First time growing so getting excited / anxious. ILGM GDP autoflowers in soil in 3 gal pots. It’s about 9 weeks old under a 260W XL QB V2 Rspec LED.
The buds look much less substantial than many i see. There’s a lot of them but they look smallish / not very thick and filled in. All pistils are white.
Don’t know if it is or not @Ttgm. It may be a great light. Mine are real good because I got tired of airy buds and low yields and I finally listened to our light guru here on the forum and bought good lights. The lights I had grew ok…these grow great.
They have a long way to go and will fill in and fatten up especially after 6 or 7 weeks of flowering. The last couple of weeks they seem to stall but are just getting denser usually.
They are just getting started to actually look like buds, and from the looks of it, you’re going to have some nice fat buds! They will get alot bigger, as these pistols start to darken up it will keep growing more calyx with fresh new white pistols and with ever new calyx, the fater the buds get…
Patients and just watch the transformation
You want be disappointed
IMO HLG is the best. Nothing at all wrong with your light. How long have they been flowering and have you used any bloom boosters? I’m a big advocate of PK boosters. Whether you use any or not those buds will fatten up the further you get along in the grow.
If you have an extra space on your board ( XL ) you can order an upgrade kit and turn that 260 into a 320 with a meanwell driver. With that light, those buds will thicken up and come harvest, youll be super proud of yourself
What size tent are they in? I run two of those lights in a 3x3. Download the Photone app and get your DLI dialed and she’ll fatten up. She still has a long way to go, she’ll start to fatten up as those white pistils start turning orange.
