Popcorn buds!!!

I have a xxx420 plant growing in my room. It's been flowering for about 8 weeks now, maybe more, but the yeild isn't what i expected. I'm broke so i didn't have the proper lighting materials, or hi tech cabinets. I had good nutrients though, but the yeild still isn't too impressive. All well, i still got sumtin goin. The buds so far are small and popcorn like. They are currently at the top. They have red hairs, and milky thc glands. I don't know if i should harvest them now, or wait longer to see if they can get bigger. I could remove them now and get more light to the bottom of the plant, cuz i headr the lower buds get even bigger. Should i harvest the top now or give it a few more weeks? Shit is small but looks real good!!!

If they are ripe then harvest.

smoke them buggers

depends what kinda high u want if u get sum pics up we can help u more

I'm having the same issue and I'm going on 9 weeks

do you guys have pic of these small plants, I think i am having the same issue. https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/112152-stunted-plants-possibly.html

Proper lighting and ventilation are key to a good harvest. The reason you didn't get the harvest you wanted was because of the insufficient lighting, conditions, and just experience.

Once you get a couple of grows under your belt and you get the proper supplies, your yeild will begin to increase and the buds will get better and better..

And as said before, if the buds are ripe, then harvest. If they are not ready yet, let them go.

Ok, cool. Yeah, it is definately due to lack of equipment. I got a flurecsent bulb, and some milar foil arround 2 sides of the plant in a corner in my room. I was giving it good nutes, but then my fan leaves started to die so I figured I wa overdoing it. I flushed it and now I am just giving it BIG BUD. I'm broke, but I try. Ed Rosenthals books help immensley. I think I' gonna harvest just the tippy tp tomorrow, and see what's up and get the bottom flowers more light. I'll have pics posted soon.

That sounds like a good plan. Harvest what is ripe and wait for the rest to ripen.

They just look so small though. I'm wondering, are these just groups of flowers and not really buds? The trichomes are milky to amber, but they are damn small. Should I wait more and let is go to the rejuvination stage and see if it buds up more? With a fluresent bulb, how long should it take for plants to bud up once the flowering stage starts?

Pics would help.

It sounds like your fine except for the lighting, which is probably the most important. How many watts is the floro your using?

Bro, I know I sound so novice to everyone here by sayin this, but I don't really know! Lol! I got the light with this single hydro bucket kit I ordered 2 years ago. I started to grow with it, but then I gave it up. A year later I decided organic would take less attention from me due to the fact I got kids and shit, lol! So in all that time I do not remember what it said the wattage is, lol! It's a hydro wholesale fluresent. It's all spirally and shit like the ones u get from wal-mart. I'm pretty sure it's the minimum required to keep a plant growin.

hah yeah that light is fine but you need a whole bunch of em

Yeah, it's 30w, and i only got one. Lol! I guess i should get more, but i gotta order em.

Yeah that could be a problem...

Your usin a 30w fluro tube?

If possible, get yourself a 150watt CFL

Just need that and she will prob take off. Normal light socket.

Yeah, that bulb looks great, but how much is it? I'm unemployed, lol!

You don't need to order more of them. You can get 26watt CFLs at Wal Mart for real cheap. If you want the 2700k spectrum, you can get them for under $1 each. If you want the 6500k for veg, you can get a 2 pack for like $7.

I use 8 26watt CFLs for veg, and a 130 cfm computer fan I got for under $10 shipped from ebay.

Dang, that's a good deal bro! I'm on my way to wal-mart right now!
