effects of too little co2 and light leaks.

i had various bagseed plants. 30 of them. i flowered at 2 feet tall and discovered that i had a light leak. i fixed the light leak about 4-6 weeks into the flowering.

my plants flowered for 3 months and never developed full buds. it was more like hairs instead of bud.

i am pretty sure this is because of the light leak but i want to know if it is possible that i didnt have enough ventilation and therefore co2 deprivation.

Light leaks if they are bright enough could make your plant hermie due to stress. The white hairs are calyxes, and as long as they are white, the plant is still in the flower development stage. Not all plants, all though everything was the same, will grow at the same rate. Those plants will just take a little longer. You could try upping the nutrient on those plants. I have a couple plants that are behind the others, and they are bigger. I was feeding them the same amount of H2O. The bigger the plant the more nutes and H2O it wiil take to feed it. I recently went and bought some Purple Maxx snow storm. A friend of mine uses it and said it will help speed up and enhance resin production. It can also be used at any stage of flowering. Good Luck

i cut down the plants and made butter. these were not just white hairs from sex these were little buds. you can see them u\in my signature grow journal. they flowered for 3 months and most of them the hairs turned brown and they were over flowered even thouigh they never really grew
