Hello,

I am litte in Panic because my 4 Plants don't produce much Buds they are in 8 weeks but they look like they are in 5 weeks makes me litte nervous. Light is not the problem running 4 x 55 cob cxb leds each corner. Maybe I do to much leaf defoliation? Ore is the Strain the issue here?

I remember something about you having cold temps.. what are your average day/night temps?

They are running a bit cold.. try no less than 20c at night and 25c + during the day. I would bet the medium where the roots are is getting too cold.

Is this an average intake temperature or canopy? You'd be surprised how important temperature control is.

With LEDS people want you running hotter than normal too, alot of people run 26c +being the best but try not to swing your temps more than 5c , and keep them hotter

It's tough to control my tents temps like that in the winter it would be too damn hot in my house

The very red stem has me believing that it is temperature but it could be something else too

Plant size and bud size is also a function of root development and root ball size. Not sure how long you vegged them but I'm thinking this is all about a short veg period and not letting the plants develop into larger plants early on.

I think it's a mix of things. Lower yielding strain, too much defoliation, and possible environment. Skip the cookies next time and get a better yielding strain.
I Grow 4 Strains only 1 are a Cookies the Rest is Ice cream punch. For me they are behind

That's sounds right i Grow them for only 30 Day's than I Switch because of the small tent size i can't wait longer but maybe I can if I want :D I thought it is OK not Grow longer but that's wrong?
