I am a noob. use 3- 400w hps, room 4x8,pro mix,ff tigerbloom and crystal burst every other feed. ph 6 at all times. I had root rot ont the lemon skunk (very light green buds) along with many deficiencies. the headband (darker buds with white crystals) same issues. all plants had no circulation of fresh air/outtake and were extremely over watered. Itook from a friends where we were growing and brought to my spot. I recovered all plants with sweet tea and super soil blast. both have benificial bacteria. all plants had also been in horrible potting soil that packed tight after.watering. I transplanted 2weeks before flower. corrected ph (which also was 8+ before I took over) aded tea mixes and tlc. trichromes are plentiful but buds small. am I doing ok??? super noob,first grow and have 10 plants starting flower now. need help . and dont.know how to add pics to this shit lol

They look good for day 32 of 12/12... always remember that the first 21-24 days are stretch period, and bud production doesn't go into full time growth until after that. So you're just over a week past that stage, you'll start to see things fill in completely now.

they never really streached....except the lemon skunk. it went from 24" to 60". the calixes are just beginning to swell. and these plants went thru so much stress. the lemon skunk had a root ball the size of quarter at 24" tall. I had to replant. I expect low yields but hipe its been worth the effort.
 
They look alright. Good job on the turn around and for getting them out of your friend's plant murder palace. One concern you'll have soon is that those little branches might not be able to support the weight of the buds. Consider supporting them sometime soon so they don't start snapping off on you. Nice work.

I see the pics you posted 10 days ago. If you harvested 9-10 days later you took them waaaaayyy to soon I think. Your pics 10 days ago look like you had around 4-5 weeks left.

You already harvested and dried the plants from The post dated 8/9 ?? Way to soon bro...patience is critical at that time in flowering...g/l in the future

What kind of light are you using? I have had some small but quite potent harvests off of florescent lighting. it looks like that is what you had going on, quality spectrum just not quite the intensity that you need to produce bulking long buds deep down the plant canopy. It happens... If you are using the same light, try flipping them into flower sooner with the lights down on top of them, or prune up really good from the bottom to allow that growth energy to go into the buds. Hope this helps! -Cheif

Wow, those buds didn't even look half way done in the last pics posted. Your yield was probably 1/4 or less what you would have gotten had they fully matured.. most of the weight is packed on in the last few weeks. :/

Live and learn dude! You've just gained some experience points. May be early but you have learned from it so not all is lost.
