Flowering for about 30 days now of a recommended 67- there are about 50 bud sites in this plant. Do y’all think these will fill in?

I grew out a couple ackbars, some very different phenotypes, one was over 6ft while the other stayed under 4.5ft. I don't think yours looks like the tall one, my guess 2.5-4oz. Buds should fill in at the top but you wont get much lower penetration with that light, overall looking pretty good though. I enjoyed both of mine, it was a nice smoke but nothing remarkable in terms of flavor, potency, or yield.
did you say this was 90% indica?Here are a few more pics.
did you say this was 90% indica?
im questioning because them leaves are slender,i grow mainly sativa and rud and always thought indica was big ole fat wide leaves ,probally wrong,dont matter to em i smoke um all
even if not ,nice looking plantsthe fan leaves on these that we let grow bigger were very fat. they take a while but they do end up fat af
I dont think you are doing anything incorrectly, I said that overall its looking pretty good. Based on my experience, side by side, the blurple lights do not perform or penetrate nearly as well as my hps, timber cob, or hlg qb. The blurple lights made perfectly good potent bud but only the top 4-6 inches would actually be nugs not larf, the yields were relatively small. I started dabbling with led because I just wanted a little supplemental light for my hps and tried one from bestva and mars hydro, there are simply better options out there. Before even buying those first two leds I decided I would buy larger units from one of the nicer brands when I was ready to commit to completely switching over (for flowering at least) and once I did have those nicer lights as a basis for comparison it was clear that a lower wattage light from hlg or timber priced the same or less than bestva or mars hydro would perform even better while saving me money on electricity.Why do you say I won’t get much penetration with that light?
I felt like the light was penetrating pretty well..do you have experience with this light, or do you think I’m doing something incorrectly?
Thanks for looking.
I wouldn't stress over it, you could save the money going towards the c02 and put that towards a light upgrade. Your plant looks healthy and happy, it seems you are doing everything right which is all the more reason that light is probably your biggest bottleneck to a bigger, higher quality yield. I still use my mars in a little 2x2 clone tent and the bestva occasionally helps my hps and a timber with veg duties, flowering is all timber and hlg.Thanks a lot. The LEDs are new to me so that’s why I asked for more clarification. I had been pretty happy with how things were progressing but now I’m not as sure.
