I want to reach through the screen and put a few cups of buildaflower top dress in that empty space in your pots! Not a fan of NLS but you are not having issues so far. Fingers crossed.

I’d try slowly increasing light intensity. 50% is a bit low for the age of your plants.

I would say bring them up over a several days slowly. I run 24/7 as well for ease of ops. My thinking is the DLI or amount of daily light would be the same as running more like 80 percent at 24 hrs vs 100 percent at 20/4. I have a new 4800 and am still playing with it.

Okay I’m going to increase it a little bit and see how they do

You think I should slowly bring it up like once a week?

Over a few days rather than weeks. Small increments see how she reacts.
Good luck.

I would go full power maybe ease up to it

You know guys im not really sure the intensity of the light is an issue at this stage. A 600w high quality led ran on 50 percent can grow some decently sized plants, you can get bigger with much lower quality/power light. How close or far away is your light from the plants. If you're not losing a lot of coverage by lowering it id suggest you do that, then you can save on electricity as your plants are all still quite short i don't see a real reason to amp up the power when the light can be lowered.

Thing is I'm more of a coco/hydro guy so i might be expecting too much, butbased on the color of your plants i cant say you've fucked up based on their feed. the only other thing which could be limiting them is airflow? is all that sorted?

These are now on day 36. I gave them some bloom booster and they seem to be looking good. They are small but packed with bud sites. Maybe not a big yield but I’m hoping for some good smoke maybe. What do you guys think.
