Question on effect of stunting on flowering plants. Please help

I have my plants that are in hydro. I just started week 5. I was doing great until the beginning of week 2 when I added some powder to the mix. I did not mix it up in warm water like it said to because my mom-in-law was in town so I had to sneek in the closet to even get the powder in my res. that was a big mistake over the next 5 days I saw my leaves start getting yellower, I realized they were messed up and changed out the res 5 days later, but the damage was done. My plants are budding now, but I know the are stunted and smaller then they should be. My question is, does that mean my buds will not get as big, or does it mean it will take longer for them to be ready to harvest?? Thanks

Any time you stress a plant it will effect the harvest, but that doesn't mean that it will be ruined. I fucked mine up pretty bad two grows back,(mine were yellow too) and they still produced great after i got the problem fixed. I'd say that they did take a little longer to mature, maybe a week, but that wasn't real noticeable either. As long as you got the problem fixed, you should end up with a good harvest. I'd say you should still get at least 80% of the yield you would've had without the problem.(would be easier to guess if I had some pics) Best of luck.

Stunting will add weeks to your harvest, but once they recover the buds will grow normally.

I was wondering, because I was going to take clones off my mother like 2 weeks before I harvest what is in my hydro system now so I can get the clones to start rooting and after I harvest I can go right a head and start with the fresh clones.
