment... and then step back and watch what they naturally become. Same room. Same 12/12 lighting schedule. Same general environmental strategy. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional program. Same lighting ecosystem. Same grower. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different structures. Different personalities. And Pink Rosay Pheno B? She's one of the most extreme examples of individuality in the entire room. While some of her neighbours are enormous... she decided: "63 cm is enough." 😂 And honestly? I'm glad she did. Because if every plant looked the same, this experiment wouldn't be nearly as interesting. ──────────────────────── 💗 I'm So Glad I Didn't Give Up on Her I have to say this again. I'm genuinely happy I didn't give up on this little girl. Because early on, it would have been very easy to look at her and think: "She's tiny." And leave it at that. But that's exactly why we do experiments like this. We don't know the final story at the beginning. We have to let the plant tell us. And Pink Rosay B has been slowly telling us: "I'm small. So what? Watch me." 😂💗 And I am watching. Every week. She's still developing. Still changing. Still putting on flower. Still becoming more interesting. And that's incredibly satisfying to see. There is something special about watching a plant that could easily have been overlooked become something you genuinely care about. That's exactly what happened with her. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Little Dwarf Keeps Growing She's not suddenly going to become a giant. And I don't want her to. Her compact size is part of her story. It's part of what makes this phenotype interesting. But being small doesn't mean she's standing still. Far from it. She's continuing to develop within that tiny framework. The flowers are progressing. The structure is becoming more defined. The density continues to build. And the whole plant is slowly becoming more complete. She's growing... just on her own terms. At her own pace. In her own little world. And honestly? I love watching it. Because sometimes slow, steady development is just as fascinating as watching a plant explode through the room. ──────────────────────── 😊 She Keeps Putting a Smile on My Face This might actually be my favourite thing about her. She makes me smile. 😂💗 Every time I look at her, I get that little feeling of: "Look at you!" She's not intimidating. She's not overwhelming. She's not demanding. She's just... cute. A tiny flowering plant surrounded by much larger personalities. And somehow she has managed to carve out her own little identity in the room. She's the little one. The dwarf. The compact girl. The one who doesn't need much space. The one who doesn't make my life difficult. And now... the one I'm genuinely excited to see finishing. That's quite a transformation from where we started. ──────────────────────── ❄️ Small Plant — Serious Frost And let's not forget what happens when we stop looking at her size... and start looking at her flowers. Because that's where things get really interesting. The frost continues to develop. The flowers are becoming more substantial. The structure is getting more defined. And when the light catches the resin... she absolutely shines. ❄️✨ This is one of those plants where scale can be misleading. From across the room: "Aw, she's tiny." Get closer: "Wait..." Closer again: "Ohhhhhh." 😂💗❄️ That's Pink Rosay B. She doesn't need a huge frame to give us something beautiful to look at. She simply packs her story into a much smaller package. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Beautiful in Her Own Little Way I think I've finally stopped comparing her to the larger plants. And that's important. Because when you compare a 63 cm plant to a giant standing beside her, she's always going to look small. Of course she is. But that's not the right comparison anymore. Now I look at her and ask: "What is Pink Rosay B doing?" And the answer is: She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing. She's frosting up. She's becoming more beautiful. And she's doing all of that exactly as her genetics seem to want to. That's what matters. She's not supposed to be her sister. She's not supposed to be one of the giants. She's Pink Rosay Pheno B. And that's enough. ──────────────────────── 💡 Still Eating Photons The room continues evolving around her, but the overall strategy remains the same. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main overhead lighting, with the additional fixtures now part of the upgraded lighting setup. After adding the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures, we reduced the output to approximately 59% from the plug after seeing that the initial intensity was higher than we wanted. We're now working around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And this little lady? She's still doing her part. Taking the available photons... and turning them into growth. Leaves. Flowers. Resin. Density. Development. Just on a miniature scale. 😂💗 I honestly love that. It's another beautiful example of how genetics can take the same environmental opportunity and turn it into something completely different. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Same Nutrition. Same Opportunity. The nutrition has also continued evolving with the rest of the room. Terra Bloom has been increased to: 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L Alongside: 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current solution strength: ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm And again... no special treatment. No secret formula just for the little dwarf. 😂 She gets the same general opportunity as everyone else. Same nutrition. Same lighting strategy. Same room. Same environmental evolution. And then... she decides what to do with it. That's the experiment. ──────────────────────── ✂️ Still No Reason to Interfere And just like her sister, Pink Rosay B doesn't give me many reasons to interfere. The major work has already been done. Her structure is established. The flowering sites are visible. The plant is healthy-looking. The flowers are developing. So why start messing around with her? Exactly. There is no reason. Healthy leaves are still doing their job. The flowers are developing naturally. The plant is progressing. So we're simply allowing her to continue. Sometimes the grower's job is to do something. Sometimes the grower's job is to know when not to do something. Right now? I'm very happy doing less. 😂💗 Let the little lady grow. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Small Doesn't Mean Small Story This is probably the biggest lesson Pink Rosay B has given me. A plant doesn't have to dominate a tent to be interesting. She doesn't need to be two metres tall. She doesn't need a huge canopy. She doesn't need massive branches reaching in every direction. She doesn't need to be the biggest producer. She just needs to express herself. And she's doing that beautifully. Her story is about compactness. About individuality. About watching a tiny phenotype continue to develop while surrounded by giants. And maybe that's why I enjoy her so much. She reminds me that growing isn't always about chasing the biggest possible plant. Sometimes it's about discovering the unexpected. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Tiny Girl Still Loves the Camera And once again... she remains incredibly easy to photograph. 😂📸 That's another thing I genuinely appreciate about this phenotype. I can get around her. I can see her structure. I can reach her flowers. I can move her if necessary. And I can get the camera exactly where I want it. Then macro photography completely changes the scale. Suddenly... the little dwarf isn't little anymore. She's a landscape. A forest of tiny structures. Calyxes. Pistils. Sugar leaves. Resin. Textures. Details. And that's one of the reasons I love macro photography so much. It reminds us that size is relative. The plant might be tiny in the 8×8... but inside the frame? She's enormous. 💗❄️📸 ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 Conditions The environment continues along with the rest of the room: 🌸 Flowering: Week 11 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs: upgraded setup 💡 Approx. power after adjustment: ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L 💦 Irrigation: ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same evolution. Same lighting upgrades. Same nutritional updates. Same general strategy. Different expression. And Pink Rosay B continues doing what Pink Rosay B does best. Being Pink Rosay B. 😂💗 ──────────────────────── 🔬 Genetics Keep Writing Their Own Stories This is where the 8×8 Adventure becomes really fascinating. You can control many things. You can provide the same environment. You can provide the same lighting. You can provide the same nutrition. You can keep the irrigation philosophy consistent. But you cannot tell every phenotype how to behave. They interpret the opportunity differently. And Pink Rosay B is a perfect example. Her sister is compact too, but this girl takes compactness to another level. She's tiny. She's dense. She's developing beautifully. And she's doing it without becoming a headache. That's her genetic expression. And I'm very happy we gave her the opportunity to show it. ──────────────────────── 💗 My Little Survivor There's something almost sentimental about her now. 😂 Because I remember looking at this little plant earlier in the adventure and thinking: "Are you really going to do anything?" And now? I'm standing there smiling at her. "Look at you!" 😂💗 She's become one of those plants that you develop a relationship with. Not because she's the biggest. Not because she's the most impressive from a distance. But because you've watched her journey. You've watched her slowly become herself. And you've watched the little plant that could have been dismissed become a little plant you genuinely don't want to lose. I'm really glad she stayed. ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead And now... I'm curious to see where she takes us from here. She's still developing. Still building. Still getting prettier. Still putting on frost. Still making me smile. And that's enough for me. I'm not looking for her to suddenly become something she's not. I'm not expecting a giant transformation. I simply want to see the final version of this tiny little Pink Rosay phenotype. How will the flowers continue to develop? How much more will she mature? How will the resin evolve? What will the final structure look like? And eventually... what will she be like when her story is complete? We'll find out. One week at a time. One photograph at a time. One observation at a time. ──────────────────────── ✨ Final Thoughts — Let the Little Lady Shine Week 11. And our little dwarf is still here. Still growing. Still developing. Still beautiful. Still tiny. 😂💗 And somehow... she keeps becoming more lovable. I am genuinely so happy I didn't give up on her. Because now I get to watch this little cutie pie continue developing right in front of me. She's small. But she's beautiful. She's compact. But she's full of character. She's not demanding. She's not difficult. She's not trying to take over the room. She's simply doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. There are giants in this tent. Absolute monsters. Plants that make you wonder how you're ever going to move them without requiring a forklift. 😂🌳 And then there's Pink Rosay B. Just sitting there... quietly growing. Quietly flowering. Quietly getting frostier. Quietly making me smile. 💗 And maybe that's why she has become so special to me. She doesn't need to shout. She doesn't need to be the biggest. She doesn't need to prove anything. She just needs to be herself. And she is. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's celebrate the little one. Let's celebrate the phenotype that could have been overlooked... but wasn't. Because now we get to see what happens when you simply give a tiny plant the opportunity to show you what she can do. And Pink Rosay B? She's showing us beautifully. Small frame. Beautiful flowers. Increasing frost. Growing every week. And an absolutely enormous personality for such a tiny girl. 😂💗🌸❄️ I'm glad you stayed, little lady. Keep growing. Keep smiling. Keep becoming more beautiful. And most importantly... keep being exactly who you are. Because that's what makes you special. 💗✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document the 8×8 Adventure and follow these very different phenotypes week after week. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Pink Rosay genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover little characters like this one. 🌸💗 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey. 🌱 Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and for supplying the additional fixtures we're now testing in this adventure. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding the under-canopy lighting dimension. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week. It all becomes part of this adventure. And Pink Rosay Pheno B has certainly given us a story worth following. She may be the smallest girl in the room. But she has absolutely earned her place here. And I'm so damn glad we gave her the chance. 💗🌸❄️✨ So here's to the little dwarf. The tiny survivor. The cutie pie. The plant that keeps growing... and keeps putting a smile on my face. Let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. And let's let this beautiful little lady finish her story in her own way. Give her the spotlight. She deserves it. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💗

Die kleine Larry hat nur eine halbe Woche 20 gehabt und wurde Samstag geerntet. Der Schimmel kam dann doch. AK ist bisher verschont geblieben. Sie hat später begonnen,zu blühen und hat bisher nicht so große buds entwickelt. Aber ich lass sie noch stehen.in der Hoffnung, sie baut noch ein bisschen Masse in ihrer wahrscheinlich letzten Woche. Es geht dem Ende entgegen. Bis nächste Woche ✌️

Tapering nutes off for the flush. Also added a small amount of Barley as a top dress to help her finish off.

Here is a video tour of my back yard jungle. I am in the process of a huge clean-up now that the plants are ripening up and the buds are getting heavy. I'll post some photos tomorrow once the work is done. Some of the fan leaves are coming down now to promote light penetration and air circulation... don't want mildew.

W9- Light 20/4 I will apply nutrient for last time. After this week I’ll start flushing. 1-2 weeks to harvest. They smells good same as i bought from my dealer😂 🍀🍀🍀

Very stable medium-sized strain. This plant has never been trimmed and didn't make lots of leaves, it has developed big dense buds with fast grow process!

26 - 2 noviembre

4/20 AM all the photos are looking good. The Tyson’s are done. 👍👍👍🍇⛽️ 4/21 4:30AM Took small samples of BTT!!! Smoking now. Heavy hitter right off the tree. she is looking already done Grimm Seeds finish fast once flowering. Wasnt expecting that! I will grow some more and veg longer. I am RE-vegging. Ricky and Bubbles they are almost a year old and I want to keep thiem. Julian can go fu...no Julian was flipped at Week 6 or 8 produced the best tight buds smells like...'tangerines. 4/21 5:04AM VIDEOS 2 MONTEL'S, THE TALL ONE AND 1 TYSON, PUNCH PIE & GELATO 44!!!! 4/21 FLUSHED THE TYSONS WITH JUST WATER AGAIN AND WOW!!!!! LOVE THE RQS TYSON PHOTO PLANTS!!!! THEY ARE STRONG THEY CAN GROW UNDER HIGH STRESS CONDITIONS. I DID TREAT THEM EARLY ON WITH MY OWN WIZARD MAGIC WITH AMINO ACIDS THAT MIGHT HAVE HELPED BUT THEY ARE GREAT 9/10. 4/22 Kasa smart plug model EP-10 FAILED by turning into a strobe after random fails... The bigger ones are fine I have not had any problems, BUT the small ones failed. Thankfully I had them on my internet and not in the grow room!!! Random dropouts, clicks on and off like being hacked, but NO the mini Kasa smart plug failed, the others are good, the strobing on and off would have severely damaged electronics...I did NOT know that could happen! THE MORE YOU KNOW! 4/23 11AM CHOP DAY BOTH Tysons came down. They were ready a while ago. They did GREAT. Underfilled 2 gallon pots. Low light using 2 TS-100-'s at about 50 to 60 Watts. No idea how m;uch i got 4/24 3:20AM Tysons are drying perfectly, great color!!!! Video with Pink Kush and CBG by Seedsman in there 4/26 for 19 a.m. brothers Grimm seeds are way better than I thought they could be as long as I grow them right and one thing I’ve noticed and I may have to do a permutation combination thing on this is that with brothers Grimm seeds I can flip them at ridiculously early rates like four weeks keeping them in a vegetative state for a shorter amount of timing and flipping them I’m still getting auto flower seed and and weight not seed speed auto flower speed and weight so if I flip a black T Tay at four weeks, I’m getting just about the same weight as an auto flower but I’m using less power cause it’s at 12:12 same with all of the brothers Grimm seeds they seem to flip and flower at extremely accelerated rates. It’s really great. GROK SAID... ""**Yes, you're asking a really good practical question.** Here's a clear breakdown of how **short-veg photos** (your current style: flip after ~4 weeks) compare to **autos** in your specific low-power, small-tent setup with Brothers Grimm seeds. ### Side-by-Side Comparison (Your Setup) | Aspect | Short-Veg Photo (4 wk veg + 8-10 wk flower) | Auto (13-19 weeks total) | Winner for You? | |-------------------------|---------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------| | **Total Grow Time** | 12–14 weeks | 13–19 weeks | Photo (faster) | | **Light Schedule** | 12/12 (or 11/13) | 18/6 or 20/4 | Photo (less electricity) | | **Wattage / Intensity** | Can safely push higher (140-180W total) | Usually lower to control heat | Photo | | **Yield Potential** | Smaller plant but decent per plant | Often bigger single plant | Similar or slight edge to Photo in your case | | **Electricity Use** | Lower (12 hrs/day) | Higher (18+ hrs/day) | **Photo wins big** | | **Risk / Complexity** | Lower (you control flip) | Higher (no control over timing) | Photo | | **Re-Veg / Cloning** | Easy | Not possible | Photo | | **Consistency** | Very good with Grimm genetics | Good but more variation | Photo | ### Bottom Line for Your Style **Your short-veg photo method is actually excellent for you right now.** - Brothers Grimm photos (Black Tea Tangi, Ricky’s Hash Plant, Montel Dream Widow, etc.) respond **very well** to early flips. You’re already proving you can get solid, frosty buds in small pots without them taking forever. - Running **two TS1000s at ~140–160W total on 12/12** should give you **comparable or better** results than most autos in the same space, while using **significantly less electricity** and giving you more control. - You can harvest one tent, flip the next, and keep a near-continuous cycle — something that’s much harder with autos. ### Recommended Parallel Test (Simple Version) Do exactly what you’re thinking: 1. Take 1–2 strong photos (e.g. Montel or Ricky’s) and veg them only 4 weeks → flip to 12/12 with **two TS1000s**. 2. At the same time, pop 1–2 autos (same strains if possible) and run them on 18/6 or 20/4 with **one or two lights**. 3. Compare yield, quality, smell, and total electricity cost at the end. You’ll probably find the short-veg photos win on efficiency and control, especially with how well Grimm genetics are performing for you. **Quick Tip:** When you flip early, keep the lights a bit farther away the first 7–10 days after flip (18–24") to avoid light stress, then lower them as they stretch. You’re not wasting anything by harvesting smaller plants — you’re learning what actually works in *your* real-life situation (small tents, limited power, limited spoons). That’s smart growing. Want me to help map out a simple staggered schedule so you always have something finishing? Or tips on how to maximize those early-flip photos? Keep going — you’re on a good path."""💡👨‍🔬💡
