i grow for 1st time and my buds looks small on 4th week of flowering. i have full spectrum 210w LED

[beginer1111]

hop on amazon there are TONS of led's on sale right now! there are 1000w led lights for about 120 bucks with prime. i have a 600w galaxy hydro thats pushing out really decent buds and im getting ready to pick up another 1000w or 1200w led.

i think your plant looks good too. youre on the right path but get another light for your next run. they will start to fatten up in weeks 6 and 7 and start to ripen over the next few weeks after that.

Thank you for sharing your experience

So far you're doing good. Your plant looks green and healthy. Keep doing what you're doing and give it more time. Even when you think it's done, give it another week or two.

Lastly, don't worry about flushing. Flushing is bullshit, there is no need for it. You can lighten up the feeding towards the end. Or even plain water for the last week. But no need to pour gallons and gallons of water on it at the end of its life.

I hope this helps a little.

Good luck and happy growing

I just thought about flushing. thank for your opinion.

You can buy many of the same brands that you find at the grow shops and other online retailers for much less on Amazon. And you don't have to listen to some ignorant sales guy at the grow shop trying to upsell you with products you don't need. I've been buying equipment off of Amazon for years without problems. If you choose to overpay for equipment that's your prerogative. But to make the claim that Amazon sells junk is somewhat ridiculous especially since many of the items are not sold by Amazon but are sold by others using Amazon for their store front and using Amazon to fulfill their orders.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with purchasing equipment off of Amazon. Millions of people buy products there, are very satisfied, and save themselves money. I have had absolutely no issue with the ballasts, fans, timers, bulbs, etc... that I have purchased off of Amazon.

I agree with you. I also buy sometimes from chinese web shops. its often good items for even beter price.

Dont now true draw. Yes,i use one 210w led 72chips x 3w

The actual wattage is roughly half

So, yes they look decent for ~ 100w but, they would be much bigger with 2-3Xs the wattage. Now that said, wattage is not the be all end all

Plus, 'full spectrum' is much overstated, usually attributed to chinese crap that has 10-15 different mono spectrums

I have no experince in al of this,but my plant looks have no objections of this light. LEDs look pretty good quality and shines bright. about wattige i agree. its not enoght for any serious crop.

What about Blackstrap Molasses? May it be useful for flowers?

I only use it for making compost tea. The sugars feed the microbes. There really isn't a point in adding it to a gallon of water and then feeding it to the plants. It's even less effective if you use synthetic fertilizers.

Don't get carried away. Keep it simple for now (KISS). Just grow. Watch and learn. You can play with all the tricks down the road. We're newbies and we want to dive in but now's the time for patience. I'm telling you this because I'm feeling the same so voicing it to you helps me. Cheers.

For a new grow you seem to have a good grasp on the learning and patience aspect of things. This is one of the most sensible things I've read from a new grower in a long time. Keep thinking the way you're thinking and you'll become a great grower one day.

Thanks brother, appreciate the compliment. Chalk it up to lessons learned and I've been told the exact same thing on these forums since I joined.
