My buds are small

I'm in week two of flowering & my girls buds are small should I worry? Is there anything I could do to make them plump up more?

Just wait. buds don't even show until 2 weeks into flowering and the flowering process is 8 weeks average so just wait, they'll get a lot bigger, the biggest growth is in the last 2 weeks anyways.

too bad they don't have a special microwave for this shit.

at about week 5 you can start using a pk booster, but as mentioned, it's small time now. the last 2 weeks of growth is when you won't see much, if any growth. this is when the inside of the buds fill in, adding weight.

Yeah I was just concerned a bit. Any1 have any idea on how yield I'm in for? My plant is a Hindu skunk sativa about 3feet tall now. Grown in dirt under 3 100watt soft white bulbs. I knw I knw I'm saving up for a 400watt hps system. Any idea?

3 100watt incandescent bulbs? I doubt you'll get much bro. You can get them any direct sunlight?

Minimally you should immediately rotate in 100W replacement CFL's (@ Color temp of 2600 degrees 'soft whites' - do not use the 6500 degree 'daylight's). They use 23W a piece, put out better light, and most importantly give off way less heat which allows you to bring the plants close. With CFLs you can put the the tops of the plants as close as 1-2 inches below the lights. Lumen output goes up 'exponentially' as distance decreases, so the closer the better.

This will make a huge difference, not cost much (buy a'contractor' pack of say, 6 CFL bulbs, for example and they can cost as little as 2$ a piece).

Good luck friend

Thanks for the advice I hopefully get the hps system in about two weeks the most. If I switch over to the hps system two weeks from now will it cause any harm to the plant?

2 tbl spoons molases per gal, per feeding. bump up 10-20% in the end.

No not at all, it will only help. You might need to up your watering schedule a bit because the jump in light / heat will cause the plant to respirate more that it will under those incandescents.

Just watch the distance to the light. Between 12-16 inches is best if you have the temprature in control (lower than 80) and some airflow over the plants.

Thanks for the tip with the distance on the lights. Hopefully they come in soon. I want my plants to enjoy as much light as they can.
