Black nugs

[Big Ben]

Hey,
I've been researching all along but I couldn't find any answer. This is my first grow, i'm using a 45w led panel, and I am gonna switch to 100w in a week. I know my plants are small, but this is because I am testing and using a weak light. Could anyone let me know what I am doing wrong with my one plant? The one doing good and growing relevant buds is o.g kush, the one with the hanging leaves and black nugs is white widow. I already had to cut off so many leaves from the white widow. I am using normal soil from the store.

Why did you have to cut leaves?

Why did you have to cut leaves?

Since they were dead and dried off :/

What size pot is that, and have you ever fed it?

I used nutricious soil and a pot with 17cm diameter, since the plant is relatively small.

You should be using a much larger pot. It may root bound?.?.

I will definitely use a bigger pot for my next grow.. I changed the soil approximately 2 weeks ago. Same soil as the one I started with. Is it possible that the plant is retrieving the new nutrients and is working on developing new leaves, instead of working on the buds?

You're thinking to hard fella... Next time big pot. 3gal The next thing is never use old soil. It collects salts and can be bad for the plants. Another, are these Autoflowers? If so, you never re-pot an autoflower. 3 gallon minimum from seed to finish

Changed soil??? That's maximum stress for a plant. The plant should be in it's final pot(I use 7 gallon grow bags minimum) well before bloom. I suggest you do not use "store soil" again, and instead use Sunshine Mix or Pro Mix. Neither has any nutes, so you know what exactly what is going to your plants as you fertilize. Another alternative is a complete soil like Fox Farm that comes with nutes. I have found that "store soil" is usually inferior, and often contains un-sterile compost which leads to insect problems.

My bad.. all these beginners mistakes . Both of them are photoperiodic.

Thanks for the feedback! Obviously, I went for budget. For sure i'll be investing on better soil.

Autoflower or just feminized?

Meant to say feminized and photoperiodic

Well if it's not an autoflower then you definitely have a root bound problem. These mistakes are easily corrected on the next grow.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Will my plant continue growing and will the bud be fine?

I think the bud looks pretty good, what there is of it. Skimping and saving is fine, but if you buy your bud now, a few hundred invested now, and you got all you can smoke, and usually a surplus. I like KISS. I use Sunshine mix, which is peat/perlite/dolomite and just switched from General Hydro nutes to Mega Crop. GH makes good nutes. You can get the basic 3 part dry series, and follow a simple schedule. Fox Farm same same. GH also makes several other series of nutes. So far so good for Mega Crop. Just learning how to use it. A beginner using quality soil/nutes and LED should easily get 1/2 ounce or more per ft2.

Thank you for this clear walkthrough. Was just worried that it might be rot.

Hope this will do

Looks healthy to me. Many strains darken with maturity.
