Trichomes starting to develop

just noticed im now getting trichomes :grin:…but how long before the buds start fattening up



same photo just 1 is zoomed in

You have a long way to go yet. The buds should stack or stretch for a few weeks. The real “fattening” up is in the last couple of weeks before harvest.

ok cool, didnt know if they should be already or not, i know im not goona get my full potential as im working with a 4×4 tent with sf1000 and mars hydro ts1000…also not able to check run off or anything…ive got the tent, lights, ventilation, extra fan, apera ph pen, and nutes for this grow

Are you running both lights at the same time?
If so, that should be enough for 1 or 2 plants to make nice buds.

yes i am, im looking into getting at least 1 more soon

That looks exactly where my plants are. Gorilla Glue #4. First time so I probably won’t be much help. How much longer usually from this stage?
