Minimum is 1k. That's a high minimum lol. You can grow big and great buds with a 600w.

Most pistils are still white only one of the plants has 40% so im wondering if it's ready or whether it will grow more.

How much more do you think it will grow? will it be like the picture where the whole stem is covered?

Ah so basically it can still give out the same yield but it will look less due to lot of stretching? btw I don't know if I can it's very hot at the moment and I'm running the best Rhino fan if I lower it I'm scared it will burn my plants.

wont give same yield as the light has less effect on the lowest bud sites

I wish i had pics of my last master kush harvest. Ran about 40 of em, hit 100°f for most of flower. They still turned purple, flowered in 50-53 days and were just as dank, with the same bud structure as all the cuttings prior (in lower temps).
Just make sure the night temp isnt drastically lower and you'll be fine, watch for signs of over heating. Increasing airflow/transpiration and lowering ec/ppm will help. Your already feeding a bit too much.
He's right, the lower bud sites will become useless fluff that you cant sell, this is when higher output lights come in handy. But any stretching is lower yield, we arent trying to grow stems, it takes up more energy.

Thank you, this is my second grow
my first grow was 2 plants, one got burnt so badly that it gave 2-3 grams, another I harvested too late + when I tried to supercrop snapped few stems off accidently.

You guys...
I'm not saying you can't grow big under 600. However, do you really think they wouldn't be bigger with more watts? I mean, is this really up for debate?
1k is MY minimum and it's not a high minimum wattage. Sorry for saying anything less is a waste of time. OK? It should have read "Anything less would be a waste of my time".
Lots of good advice here OP from all posters.
Good Luck.

Lumens? Really? Since when do plants use lumens too grow? When using the proper size light for a particular space wattage of the bulb (other than the actual quality of the bulb) has nothing to do with bud size. Its genetics and environment that matters most.

Be patient and learn from each grow Wolverine. Dont measure your success based on comparing your grow to others. Keep growing. Learn to read your plants. And learn some basic horticulture and botany along the way. The latter two things are best accomplished away from cannabis forums.

That's better.
I run 2000w, I'd just never knock anyone else's preference.
Plants use PAR, lumens is for humans.
