O.K I got 1 plant that's doin fine. Looks like another nice big bud's gonna form on it. but plant B..... I dunno the buds look thin and airy. Should I just let them be and give them time to fill out? Or is this a sign of real trouble. Please advise.

i really dont see any signs of trouble here, give it some time. as long as it doesnt go hermie on you or have some bad bugs living in it you might as well let her live, sure the harvest probably wont be as much as the other plant but hey more bud is more bud

They look healthy enough, so I would let it be.

Are you useing those halogen work lights for growing? I have researched those and they are basically worthless for growing plants and they put off so much heat that they might cook your plants.

Saw em in one of the pictures, be careful with those.

It looks like they never had enough light to flourish. The budz look airy like that because of insufficent lighting. There is little to no branching from the node on the plant. That leads me to believe you have insufficent lumens for the overall area of your grow room. If you are growing under CFL's it will take a bit longer to grow. What kind of lighting are you using? What type and watt? What is the area of your grow room?

can you be more specific about the light? because i got 2 plants under the same amount of light doing different things. that's why i was asking about their look. I am using 2 lil 17 watt cfl's (65watt incan). tho minimal if is sufficient for my task. are you sayin that it's not enough light for a multi-stem plant?

not all plants are the same. So you need to go large bigger watts i got 1000 watt and i am watch mine grow. Yours are all streched out at the top.But until you know what u r going to do good luck bud

Not near enough light man. If there is no branch growth from the node (a branch growing from where the fan leaf and main stem meet) it is not veging at full potential. I started out with a 150 watt HPS and got great branching. CFL's are a waste of time unless you are trying to grow a charlie brown x-mas plant that yields 12 grams dry.

elee the foliage looks nice and healthy your triks are coming along nice all i can suggest is to keep the plants rotated to maintain even light distribution no signs of stress ,just need that extra time to fatten up , now would be the time to add molasses if you want to experiment
its obvious these people didn't bother to look into your last grow..keep up the good work +reps on the grow

Ahhh, Been using it throughout the flower cycle. (molasses that is) I've been sold on it since the last grow. I think right now soil and organics are gonna work best for me till i can get some quality light. That way food really doesn't have to be an issue. Thanks for the help Rob! The first square watermelon's gonna be for you!
