Help!

Hi, so new grower, I have Glookies, it’s coming to the end of their flowering period but the buds are tiny, what have I done wrong? Growing indoors, I have 4x LEDs, I topped & used LST (bending) flipped 11th June, they look really healthy but just haven’t got bigger & pistols are changing colour fast?

You should give a lot more information including photos. Every detail you gave give helps figure out what you got going.

Environment? (Temperature and Humidity)
What lights exactly?
How far are the lights from the plant?
What, when, and how much are you feeding them?
If you flipped on June 11th you likely have several weeks to go. 10 weeks is common, sometimes longer.

Growing in CoCo soil, 5 gallon tubs, lights on 12/12, using CoCo nutrients A & B & lately booster also calmag. Using the enhancer O2 canister. Average temp: 24, humidity: 52 atm
I know I have defoliated too much? Some are tall & some are short, I’m gutted
want to know what do do better next time or even improve this one

Lights are about 40cm from canopy…..

Defoliating to much will slow it down.

They look pretty good, however, I don't defoliate as much as you do. I would think they should be bigger for sure. If you flipped June 11, you have at least a couple more weeks, maybe longer depending on the strain and how long it takes to finish.

Also, I know next to nothing about coco so others here I am sure can help with what you might improve upon.

My $0.02 (which may be worth even less) -- I suspect bad genetics.

I would have guessed poor light, but that light looks like it should do OK. You have it turned all the way up, yes?
Temp and Humidity look to be in the zone.

I got seeds from Barneys Farm? Will shop closer to home next time. I was worried about lights, we have 4 for 17 girls, was thinking to get a couple more?

Yes lights on full

Yes lights on full

Should I cut my losses & harvest now or wait?

Hold the phones... this seems suspicious to me. That's 1 light per 4.25 plants... but those look like single plant lights. (2x2 coverage)

I suspect you need a MAJOR light upgrade... unless I'm looking at the wrong light.

IMHO you learn as much as you can from the grow and harvest is incidental until you grow some bigger crops.

Really? I found buying lights really confusing! It took me ages, I thought they were for a square metre & we have x4? that’s bad then, need a s#*t more lights? Thank you btw, really appreciate your advice

This is the nearest match I can find on Amazon for the picture you posted...

Given the specs being apparently identical, the coverage should be similar: 2x2 feet.

If you want to grow 17 plants at a time, you'll definitely have to get some bigger sun :)

You’re a star! Finally some great advice & opinions! I love learning about this stuff! You’ll all be sick of me soon
