I have two Sativa plants, and two Indica plants in a grow tent, we’ll ventilated , 1200w LED LIGHT. I have a lot of flowers /buds 4th week of flowering . My question is, will the buds themselves grow much ? They are nice looking now, but not very big. Also, are the co2 bags you can buy worth buying ? Some have told me to save my money. I have a 3 x 3 tent with an exaust fan going outdoors. Will the fan affect the co2 bag ?

Yes, the buds will grow bigger, and they still have plenty of time to do it. As for C02 bags, I agree, save your money. Most small grows don’t need extra C02 anyway.

Thanks, I have visions of 6" buds fighting to push each other out of the way. I have been feeding my girls with Fox Farms products, and I think they are doing great, but I don’t have anything to compare them to, and I have never done this before, so I don’t know what they are supposed to look like.

I also use Foxfarm, so don’t worry, you’re doing great. Your plants look exactly as they should at 4 weeks of flowering.

They will get huge… lol… you still have 6 or more weeks to go… 
Co2 only really benefits your plants in veg and 2 to 3 weeks into flower… after that not much of a benefit unless your in a sealed room…

Each time you top the buds get smaller, they look just right and they will get a lot bigger and fatter. Do you have a fan for air circulation?
. Hang tight, they’ll get big. But you may want to look into getting more light during flower, that one 1200w led may do fine during vegg but you’ll be lacking in flower. I had three 300w leds over one plant and got this bud

Your plants look really good. If you keep that up and get more light you will. Amazon has roleadro 300w grow lights for $52 they used to be $79 @livefast @Momtomask @Countryboyjvd1971 and I have used them and can vouch for them. What’s the actual watt on that light, you may not need more. And how big a tent?

@Pat2 You need a fan blowing on them to help with transpiration and to make the stems strong enough to support the weight of the massive buds you want. It will also help stop mold.

I will have to ride this grow out with the light that I have, (budget issues). I will look into adding a SODIUM VAPOR light for my second grow. Thanks for the advise Hornhead.

Hey HornHead, I just checked out the package my light came in and it’s a 1500watt LED , my tent is only 3’ x 3’ x 60" . They say you can’t have to much light, but I don’t have much more room in the tent with the LED, and the exaust fan.

Patience grasshopper. Keep the schedules, bloom nutes, bloom booster and temps within range…and good things will happen. Dun forget two week flush at end.

Sodium vapour lamps do not have enough light in the right part of the spectrum and are woefully inefficient . A high pressure sodium on the other hand would be of great benefit during the flowering period. They pump out a bit of heat but plenty of light in the right spectrum for flowering.
@Pat2 Those roleadro lights @HornHead dang is that the new cost or a deal? still would like to add one more and like you said you’ll vouch for em I will too still got em hanging want another haha oh n nice bud things crankin!
Make sure the air venting in from outside has a filter on it. I use a paper shop-vac one on mine
Keep a look-out. ive seen the roleadro lights “buy one get one free” on amazon last month
