How often are you watering? every 3 days, and every other watering with Bloom Nutes
Type and strength of ferts used? Also have a 7 plant hydro grow at the moment, used the bloom nutes that came with my StealthHydro Kit. they have a NPK ratio of 5-15-14

This is my first time growing. I made a grow box out of cardboard and lined the inside with aluminum foil. The 3 leds are centered in the middle hanging approx. 4 inches from a pretty even canopy of about 8 colas. I topped her when she was about 4 weeks old and have been using some LST just from the research ive doing on here and the rest of the internet. In the process of trying to upload pics. Any suggestions, or helpful advice is welcome.

I am also trying my hand at a 6 plant( only planted 4)DWC system as well. Will start a different journal for those.

Also, ive been seeing a variety of results when it comes to how big the buds should be at this time. I guess it really depends on strain, grow environment & what not because ive seen plants with similar results as mine so far with the bulk of the buds growing in the last 2 to 3 weeks, but have also seen plants at 40 days into flowering that were easy triple the size of mine. could anyone offer some insight?

Hi rcoch915,

Are your LEDs true 100 watts? They look like replacements for 100 watt incandescent bulbs, i.e. 18 watts.

Your plants looks healthy and happy, but the lack of light is slowing their development

 

[rcoch915]

is there anyway to tell if they are true 100w? because im pretty sure they r. i was trying to avoid the "100 watt replacement bulbs" because i have read they are deceptive. u think that is the problem, they are not gettting enough light? because they have only been under those 3 lights the entire grow....

 

[rcoch915]

you were right man they are only 16w. but they clearly say on the bulb they are 1600 lumens a piece. thats 4800 Lumens in a 20"x 20" x 30" grow box.

Subscribed. Aluminum foils create hot spots with reflected light. Camping/Emergency blankets made from Mylar can be used to line your grow area.

Here is a list of better choices for reflective materials

actually cut down early cuz of a bug infestation.

Can you please post some photographs of the dried buds?
