the nugs look way too small to be under a 600w. how far away were they?

not to be a bummer, but i use a 400 and thats how mine look in week 6

started off with six ended up with 4 , I realized the light was too far away about 3-4 weeks into flowering. Yeah i know there were some things I could have done different to improve my yield I've learned alot my first time so im really excited about the 2nd time around.

The lights should be 2 1/2 feet above canopy, but with a fan of course.

I run a 400 wat hps and put that bitch 1 foot away from canopy without burning, but my fans are aimed right at that bitch lol

well mines were about 2-3 feet away from the top but then I moved it to about 10' from the top, maybe its the dstrain maybe it was shocked at some point Im not sure but a friend that had the same strain said his was around the same size..

Were you running a new bulb? If you buy used stuff sometimes the bulbs can be used up and have lost quite a few lumens. But anyways I think it shows the light intensity wasn't strong enough because the top buds look amazing, they are just slightly small and below them the nugs are very small, but regardless it looks amazing, so I'm sure you'll have a nice smoke.

Yeah man I bought a 250w light just to grow a couple plants and I figured it would just turn off when it was old, but it would just keep on keepin on until it was barely making any light. So yeah it may seem like it's bright, but it could be producing a lot less than maximum lumens.
But who cares, something to improve on for your next grow.
It wouldn't be any fun to start off with a perfect grow and have no room for improvement.. (if thats possible)
