Ahoy mateys!

so like, this grow is working out...being patient n that getting results. still i gave 'em 7 1/2 weeks of veg and they grew almost the same as when i give them 4 weeks...any reason for this? flip em at week 7 of veg this time and they currently on week 3 of flower. Using a 250 watter HPS maybe thats why they dont grow much? was expecting em to fill up the entire fukin tent yo....

Temps usually around 25c duing lights on and humidity 60%...added Co2..soil with canna nutes.. these babies are Critkal Mass...i get nice big buds but the plants grow slow during veg...any tips would be amazin..last grow with 2 plants i had like 70g dry flower ...very far from 1g per watt... not sure what to do besides filling the tent with like 9 plants this size ? small pots??

One fo them had some issues cuz its reused soil i dunno it was all wrinkly in the begining ...:S

Maybe give us more info about the media and nutes/feeding schedule you are using, also the distance from the light during veg. Is it a new bulb? What is your water source like, do you ph it? Stuffs like that. You need all the pieces to troubleshoot a grow, there are so many important factors. I do agree, they should be larger for 2 months of veg. What were the temps like during that time? Cold is a major culprit in the winter. Still, you should get a nice crop out of those though!

Yes I know..like I said using canna terra line ..terra flores boost cannazym n cal mag...I keep the light 40 cm from the tops the entire grow..any closer and they start getting heat stress on the leaves...will lower to like 30cm last few weeks of flower...yes I think it was because if the cold..winter here and they suffered abit during the early weeks I forgot about that...thanks!!

i have some blue foam so they are disconnected from the ground...i started them in january so it was really cold during the night and some nights i dint use heating i think they got a bit stunted ...last year i did a grow during the summer and they grew enormously in 4 weeks heheh...it really is worth it to use heating in the winter it seems :)

They are rated to last that long before they burn out but they experience significant amounts of degradation. After using that bulb for 3 grows you could be putting out 15% less light with a degraded spectrum depending on the bulb. That loss of light and spectrum can result it a lot less yield compared to newer bulbs. It's worth spending the 30 bucks.

Posting some night pics .week 6 flower ... Wifey says it's too small and we won't have enough to smoke again...damn what u guys think these gonna yield? Like over 100g?? Probly going to upgrade to a 400w next grow ..using a 1m2 tent and will a 400w improve yield alot over the 250?think I can fill up the tent now since I kinda know what I'm doing xD

yes it will be quite noticable with flower production and depth of bud growth, a stronger light will penatrate a greater depth and you get more bud suites as well as larger colas

yes i think light penetration is a problem.ut i thought also that for this space it was the maximum i could use...tbh i still think my problem is not the light ..this time was temperature , because( and i will post pics) the buds are quite big at the top i dont see them becoming much bigger..they fill my hand easily ...just need to make sure they grow more during veg imo... make more bud sites from that no? i should get like 200g at least from a 250w according to science and some other grow i saw on youtube where they made close to 1g/Watt with a 250....
