New Grower Lots of hairs, small buds help

If you are only feeding it is 0-1-3, during bloom, that might do it.

My memory is that big bud is mostly monopotassium phosphate, and potassium sulphate.

Do you have DLI or ppfd numbers?
No numbers on the bottle apart from the nutrient percentages, pH (5,6) and ratio (which is as you stated 0-1-3). And yes your right, monopotassium phosphate and potassium sulfate, is this not as good as other nutrients? I bought it because I heard good things but I'm no expert.
Cheers for the help
 
12/12 is not holding you back it's the energy being supplied or not supplied in that allotted time. Gotta give'm more light and I'd say, closer too.... I've run 12/12 on autos for coupla decades, even with conservative feeding...BUT...I blast the hell out of'em for that 12....
Doesn't matter what you feed them if they don't have the correct energy to make use of it.
I completely agree, I don't think my lights r doing the best job, the thing is right now I'm having to prop up the smaller plant with objects so it sits at the same distance from light as the taller plant, although the lights are very bright and the top colas are only about an inch (if not less) from the light. Although the light reaches lower parts of the plants I feel like the lower parts arnt getting enough light.
Thanks for the feedback.
 
You state that you always have low yields and I wonder if your trying to time your plants finish with what the breeder/seed bank says is their time.....might be a better idea to at least add 1/3 more time to your grow estimation and invest in a good loupe or other magnifying device (usb microscope) and pay more attention to the trichomes to figure out when to harvest....those plants look good an with the internoal spacing should have some nice fat branches at harvest...good luck.
Yes your right, I do time it with the stated grow times, I just worry that Ill be leaving it too late and ruin my harvest. I'll leave these ones longer like you said because I know I micromanage my plants abit too much sometimes and have an old microscope somewhere that I could take apart and use the lenses to check tryches.
Cheers bro
 
Thanks bro I will take that into mind, I have to manually turn my lights on and off at the wall because my light don't have a timer and I havnt got around to buying a socket timer, would it make a difference to the plants if I just ignored the 12/12 I have been putting them on and just left them 24/0?
Thanks again.
for a 1000w LED, I would spend the ten bucks on a socket timer. Then leave em on 18/6 the entire time. You will make your ten bucks back in 2 months through your elec bill.

Personally I would run them on 24/0 instead of 12/12 but that's just me. I prefer 20/4 for my autos, I do have one running at 24/0 right now to help keep rh and temps stable.
 
Thanks for the help, I was thinking of just keeping it as 24/0 during all of flower only because I have to manually turn the lights on and off at the wall. Although I am thinking of buying a socket timer so I can keep them on 18/6 because like you said I have heard that autos need a dark period, but also heard that allot of people keep them on 24/0 so just wandering what would be the best bet. And I'm not too sure about the output of the lights, they have dimmed since I bought them but not much they are still too bright to look at so I figured they've still got decent output. In future will be purchasing a proper setup just getting a feel for things before I spend a load of money on equipment.
Cheers for all the help means allot

Mine usually do a good amount of fattening up in the last 2 weeks or so and still show white pistils among the brown.... Looking for amber trichomes seems to be best method for timing, I try for about 25% on indica's and 10% on the sativa's...
