First Grow: popcorns only?

[The_Moz4rt]

Hello growers,
I'm growing this girl (autoflower), currently at day 60 from sprout, and I'm a bit worried about these buds.
Using a 150w LED light (TS1000)
They definitely look like popcorns to me and I can't see them touching each other to form nice colas any time soon.
Is it too early to confirm that or should I resign?
pH, EC and VPD were all in check during the growth.
Only thing I could think of is maybe I stressed her a little with defoliations even tho she never showed unhappiness or stunted growth till now.
I didn't know as a noob that every branch was going to make flowers, so as you can see in pictures I didn't remove any during veg except just a couple at the bottom.

I would love to hear your opinins. Thanks in advance.

Plant's height: 68 cm, width: 75x75cm

How long have they been flowering? They look good to me (although I don't grow indoors or autos)

As it's my first time I can't really say when real flowering stage began. But you can get a better idea checking my Diary here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/136087-grow-journal-by-the-moz4rt

Sorry in advance for linking another website. Be aware I'm not sponsoring anything.

It looks early in flower stage like 2 or 3 weeks flower and its 8.5 weeks since sprout... I think you did an excellent job with that plant just be patient it will fill in more its time to increase slightly more the flower nutrients

not all plants are big fat chunky baseball bats some are more modest yield but I definitely think they will fill in way more at this point
my guess is 4 ounces on that girl minimum

One last thing I would not defoliate at all but it does not look stressed by it..... whats happening is the stretch phase is over now. the filling up the buds part begins now you need about 3 weeks of getting fatter and another 2 or 3 to finish depending on the plant and your preferences of early or late harvest

More sativa types can go a week or two longer to be fully ripe

I have not seen an auto description with more than 11 weeks flower and usually the flowers start at week 4 or up to week 6 for more sativa types fromm seed I have not seen descriptions of autos that take longer than 6 weeks from seed to start flowering
Theirs also some strains that can be finished fast like those sweet seeds strains its crazy now a days what their doing with autoflower

Thanks guys. I'll try to be more patience, wait and hide my scissors! Fingers crossed

I had some plants that flowered like this. The buds were popcorn buds but really good and worth the wait. I was surprised how much weed I got from the plants and they had a real nice buzz and smelt so good too. I had to wait until the end of Nov. and get her because of a freeze. She would have gone to Dec. if it wouldn't have had a freeze. Be patient because it will be worth the wait. When I look at your photos it reminds me of the killer weed that came off those plants. .

Neat as can be !

Looks like you are growing in DWC. Problems I had were water going bad from light exposure, and air stones getting clogged. 2 ways of running are with a tea (which i had better results with in flood and drain) or sterile. Think Snype suggested 1 drop of plain bleach per gallon for sterile reservoir. I am currently getting lame bud set from PH swinging up to high. Runoff is high and solution sitting a few days before using raises 4 or 5 points. I used heisenberg tea when running live reservoir.

Forgot, another problem with DWC is water temps, which should ideally be 68F.

She looks perfect, just young.

 

[Bush Dr]

Nice looking sativa flowers …another 2-4 months and they might be done

 

[St. Phatty]

Looks like a basic indoor Sativa.

Nothing wrong with Popcorn bud, for personal consumption.

IMO, your plants need more light and this is causing the Popcorn buds. PCBuds has this issue sorted. PCBuds has shown how plants can be tied down for more efficient use of less powered lamps, namely SILS. PCBuds also uses surrounding strips of LED's. You can look at PCBuds latest posts using this technique here: https://www.icmag.com/forum/marijua...0815-pcbuds-mini-grow?p=18097006#post18097006

As you can see, this is getting very good results with LED strips and SILS.

You're doing great.
Your plant will start filling in now.

All my plants have taken around 12 weeks to finish. (I only grow Autoflowers.)

This was my plant 2 weeks ago.

LED lighting usually yeilds at least a gram per Watt, and if the environment is all dialed in you can get over 2 grams per Watt.

I've found that the plants are never finished by the time that the seed seller says.

I've had seeds that are supposed to be 9 weeks from seed to harvest and they all took at least 12 weeks.


Make sure you decide when to harvest by looking at the plant.
Your pistils should all have turned orange before you harvest.

You can also get a cheap jewelers loupe ($5-$10) and check the color of your trichomes to help you decide when to harvest.

Thanks to all guys.

Yes I'm growing in DWC, currently running a sterile rez as there is no way to find Hydroguard, components to make Heisenberg tea or any beneficial bacteria where I live, unless I pay 150+ dollars for shipment.

Won't take 4 months as it's an auto, but i guess it still have a month or so. I'll check the trichomes.

The poor light could be an issue, I'll keep going to the end anyway. I've already spent enogh.

Also I don't grow to sell, but getting nice colas would be awesome anyway.

thanks for using our ts1000. how do you think about it? the plant looks nice
