As the title states, I'm 6.5 weeks into flower. Coco coir, cheap "800w" blurple bundle light. Picture is largest of all the plants main top sites. Error and mishaps are ok for my first ever grow but just want to improve. I know they were watered too much and too often early. Photoperiod plants that started and ended in same 5 gal fabric pots. Really should have started small and up potted. Live and learn.

Yeah man its quite small. What is the lights actual wattage draw? Definately doesnt draw 800 real watts. Also it almost looks like its too far away from the plant. It looks stretched.

It definitely stretched right before I flipped to flower. Spec sheet says it draws 215w. In a 32"x32"x60" tent.

This is the primary reason you have small nugz.
200 watts of blurple will flower a 2x2 footprint, either get more power, better efficiency or downsize.
Thanks for the response. Already looking at a better light for next go.

Invest the $$$ into Good correct spectrum LEDs or just get a HPS system for a couple hundred bucks... Best bet in the long run... Not sounding like a dick but doing it without the correct quality lighting you're just wasting your time, that goes for anyone who does that.
