Just after your thoughts on these buds that seem very small and not formed for being 2 days short of 6 weeks in flower. I'm thinking it's not enough light plus some other issues, previously with hps I've been way bigger and more formed by this stage. This is the first time I Have tried with led lights, i was ment to get a 3rd light but funds had to be spend elsewhere.

The canopy is about 5 ft x 3.5ft, 2 plants
2 spider farmer sf2000 lights
6 gallon pots 70/30 coco perlite mix
Feeding twice a day currently at 1.7 ec, h&g Cocos 1.5ml of each a and b, 0.5ml of top shooter, 1ml of bud xl and 0.5ml of multizyme ( it was 1ml but I've almost ran out so halved from a week ago to make it last).
Day temps 26° night temps 20° - 22°

Those lights are what, right around 200 watts each, so 400 watts for 17.5 sq ft. That's 22.85 watts per sq ft. You need to be around 32-40 for best results.

Those two lights together should be good to flower a 4x4, and those dead leaves at the bottom of the plants are normal. Your plants are taking nutrients from leaves that aren't getting enough light.
Are you counting flower from day of flip, or when you first saw buds forming?

Yeah it's cutting it a bit tight, I planned to have 3 or 4 of them to test out the led side but it just didn't happen kinda regretting not getting a 3rd.

Ahh. Some do, dome don't. You might want to look at pics of plants at the 4th week of flower and compare. Obviously different strains, grower skill, and all that will affect things, but you might get a better idea where you are.

Your right it does look more like week 4 or 5 compaired to some others I've searched on here, but as you said all these thing effect things as some of them at 4 or 5 weeks look much further along than mine.

If I were you I wouldn't stress out too much comparing my grows to those of others. Just grow them to the best of your ability, learning everything you can as you go.
