Buds 4 weeks looks sad want input

Ok here I am on week 5 of 12/12 this is a sour diesel strain buds look small I have her in a closet and clones in the room on 24/0 light do you think light leak is my problem or just piss poor growing?

It looks pretty stretchy to me. Did you top it? My guess is you didn't or it would be more of a bush.

What lights are you using? If that's 5 weeks you've got a serious problem.

I have six 100 watt 2400 k CFL is there any saving it I thought I read that sour diesel has a long flowering phase of like 85 days. And I did not top it's my first grow and I veg her for like two months

...ok..every time you grow you need to set your room up and so you should have gotten in your empty flower room and checked for leaks, you should have timers also i hope...looks like you may have some leaks because that should be doing something by now, i THINK this can be caused by high n but not sure on that..also if your going to grow again learn to lst and keep your lights very close to get a nice canopy, get an hid for flowering because its hard to pull off anything worth while without one. grow in organic soil with organic nutes, no miracle grow no schultz 20 20 20!! tap water needs to sit out a day or two before using.. those are my tips off the top of my head because i could write a whole page of instruction...

I do have a timer and I did rush this I grew from seed and was not wanting to waste money till I was sure trust me if my clone grows I'm doing it a lot diffrent. And I'm on well water with ph of about 6 so I just addfert

always double check your timers as well on the first week or so of flower if possible, you may find your light was turning off late or turning on early..or only turning on and off certain days!

Hey Rookie83
you got some good advice from some real pros here. I have been growing for a year now and have learned everything from this forum. My only advice is to don't give up. It is possible to get a decent harvest from cfls but it takes some practice and yes hid lights are much better if you can afford them. I would also look into vegging in one room and flowering in another. Light leak can really mess up your grow. Here is a pic of one of a few buds I harvested recently. Hope it gives you an idea of what you can do with some experience behind you.




Hang in there dude and you'll get the hang of it. I know I still have a lot to learn but with each harvest I learn and enjoy the results. Happy growing man.

I did just move my clones to another room and hung a comforter over the closet door it's pitch black in there now. I just hope I can get this plant to reveg but the way things are going it dont look good

What is your temperature at ? They look stressed by heat imo. Running 24/0 creates a lot of constant heat, do you have an exhaust fan? Try for 76-82 F. Check under the leafs for any signs of something. Good luck and keep a journal of what you've done, helps.

wow that sucks... sour diesel too.

I only have my clones on 24/0 just transplanted them to larger pot know I'm going to drop it to 18/6. After I got rid of light leaks can already see a little more perk

that thing is a bean stalk haha throw that one in the garden and start fresh u wont regret it

Man it is really hard to see you setup with the pics you added. But based on what I can see it looks to me like you have grown huge plants and all under only a few cfl's. Basicly in my opinion you have grown them too big for the lights you have. Wack a 400 hps in there and they will do much better. I am also growing cfl only and my plant is too big in my opinion and I would say it is less than half your plant size. Good luck man. Don't lose heart, you will learn and get better. Just don't give up.

So should I just hack off as many branches I can to try to clone. There are no buds on any of the pistolas and there turning brown

wow...you harvested those WAYYYYY too early......

Next time let those buds MATURE, you really fucked yourself out of some good fat nugs. Those thing had atleast another 3-4 weeks to go.

Rookie83, don't chop your buds when they look like this PLEASE! Hate to see all your hard work for naught

i was gunna say that about BUDzrus' buds as well those things look like they didnt even hit the swell stage yet and all those pistols are still stringy and white... dang bro id cry to have wasted my time. The thing that people dont get is while the plant is growing the High you get form the Cannabinoids changes so if you dont wait you might not even get high... or you wont get your nice tasty buds hard packed buds like you could have... im talking swelled 2 times the size if you waited 2 more weeks

Whoh guys I have not harvested anything yet lol I at least want to c how good they turn out. I'm on day 35 of 85 I was just saying if I should cut some more clones off the bottom branches
