**HIFOE** · 01-31-2013, 01:25 AM

Hi im using a 400w hps cool tube and its hooked up to an inline fan and a filter that exits outside of my house. I have two windowos open at the bottom of my tent for fresh air intake. I also have a circulating fan blowing at my plants 24/7 and a led panel for suplumental lighting. I never have any heat problems so im able to keep the light close to the canopy without burning any plants. I never had any problems or deficiencies trew out the whole grow using the full line of FOX FARM nutrients. They smell gd and look frosty but NO growth in size, their in the first day of the 4th week of flowering. What am i doing wrong????? is this normal???? can anybody plz help????

That' not bad for week 4. Just be patient, give them more time. Like another 4 weeks then check back in.

yeah they look fine. How old the the 400w bulb?? They pack on a good amount of weight during the last 2 weeks.. Your doing great so far. Keep up the good work.

Dude great resin production that early...you are fine... The first 3 weeks in flower the plant is stretching not working on much bud production... the swell happens the last 3 three weeks...in two weeks your gonna see some growth

400 watts + MH are the reason the buds are not tightening. Add some 2700K CFL if you can to add more red spectrum to the light. A lot. Not hard as you can buy the 55-watt BIG spiral CFL bulbs at Wally. A cheap bowl reflector for each bulb. Or use a 2" X 4" board and screw porcelain light sockets onto it. Then put "Y" adapters in each one and a CFL on each side of the "Y".
