I have a week and a half left of just straight watering with no nutes until I cut my plant down and my buds are so small?

could this be because I didn't have enough fresh air entering my grow room. I kept the door closed with just a fan on in the room and a 600watt mars hydro light?

From what I can see in those purple pictures it looks good for the amount of wattage you're using my point was double the wattage or add side lighting and start feeding for maximum yield

don't want to get into a discussion on flushing, I don't care who flushes or doesn't, I taper. You're holding your plant back with low light and by withholding nutrients, good luck

I agree the light is more likely to have caused limited bud size. watts = weight. The 2 anomalies with full spectrum LED's: actual power draw is often lower tham than whats stated (amazon states mars 600w has aprox 270w actual power draw) also the real draw back of full spectrum is you dont need the blue end of the spectrum in flowering you need the red end. so your 600w has gone to 270w and that has gone down even lower. follow BW if you do want to bulk her up. seek advice before you buy another light. Im on my third grow and still got shit loads to learn. keep your chin up and best of luck with your girls.

Lol that plant has waaaaay more then 2 weeks left. That's the first reason the buds aren't fatter. The plant is probably only half way threw flower.

How many weeks ago do it actually start to show flowers? That's how old it is. But it won't be done at a certain date, I will be done once I has fully grown and matured in the environment you are providing.

That plant looks like maybe week 5 of probably 10+

Big buds = good genetics, optimized nutrients and water quality, optimized lighting spectrum/intensity, optimized temps, optimized humidity, optimized air quality (air exchange needed), sufficient pest and control over undesirable pathogens. Basically optimize everything! :bigjoint:

All great advice. The seed pack maturity date is just a guideline for ideal conditions. Super Silver Haze is strain that is know to take a few extra "weeks" when it is not grown in ideal conditions. Hate to burst your bubble but, you are going to have to spend and extra hour a day staring at the plant for the next month . . .J/K.
