Mh bulbs have a diffrent light spectrum that in the flowering stage of the plants life It can't use effectivly. You need a HPS bulb (Lower kalvin) then you'll get some Nugs.

I think thats whats going on anyways.

Yeah you also want to make sure no light is comming in at all during the Dark period, Your plant needs 12 hours or more of complete darkeness to properly Bud

of course you can flower with a MH tho the buds will not be as big they will have a lot more potency to them as your problem it could be a few things...pot size, distance from light, heat, nutes......

Yeah dude, you need to stop the photosynthesis process for at least 12 hours a day so the buds can grow big at night. Complete darkness.

Also, switch to a more high phosphorus fert mixture.
