Should I rip?

[Black_one]

Hi all im growing very berry 3 fems on 12/12 for 5 and a half weeks they only have small buds on them about 1 cm. My setup is soil, hardly any nutes and 3 100w fluros I grow in a robe with no fans but they get most of the 12 hours light outside in full lunchtime sunlight. I have alot of other plants that could be taking up this space and a hydro setup im putting in, they have only recently started to really get into budding.

 

So in the view that i have many better plants to veg and the budding plants are badly streached and not proforming to well. Should I cut my losses and try for a better crop next time?

 

(They really are in a sorry state no brantching off just one main stem and about 18 tiny buds clinging to it)

I would say the main problem is your lights (and possibly lack of nutes). If you have a HPS to go with that new hydro setup I'd agree, turn those plants into hash or canna butter and start again.

No hps atm but im getting one in a few weeks il be veging the babies under fluros them using the hps. So rip em? or at least rip the most streached one(It also has the biggest buds)

Why not just put them outside as trellis plants? If you have the space and/or privacy for it that is, or you could finish them off in another wardrobe/cupboard with some standard compact fluoro's.

the lighting atm is wrong to keep flowering and its a stealth grow no more room to put them anywere

Most likely it is related to the strain you have. I'd say it is a late maturing sativa. If you leave them longer they should mature and you should get bigger buds. Make sure you have the space (height) and also make sure that the plants only recieve 12 hours of light per day. No more! Anymore than 12 hours and your plants will stop budding and start veg'ing again.

 

Keep them if you want, but you be better off starting again with a decent fast maturing indica or hybrid.
