First grow, flowering stage advice needed.

Hi there, on my first grow. My setup is 400w hps, 3 plants in biobizz allmix. Nutes were biobizz grow for veg and now biobizz bloom for flower. 1x thc bomb 1x berry bomb 1x blue cheese.

As you can see in the pics, my plants arent the biggest.. my mistake I think was I topped them way too much and over watered a bit too much in veg stage. I has nute burn and/or light burn as you can see on the leaves at the buds but I have lifted the light and flushed all 3 plants 4 days ago, they look much more greener than they were so I guess that helped.

My questions are, do you think my plants look healthy and okay? most plants I see have lots and long leaves and mine are pretty small. Also I cant remember the exact date in which I switched to 12/12. So is there any-chance you guys know roughly what stage they are at? I'm pretty worried that the buds haven't swollen up yet..?

Thanks for any help

No, they are not healthy, but what you have is a tasty learning experience that will get you high! You're suffering from several kinds of stress; noticeably nitrogen deficiency, which is probably pH related nutrient non-bioavailability. $3 words, huh? The bottom line is the species is remarkably resilient to our unconscious attempts to kill it. Try again and next time leave them mostly alone. Start with great dirt and lots of it. Don't top n chop. Just get out of the way. They know what to do.

What should I do then? Just leave them or take them out? I got new seeds that should be here today so start again so...

They are not likely to get bigger but they could mature. Have you looked at the trichs under a scope?

yes, out off the ones that are there, they are id say 70% amber and others are milky white. So I guess im looking at not even an oz all together?

Start again, but that's unrelated to this harvest. You wont need that light for a while. There are many grow philosophies, many valid methods. I prefer to prepare huge pots with pH balanced sea nutrient rich soil, and then the hard work is done. Don't fertilize if the soil is right. Water thoroughly but only when it needs it. Fertilize lightly pre flower and during most of it. Always test your water/fert for pH and adjust.

Forget about yield hopes. Your next grow will deliver 4 times that. Enjoy!

so these buds aren't worth going on with at all? They seem okay to some extent

Look its your first grow, some people like myself didnt even make as far as you are now. Its the best thing to learn and you will becoming better each grow that you complete. You really need to learn and read your plants. If I was you I would give them a real good flush before you chop them, they look pretty fried. I use BioBizz lineup too, what and how were you feeding them? Have you read any books on growing before? You are doing great man, dont stress over it, learn from it.

Yeah I read for a good couple o' month but nothing beats a good hands on experience. I have learnt alot from this one and hopefully have better success on my next grow. Only question I have now is should I leave them, cut em down now and dry and cure. Or just throw them out...?

I would smoke every single bud

What you need to do is check the trichs on the buds, do you have a loop or scope? whatever you do dont toss them, they are still good, marijuana plants are resilient mofos! I would definately give them a nice flushing, if you havent already.

Yeah I got a scope. They should be amber yeah? I flushed them 4 days ago now

did they not look unhealthy some time ago?

I bit but then they perked up, I was just going along with it as its my first grow..

its ok, im sure your next grow will be much better just underfeed if anything and don't overwater and I don't think topping is the cause for any problems.

Yes over watering was my main problem, I calmed down but it was too late. Should I harvest what I got now? Most off the trichs are amber and a few cloudy ones

so is it okay to harvest them now?

Harvest what? lol Bro those things would dry up into dust. It appears as though most of your fan leaves are pretty much non existent, so anything from here on out is going to only be so-so at best. Good luck, but it may be time to cut your losses on this one.

Started a new grow today. Decided to go along with drying what I got just now. I also took popcorn buds and made them into firecrackers, worked nicely.
