How do I get big buds by end of bloom

Hi I'm a newbie had my fair share stuff ups but finally ready in week or two to pull my 3 when I look at them I couldn't guess how much I'm going get can we post pictures get your thoughts. I have an ocean pearl and 2 strawberry Kush. Btw anyone know much of ocean pearl. My aunty's had it since '97 meant be non anxiety causing type. I also recently got given a 4 week old blue widow (( blue cheese X white widow) but I'm really here to ask my 3 ready week or two whats somethings I can do to get best biggest buds come out I use cocoa a&b kelpac budlink calmax in cocoa fibre soil.

These are ocean pearl left strawberry Kush right

Light, light and more light. All the quality light you can put over them. Seriously that's the main key in producing top shelf.

I just have light attached to a dimmable ballasse on 600w 12/12 is that big enough for my 3 in that tent? Did my pic come up as was wondering if lights low enough

Ready in a week or two to pull them for what? Out of veg and put them in flower?

Bottles don't grow big buds, good growers do.

Should be OK.. can you show the whole tent in a pic? It really depends on how big the plants are when you go into flower.

Obviously light is important and a 600w is a good place to start. Nutrition... air flow temps and humidity will all contribute to the quality... aswell as the dry and cure process you use. Lots of reading to do.

I'm guessing tents 1.5mtrs X 1.5mtrs I'll get pic show light etc thankyou

As I said I'm new to it all solo- to pull them dude they be 8 weeks on bloom by then. I've learnt from few absolutely amazing growers Inc my auntie who's had the ocean pearl strain since '97 and only ever given me & cousin clone. But I follow what she does few things lil diff but rest same as she produces killer weed

And I was told pk 14 and worm juice?

Those plants aren't in flower yet. You're going to have to double check your light schedule. Then they will have probably 2.5 more months before they are ready. GL

I think you seen wrong pic they my ones on grow my ones on bloom have buds white and brown hair

Pictures with grow lights off are best. Turn them off and use your camera flash.

That being said the ones in the first picture look like they have like 6 weeks left. The ones in the second picture maybe just a little less. Hard to tell with the grow light.

Yeah tis 6 weeks? They've been on grow 5 weeks bloom 6 1/2 weeks. I know don't go by 4 grow 8 bloom as all are different but another 6 weeks make them on bloom for 3 months?!

It's extremely rare to have a strain finish in only 2 months of flower. If someone tells you they have some that do, more than likely they are harvesting early.

Plants finish when they are done, not because of some arbitrary number attached to them.

Yes, they look like they have about 6 more weeks before they're ready.

Lol thanks I've been taking pics only when lights on dumb ass me. The light could be closer?

You've got a few weeks- a month left by the looks of it

You're right but I've grown some strains that just produce small buds too, very few though over the years

6 weeks?! I'm not questioning your ways as you obviously know what your doing. But my aunty and cousins for many yrs done approx 4-6 weeks grow 7-9 max bloom. Ocean pearl can only take 7 weeks. Both strains are beautiful and very popular.

If you can get a clear picture of a cola that'd be great. Zooming in on it and it just gets blurry. Looks like 4 weeks at least.
