buds arent filling out

peter berger · Aug 11, 2015

Hi guys this is my first grow and im starting to get worried. But firstly ill tell you what im working with.
Grow tent 2ft w. 3ft l. 5ft h.
250 watt hps flowering bulb.
Average temp 78 to 84 degrees.
Average humid. 45 to 55 percent.
I dont know the strain but it is defintly indica. I have good air circulation and have done my best to take care of them. Im 49 days into flowering but my buds dont seem to be fattening up. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I have included a couple pics.

What nutes you hittin them with?? Is that nitrogen claw I can see??

To me it looks like it could be a few things. How heavy are the pots when you water them?
What's your ph and feeding schedule looking like?
Are you positive you dont have any light leaks?
Any way you could get those daytime temps down to around 77 ish?

I would have guessed they were about 5 weeks along so they are growing okay flower wise. At around 6 weeks Indica usually has 2 - 4 weeks to go.

Its hard to control temp. Theres no air duct in my grow room.
I use fox farm nutes.
It is nitrogen toxicity when I first got her I was watering with well water.
Ph of the purified water I use now is about 6.2 to 6.8.
Ifeed them every other watering so about once a week.
Its very possible there is a light leak.

Is it 5 weeks from when you flipped to 12/12 or 5 weeks from 1st signs of flower?

Its been 7 weeks since the flip to 12/12

Well if you assume 10-14 days for it to switch into flower that puts it at roughly 5 weeks flowering so you probably have another 4-5 weeks to go roughly

Too hot and no air exchange. They are in survival mode and won't fill out until you fix that.

peter berger · Aug 11, 2015

Its definitely to hot. But I have my duct pulling in fresh air from outside. And the outake pulling it outside the grow room. Theres no air conditioning in this building to I have had to rely on the outdoors to grace me with cool air. Any tips on how to cool down the.tent?

peter berger · Aug 11, 2015

I thought as soon as it hit 12/12 it counted towards the flowering time.R1b3n4 said:

Gotcha i thought that as soon as it hit 12/12 it counted towards flowering time

Are you running your lights at night and keeping dark during heat of day?

get an air cooler/air conditioner ande cool the room the tent is in and let the tent intake air from the cold room etc

This is the problem...some people go from 12/12 flip, others go from 1st signs of flower etc, can make it quite confusing on here sometimes lol, should be from 12/12 flip but breeders especially count from 1st signs of flower then it looks like their strains flower faster than they actually do etc

No. Is that a better option?

maybe i'm not seeing what you guys are, that looks like a perfectly normal sativa to me, maybe a lil longer to take than some hybrids, but it looks normal to me.
I bet in another month that plant will be nice looking, already is.
Be patient, you are doing ok.
Some strains take a hundred days or more to finish.
also any light leaks will pretty much erase days...
i'd say it has another 30-40 days to go, and you'll see them fattening in about 3 weeks, maybe two.

if you have heat issues, and nobody is using thermal imaging to see you...
yea, I've been growing at night for over a decade, always works just fine, BUT you need a light-tight room.. which you should have anyways

I agree, your strain is only half way through flowering, ive heard of strains taking 14-16 weeks flowering time. Just keep it cool in there and use pk nutes.

don't leave out the nitrogen man, it's a sativa, those like their nitrogen in fairly good dosages too, something gotta fuel the stretch and bud forming, needs more than just phosphorus and potassium
