Low bud production - please check it out

Alright, I am approximately 5.5 weeks into flowering. Looking at journals, the amount of bud is two fold easy what I have. I am growing super lemon haze from greenhouse using 1 150 watt, 3 26 watt 2500k bulbs. The temp stays under 88F. Any ideas why the bud production is so minimal? The amount of trichomes/crystals seems average/abv avg. It's just the plant mass that is low... I may have over fed it a week or so ago, but I flushed it. The biggest buds are only like the size of a quarter. The cab is even near a window, so the plant is getting fresh air full of CO2. Any ideas/comments welcome.. I have a feeling I bought some shitty extremely overpriced seeds from attitude/greenhouse... :wall:

well 1st you have a sativa which takes longer, your temps should be 78 degrees and you don't really have that much light

I dunno... it doesn't seem to me your girls are suffering from lack of penetration or distribution, you'r lights are plenty close enough too. Don't get me wrong, you could go for better distribution and perhaps make the entire interior of the cab reflective, but there is plenty of dark green foliage from top to bottom.

Training would go a long way, but other then that, I think you've taken good care of this girl.

I'm going with Sativa Genetics on this one, this girl looks like one of my tall and twiggy sativas grown to her fullest potential. You're probably barely even half-way now. Over the next few weeks the buds will swell. My twiggy sativa takes 2-3 weeks longer then anything else, but she also yields 1.5 times as much bud as the others too. :hump:

Keep taking it easy on the girl, don't push too much food on her. Give her plenty of time to mature and ripen and her buds will get bigger. For a bigger yield, veg longer and train the shit out of your girl next time. Sativa's often need training indoors.

defo because it's a sative mate... They're a bugger to grow if you want a quick turn around, but well worth the wait when they finally do finish.

Good luck
