I’d guess that light is drawing a lot less than 1200W and feeding coco every three days all the way throughout seems like too little feeding. 1.5 liters of feed per week sounds super low. Probably other factors contributing as well.

Hi

Heres my thoughts from what I have read here.

I grow in coco in 12l pots. I feed up to 4ls a day. The watering schedule you used sounds more like a soil one but I am no solid grower so it might not be.

The light you have sounds like a 120w. Is it branded? I have a used a bluple fake spider farm. It grows weed buy not the best.

Are you planning on starting another grow or have you started one.

Theres a mentor request thread where you can ask for someone to help you through the grow. I had a mentor for my first grow and it was so helpful.

I bet its more like 150watts LED.
Also thats not a lot of water. Get some pics up and lets see.
I already harvested them :(
But they seemed very green and healthy even a day before the harvest.
Did you check the trichomes? If so, what were they like?

Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

For me, that would be too early. I like to see amber on mine.

Hi there,

There could be loads of reasons why.
You could have cropped long before they were ready.

What light do you have? LED lights often overstate what they are in terms of wattage. They're sold as 1200w for example, but use anything from 1/4 to 1/2 of what's stated.

What size pots were you using? 1.5 litres doesn't sound much to be honest.
I've been using 20 liter pots and i have a light similar to king led lights. It just says 1200 watts but i don't know, it was very bright. Purple color. I followed a chart given by advanced nutrients which was a schedule for 8 weeks. I waited like 12 weeks. Postponed the harvest. But might it still be not ready? I dont know guys this drives me crazy.
That is a lot of pot for so little water. Sounds like you weren't getting any run-off too, which means you'd be getting a salt build up.

What medium were you growing in BTW?
I was using coco coir, and didnt have any run off. But the water was distilled drinking water, would it have salt in it?

This is so close to what I have. I ended up getting another light as the one i had didnt give dense buds at all.

Agree with the comments on watering. Mine is drinking more in a day than you are giving yours a week.
