Small buds?

[stone_sensation]

Hey all,

Basically this topic is going to be quite big, depending on whether I get the replies of course. I have a number of questions, mainly to do with the size of my buds.

I am on my second grow and have started from clones. The plants are healthy as you can see in the pics.

My first question is a difficult one, the mother was from bonus bag seed and I was wondering what strain you guys think they are and if that is causing the small buds?

The next question... I am using a 250w HPS light and it is 30cm above th plants. Is this an OK height?

The last question is basically what do you think is causing my small buds?

The pics make them look quite big but they are not fat but thin and about as wide as the width of a credit card (including leaves).

Thanks a bunch guys, let me know ASAP !

And another question, these plants are grown from 1 gallon pots, could this be causing the small size? I don't have room to fit any more and will be starting SOG with 1 gallon bottles (cut and blacked out) lol as a ghetto space saver .

PS. Didn't add any sand or perlite to soil as plant worked out fine, I will for next grow.

Hi there fellow grower!

Small buds can be from a nmber of things but mainly this one. The amount of time in veg.

How long did you veg em?

Your lamp hieght should be fine just make sure they're not gettin burnt by it

You can never esactly put a strain to a plant from just a picture usualy only tell whether its indica or sativa. Some strains are blatent but im not a strain advisor so i couldnt tell you.

Your pots arent an ideal size but i cant see why this would cause small buds. Would cause smaller plants tho. Also it could just be a characteristic of the strain.

Hope this helps and get back to me

Check on my grow aswell
