Hi mrlaostha and thanks for sharing your grow, I hope it turns out even better than you hoped

There maybe a few relatively easy things you can do to help maximise your yield and potency thereof.

Firstly consider increasing the light ur baby is receiving. I don't know what ballast or power supply is feeding your current 50w bulb but it maybe as easy (and cheap) as changing the bulb for say a 150w (the bigger the better here aslong as heat doesn't become an issue, my thinking is a 150 may slide straight into ur setup). With ur rig being air cooled heat should remain a non-issue.

Secondly would be to consider purchasing a couple items to help you monitor your humidity levels in the room and PH value of ur soil. A Hydrometer will tell you relative humidity levels and there are simple methods to increase or decrease humidity as required. A PH meter is also cheap and readily available to test your soil, then PH up or PH down nutrients will bring levels to what is required.

This brings around the last consideration, nutrients. Your plant will love you and you will love the results!! look into some bloom nutrients and a general vitamin nutrient.

All that lot should be cheap and easy to put into practice and all of it will help your growth and plant health and ultimatley the yield and high off ur buds. Plus in my eyes its fun to do!!

Hope to be of some help & good luck with the flowering dude.

thanks alot for the tips
I have a thermometer that monitors the temps and humidity of my box
the only thing i didnt understand are the PH stuff
and the nutrients i should use to help my buds grow
is it too late for me to use bloom busters?
i was told that i should only water during the blooming weeks
thanks alot for your help
and your thoughts most def came into consideration

Buds are a little small for 4th week, mine are at 2 weeks and bigger.

Add Molasses and a Bloom Booster, Big Bud, Alaskan Bloom, Tiger Bloom ect.

PH is basicaly the scale used to measure the acid / alkali values of your soil. Too acidic or too alkali is bad for all life, weed plants included. Generaly your PH should be around 6.5 (as a guide, many growers find what works for them within a threshold of around 6-6.8). These threads will explain for you:

Regards Nutrients, most growers tend to use a combination of nutrient products throughout the entirety of the grow, from seed to bud. The use of nutrients helps ensure no deficiency of any valuable chemical component used by the plant to grow and bud.
How far you want to go here is up to you, indeed your growing a plant.. fertiliser or even tomato feed will do it to an extent. On the other hand guys will spend a small fortune on 10 or more nutrients that work in conjunction with eachother, realy maximising the plants potential. I'd suggest find somewhere in the middle with the rest of us!!
Brands such as Hesi, Canna, Vitalink to name but a few specialise in cannabis nutrients, follow what they suggest and you can't go far wrong. I'd recommend going organic, A bloom complex and a vitamin product would suit your needs i think.
See if you can find a 'grow schedule' chart from a nutrient manufacturer, this will give you a good insight.
