ok so ive also been give nutes every other watering should i do once a week

In guessing you're using soil. If that's the case then every other watering is fine. Always water until you get some decent runoff... I'm not gonna say percentages because measuring runoff is an unnecessary pain. First start with the best mix you can find ... Years ago I was partial to Dr. Earth organics and upped my nitrogen game with guano and supplemented fully starting the second week of flowering. Second make sure that you understand you really feeding the roots so efficient uptake is really what you're looking for. That being said I would definitely use some type of mycorrhizae like great white or another inoculant of equal caliber. Then pay attention to what your plans are telling you. Also air pots or other breathable fabric mesh pots like smart pots will do a lot of good in preventing root-bound plants. All in all don't expect to get top shelf quality on your first grow as was said earlier no amount of reading or second-hand knowledge can replace experience. Lastly look into the drying and curing process in depth and pay attention to what people are saying because to do it properly you're going to feel like you're over drying them at first. I can't tell you how many first-time Growers think they have a beautiful product and end up going to cure too soon and come back to sweaty nasty buds that will never taste or smell right regardless of what they do to fix it. Good luck and enjoy.

BTW your plants really do look great ATM ...

Which strain is nearest the camera? Also what is the breeders name? I'm unfamiliar with ghs .. Is that greenhouse seeds?

The one nearest camera is greenhouse seeds super bud,I’ve grown it loads of times and it’s a very nice high yielding strain every pheno looks the same I always chuck 2 in my tent:) If you like lots of flavour superbud is great very similar to cheese but loads of it:)

your weakest provided resources are to blame for your fluffy buds. tighten ever control for tighter buds.

the best light in the world combined with the best temps and genetics wont do shit if over watering for example, or
not providing enough air exchange to mention another, or without adequate drainage, or over fed even.

I think everything has been mentioned already. But I'll give my 2cents.

I'll make a list, of what I believe are most important.

Plant health.
Plant size.
Nice node spacing.
Good lighting. More isn't necessarily better either.
Pot / container size.
Fantastic aeration in the medium / pots. More roots, more fruits.
Shit loads of fresh air exchange.
Good air circulation.
Consistent day and night temperature. No large fluctuations.
Canopy temperature.
Root zone temperature.
PH, PH, PH,PH, PH.
Humidity between 40 - 60%. This is very strain dependant as well. Usually sativa below 50. Indica above 50.
Nutrients. Not too little, and definitely not too much.
Strain.



We have to mimic mother nature as best we can.

Aside from the obvious like nutrients, stable environment etc.

The attention in veg has the most effect. Correct topping amount, correct light intensity and spacing to not stretch nodes/stems out. Good watering routine to expand roots in air pot or correct sized traditional pot to avoid root bound. Ligh intensity and an even multiple light source spread is the biggest thing in veg that I read people overlooking thinking it ''doesn't matter''.

The stretch after flip is the next big potential loss of weight, the canopy will grow out of efficient shaping if not careful, light spacing and intensity could impact that. People have done things to reduce the amount of stretch, as another pointed out by slowly reducing times from veg to flower. Some say full spectrum lights like cmh reduce stretch. I've also read about using a small deep red light? for a short time after lights out to reduce stretch. Some say reduced N will reduce stretch but I don't think that's wise, it's more likely reducing stretch by starvation. You can bend tops that get too far ahead, while it's the easiest sure fix for an even canopy I dare say it could have some adverse effects like slowing down flower time a little, if too extreme.

It's really expensive but phosphoload is a great product to reduce stretching drastically. Also just running about 25 watts of blue LEDs at 460 nanometer wavelength helps prevent stretch.. .
There's a doctor of botany who teaches at some weed College and they found that it only takes a little bit of that specific blue to help hold stretch at Bay. That's Pacific Blue mimics sky blue which is the frequency that tells plants to stop reaching for the sky.

I use a bloom additive called Carb logic by Dutch Nutrients. Gives your plants carbs/sugars to give them the energy they need for intense flowering periods and rigorous growth. You can’t add to much. Some growers use molasses or other forms but the plants don’t take it up well.

Trust me the bitches love it. The trichomes heavily develop after using a product like this. Would highly recommend.

Also prepare for the " FLOP " when they get even fatter.......

Definitely go by the mantra ..... " they are done when they are done. "

Classic noob mistake is harvesting too early , just let her do her thing.
Sometimes in late flower , even more pheno ( traits ) express , Purpling , TERPY profiles , more " RIPE " bud.

It's all good so far just stay the course ... No experiments
