Hi all, this is my third organic grow and 6 weeks into flowering I'm not seeing the sugary, fat buds I was hoping for. They are still respectable mind you, but not awe-inspiring. Pics attached...
These are all bagseed from a while back, but are all indicas, and two I think are Northern Lights, or some variant.
My question is, is there any value in adding a bloom booster at this stage (only 2-3 weeks left before harvest), or am I wasting my money? I'm inclined to skip it and try again next time early on in flowering, but you folks are the experts. I had thought that the carb-y goodnees of Heavyweight would be enough to beef them up, but then I read about some of the other bloom boosters out there and am wondering if it'll do them any good. I don't use CO2 but am thinking about getting a Co2 boost bucket.
Here's what I'm feeding them:
Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom - soil
Botanicare Liquid Karma
Nutrilife Heavyweight
Gro-Tech Cal-Mag
Growing in a soilless mix in 3 gallon pots under 432W of T5 Flourescent lights
Should I add HydroPlex or a similar bloom booster now for the last 2 weeks or did I miss the optimum window?
Yes, I know that I'd get better results with HPS lights, but i'm in 4 x 4 closest and the heat would be killer. T5's are what I can do and they have worked pretty well.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!
