Hey all, I had an old thread, but I'm just gonna start a new one from here on out. I am 24 days into 12/12. There are buds everywhere, but they are still pretty small. They look great, I'm just wondering about their size. I am using a bubbleponics system, with 3 air stones. Also, have 3X125W CFL, 6X42W CFL. I think this is a shitload of light. No clue what kind of bud it is, it was bag seed. The grow is going really well, I just hope the buds fill in. Is this a normal size for just over 3 weeks flowering? There are buds EVERYWHERE.

I'll be updating from here on out. If anyone has any questions, ask away. My next grow, unless this turns out phenomenal, I'm going with HPS. I did this really to test what everyone says can't be done. CFL the whole way, bagseed, no temp control, no CO2 injection, no special material on the walls (just white pant)...yada yada.

are those buds not too small for this time frame? I mean, I'm gonna smoke what I get, no complaints. I'm just curious why they look so small. Maybe its just early. I really don't have any idea what I'm doing :)

Those look really good zoe! Make sure your lights are as close as the temperature will permit. Side lighting is key for the development of lower bud sites. If you goto page 3 of my grow, you can see my plants at 24 days flowering.

I was worried I would end up with dandilion buds too. That space between those fuzz balls is going to start filling in pretty quickly provided they stay at a decent temp, the pH is managed, watered properly, etc. After they fill in the distance between sites they are going to swell. Have they been growing up pretty quickly? Expect them to fill in nearly as quickly over the next 10 - 14 days. Looking good!

Thanks man. I will keep this updated. Watering isn't really a problem, as I'm doing DWC/BubblePonics. PH is pretty much always perfect as long as I change water and nutes once a week, as I do. And I have a lot of lights, so, maybe I'm just being paranoid. If my buds turn out anything even remotely like yours....I will shit my pants.
