[lounge]

Hello ,this is my first grow ,plants are at week 7 from seed and im afraid that buds are still too small am i wrong ?

I got 1x 250w 2100k and 1x 125w 6500k

It is gonna take them a few more weeks.The small buds are most likely due to the low amount of light they are receiving.Some hps lighting would make them buds come alive. It seems a plant takes longer to develop when using cfl.From my experience a plant grown under stronger light (hps) will finish a week sooner then under cfl.

Im feeding them with BioBizz Bio-Bloom

GUARANTEED ANALYSIS
Total Nitrogen (N)…………………………...1%
0.5% Ammoniacal Nitrogen
0.5% Nitrate Nitrogen
Available Phosphate (P2O5)………………....3%
Soluble Potash (K2O)………………………...2%

When they start to flower i was adding 3 -3.5 ml per 1 liter and some leafs got burned ,thats why i reduced nutes to 2ml per liter.
I heard that autos are very sensitiv on nutes.

Lights are very close , unfortunately i can not afford more light at the moment.

Howdy - Lounge. I just did a La Diva search and found you. I too have become concerned about my La Diva's slow flower development and flower size. It along with the Pandora are growing plentifully, yet, both have small flowers with lots of bud sites. I decided to try 24/0 LED. Too late to switch without big problems and it may work out well in the end. The irony is that it may extend flowering. We shall see. The La Diva will never make the 49 days per the seed bank claim. Many La Diva growers have noticed the strain to be nute sensitive. But they need the extra nutrients and I am going to feed just a slight amount below low dose. Mine is 39 days today and needs at least three weeks and possibly more time--unless--some hormone kicks in. The Pandora has many weeks to go. So--don't worry to much. Keep me posted. I will bookmark this tread. If, you don't see me respond give me a PM. I would like to see how you are coming along. :thumbs:

Lounge - you might want to ask a mod to move this thread to new grower section. If so let sparky954 and I know. It will be probably be ok to continue in this fashion--if you like. Ask Muddy.
