As the tittle suggests i'm 30 days into flowering and although i have quite some bud development ,i did expect a bit more to it now one thing is that the 2 plants have been feeding on very low ppm around 600 ppm
nutrients: flora 3 part only Bloom and Micro
GrowTek Cal-Mg
BigBud from advanced nutrients for 3 weeks from the second week of flower
Rhino Skin from advanved nutrients
TopMax from Biobizz.

I guess so i had more faith in the new supplements i got since my last grow was only with flora Bloom and Micro ( lucas formula )
Also i'm having a galaxyhydro 300 w led after tomorrow which i ordered . Should i replace the hps for the rest of the grow or should i finish my grow with hps ?

Your expectations are a little too high friend. Your plants look FINE for 30 days. As my doctor tells me, keep doin' what you're doin'.

I'm not really the person to ask on this. I use an old skool fluorescent (T-5 lites) to veg & HPS to flower. I would think you wouldn't have a problem though as long as you don't change the on-off schedule. From experience, I've had a light fixture die on me in veg and temporarily replaced a fluorescent fixture with a metal halide fixture I borrowed from a friend. No problem. Weed's pretty resilient.

BTW, I like the Bio Bizz top max, I use their Bio Bloom as well in flower.

Good luck with your grow.

Downgrade ? more like upgrade i currently have a 250 W HPS and i'm going to replace it with a GalaxyHydro 300 W led
Ohh padawan, much to learn you have, the advertising wattage is never the actual wattage when it comes to LED light so your gonna be switching out a 250 actual wattage Hps, for around 160-190w of LED, NOT upgrading, If I where you I'd switch to tent Asap and throw both of the lights in

I'm no pro, but all my research says the LEDs are great for veg, HPS gives bigger/denser buds typically.

Yeah wattage is not the only means of measure when it comes to lights PAR also plays a very big role

Yeah but if it's putting out at a lower wattage, So even if you switching yeah your getting more of the RED and Blue spectrum, but at the cost of lower wattage, Meaning it won't be as intense as the spectrum you get from the HPS Light
didn't get that really there again i've seen quite a few grows where lower wattage leds get the same results to higher HPS lamps
which means leds are more efficient.

Look dude I've been Flowering with LED since i started, an As much as I wish their where as powerful they just aren't, COB L.E.D on the other hand is become increasingly impressive the more threads I see. But I'm telling you, seriously it would be a waste of time/energy/money to go from 250w HPS, to 190w LED, from a brand that looks like every other cheap LED,

I would love to see these grows you're talking about tho? cause every video/thread/ picture I ever seen the LED's fall short of their HPS
