i was wondering how big a difference the lights make. i'm in the middle of my first harvest and all the buds are tiny. i have 11 plants and i'll be lucky to get 4 ounces! there's a lot of buds, but they're just no big. we used 1,000 watt MH m bulbs, we had 2, but one broke in a 15 x 6 sq. ft. area. so i drew them all close in to the light. they have never gotten any bigger, now they are turning brown ready to pick, but small. what is the single most important thing anyone can do to grow the buds bigger? bigger pots? different nutrients? i used a hydroponic solution for big buds. or is it the red spectrum lights i didn't have. also another question; 12 hours on and off didn't work. after 5 weeks i cut the light down to 8 hours. i did this for 3 more weeks. then i increased the lights to 11 hours on, this change seemed to speed up the rippening. thanks for any help, i've felt like a failure and it's taken since may. thanks everyone for being a part of this great site!
the 8 hours on will make your buds smaller as your plants arent getting full light, and how long did you veg these plants?? from what you say it sounds like you put them on 12/12 in the first place, which will only yield you small plants as they are going to flower as soon as possible and not veg very much.

they were vegging from may until mid september. some were over 5 ft. tall.
it was just the way you said it then. but the 8 hours of light probobly didnt help them, and maybe with a combo of that not having red spec. lights did it.. i don't know im still a noob grower. 8 hopurs of light for 3 weeks though, iveh eard of doing it for one or two days but not 3 wks
