vegged 9wks/ flowered 7wks pics with a few questions.

So here they are.
Strain: Bigbud
Nutes: GH Maxibloom finger: will not buy again)
Lights: 400hps + 150hps
PH: 5.4-6.5 (i ph down after it hits 6.5)
Humidity: 35% on avg
Temps:74-83max
Vegged for about 9wks
12/12 for 7.5weeks
Hydroponically grown flooded 3x with lights on. Should this be changed?


I have roughly 30tops. These were two bigbud mothers. I decided to just flower them as cloning these moms were an extremely depressing ordeal. They were about 2.5ft when i flowered. Then I lst'ed them.
My other strain mazar x afghani clones like a champ. It is less touchy and grows in the harshest conditions (1800ppm with over 9ph water).




Whereas this plant...

Keeping the ph below 6.5 is a must. Its hyper sensitive to over fertilization.
Below is an example from buds from mother 2.









Mother 1 isn't as sensitive. The buds are full dense and beautiful.





So my question is, what should be my next move? What can I do at this late of stage to bring out the density of these buds..?
I am currently feeding with a very light nute solution. Is there a better way to fixing these sad spindly buds?






Both moms are unmovable. I cannot seperate these two. One decision affects both plants.


(quick note, i was changing the res so the airstones went on top. this also explains the humidity drop. also the temperature shown on the thermometer is higher than the actual room temp because of the 150w hung on the side is shining heat ontop the thermometer)


A few tops are responding to my low nute regimen but the rest are slow to follow..






Thank you RIU.

unrelated and unhelpful, but your crazy to have that electrical outlet right beside your water like that.

could not agree more.

Dam man you should have asked for help about 6 weeks ago. I would just feed them with a stronger mix of nutes gradually. If that doesn't help then put the ladies to bed. sorry to see some much time and work turn out like that!

Yep... should have been blasting them with Grow and Bloom. you will still get some good smoke though. hell that should last you till ur next flower stage.
BTW: last 2 or 3 weeks they should fill right out. really lanky plant though, next time you might wanna try a good F1 indica/setiva Hybrid. yours look setiva dominate.?

Damn thanks for all the help.

Yeah this strain was touchy. Also I wasnt aware of using both grow and bloom at the same time. I'll try to read up on it so more.

As for the few worrying about my safety. That sink isnt used. I get my water from an RO filter which is actually upstairs. Right below the table is a toilet and thats where i drain. Also when i get the resources too im definately gonna buy seeds from a reputable seller not the previous place i bought from.

This is my first grow. I guess we all gotta start somewhere.

GROW FOR GROW, AND BLOOM FOR BLOOM, i use grow until they show sex, then drain and start to use bloom, last 2 weeks flush with pure scottish H2O you cant beat it.

Ah gotcha. Thanks for that tip. I shall commence flushing soon. The resin glands looked cloudy and about 10% amber.
