Very Small buds !?

[mrmuffler]

Ok so im probable sure i can answer this question my self but i figured it was time to turn to people with real experience.

Basically this is my first try at growing and my girl is around 2' tall with many branchs, problem is is that the buds are Very small, almost as though they are not there !

This grow started with 70 watts of light from Flurecent tubes and has now gone on to CFL's only a total of 5 producing arouns 8k lumens (i know not enough) i have them setup so 3 are on the sides and 2 on top. For this grow i used some Nutrients but i cant say for sure not enough, even though the plant grew strong but bud production is almost nothing.

Ill try get some pictures up tonight but im pretty sure its a little late im about 8+ weeks into flower.

Flowering requires more light than vegging... can't say more without pics and more info.

Im running 5 cfls. 150watts equivalent, i have 2 over the plant and 3 from all sides, temp is 70 humidity is kept around 23%, they get water every 3 days and little nutrients. I will take pics and post them up

I understand you all need more info but what exactly are you looking

IM in my 9th week of flower and the size is not moving at all, im unsure if i need to add nutrients or what !?
Im looking around at everyone elses plants and at the same time im at they have a Lot more bud ... My plant really has almost nothing in terms of bud about 3 or 4 grams wet i would say

How close are your lights to the plant?? CFLs need to be as close as possible... like 2-4" away from the plant. Not enough light could probably produce the mini buds. The plant looks healthy just baby buds.

[mrmuffler]

Im not sure if the reason they are small is because i have lights on all side and not just all above the plant.

They are about 1"-1.5" from the top and the others are about the same.

IM at 8k lumens total.

I forgot to mention the main cola was topped and when i did it, it ended up dying. and then the rest just continued to grow!

also growth on the rest of the stems is very slow almost nothing, they all have Huge white hairs but No bud at all!?
