No Colas Just Really Small Nugs Help!!!

[DrTHC]

Hello Fellow Growers,

New girl here and I’m struggling. Please help me understand why my colas haven’t formed? So I purchased the seeds last year in January and April. After months of unsuccessfully starting a grow my last attempt finally survived. Didn’t start this grow until late fall. Roughly around Early and late November. I didn’t track it because I figured they wouldn’t last like the others. That was my fault. Well fast forward to today. They have no colas just several small nugs. Everything else seems fine. They are in a 4x2, filter, light, and fan. She’s cheeky banana and red runtz. I give them their weekly multivitamin. I am trying to automate the right recipe but I don’t feel like that is the culprit. Can anyone tell me what’s going on with my plants. One is a couple weeks older than the other three. I feel like I’ve ruined them and don’t know if they are able to be harvested or if they would be consumable. Please help!!!!

Media? Light? Nutes? How often are you watering and how much? There's a lot of bud in there, it's just not connected into colas. If this is your first real grow and you make it to the end with healthy plants and flower that's usable, you're doing great.

They honestly look fine lol just keep feeding them and wait out the flower period I honestly see nothing wrong...

She left more leaves on it than I would have. She is doing just fine IMO.

That's what I'm saying her budsites look pretty good to me like I said I'ma new grower myself n it looks just fine? I'm always scared to take to many leafs my first plant outa this harvest I didn't defoliate any and this second plant that's coming out of it I took over 250 flan leafs n could prob take more but I don't think I will

One plant is actually older by two weeks. But week 3 sound right for my other three plants. Closer pics attached let me know if they suck or not. I can take better ones.

I started with four plants my first indoor grow and I've had so much help from the fellas and ladies here in the forums I have harvested one auto and I have two more autos and a photo just now hitting week 3 of flower ive learned to let em do their thing feed em give em light n let the plants tell ya what they need if ur girls are happy looking ur doing all u need to be and u should get some nice smoke gotta say its totally different than growing outdoors

What npk are u giving right now? Synthetic or organic? I was told if leafs are super dark green and shiney in flower to back off the nitrogen I'm using jacks on this photo in flower 10/30/20 at 400 ppm every feed I used flora nova bloom on that auto up there it's 4/8/7

 

[capone304]

Where ur week 3 of flower u should be giving them heavy phosphorus and potassium n if ur doing that in a few weeks u will be golden

VIVOSUN smart air filtration, they are sitting on top of a heated seedling mat, Aero light 200 watt full spectrum light with the fan, there’s an additional circulating fan in the corner, and nutes are given every week. The last time I watered was 5 days ago and that’s only because I developed too much condensation inside the tent two days this week. Other than that, I water them every other day.

Im using organic nutes by homegrown cannabis stage 3. 6/2/12

they look fine, next time i would look into some lollipoping and using that scrog to stretch the plants out a little more. you did alot better than ninety percent on their first grows though thats for sure. they will fatten up though.

Is 6/2/12 not enough?
