First time led grow help

[Kingled]

I found a little mold this morning so definitely going to start flushing, you don’t flush? I thought you flush longer in soil I thought if you didn’t your smoke would be harsh?

These would have to be ready for a weeks flush now I’m at 38 days

You got banannas something not right

Damn, what type of mold, where/why?

I only feed plain water, no nutes, so nothing to flush. I did read the guys who feed synthetic nutes on here mention though that Dr Bruce Bugbee recommends no need for flushing. I may also go watch his video if I get a chance.

Congrats, she's pregnant. She's throwing nanners and has self fertilized. And you're harvesting way too early. Let them mature. Example outside when growing vegetables, you don't pick them right away, you let them fatten..

so I have bananas and mold and you tell me to keep going I don’t think that’s the best advise, for me looking at them they are as ready as they are going to be, I have grown this strain for about 6 runs and if these aren’t ready none of the past 6 grows were nowhere near ready! But they were fat buds this strain normally fattens up in the beginning then the feelers brown up but none of them were as brown as this grow.
Last grow was under half n half led chm and I was really impressed, this is the first one under solely led going away for 9 days from 2 week point makes it a little hard because I wasn’t here to keep an eye on things but I think the next one I will run 2 leds outside and a little 315 cmh in the middle, I think it will make all the difference

Looking good again bro. You can definitely grow! What was the mold issue you had? You should consider running one of those girls all the way to the end if everything stays healthy, just to see the difference. The bud really swells up after all of the pistils have turned brown and then all receded into the calyx, so you basically can't even see any pistils really as they are sucked up inside the calyx. This is around the time I start checking trichomes. You'll notice they will still be glassy/clear when the buds are not mature, but then when get all swollen they will turn milky/cloudy looking and after that start to go amber. My girls were about the same stage when you cut this grow I think, here's a pic from 1 of them that's furthest along but still not there yet (in wk9 flower now).

The mold would have been because I used a little pgr on one of them to stop the stretch, I very really do use it I try not to because of mold issues and I don’t like using it.
This time I have put a cmh 315 in between the 2 leds as the last grow the middle plant was lacking light and didn’t perform like the other 2.
At the moment I have the leds closer to the top of the canopy maybe only 8inchs from the top I have the pro grow light on max and the spider farmer on 80% as it’s a 800w and the pro grow is 630w, there is no signs of light stress.
My ec is high around 2.7 with run off around 3.4 they are looking great but with what you guys have been saying I have never really let them run as long as I should but I always get nice fat buds with the cmh normally run 3 630s one over each plant and yield around 50 oz.
I have been doing this for some time and normally harvest around the 6 week mark.
I will let them run longer this time and see how things go no pgr on this run

Yes to running them longer.

Even if you just let 1 go longer as a comparison it would be interesting to see. You're certainly getting decent yields from your plants cutting them early (I also need to support some buds starting mid flower) but maybe the high is a bit racey, do you smoke it yourself?
