why wont my buds mature?????

[bufdixmoore]

OK here is my problem
im on my 3rd grow i did things about the same all three times the plant dies before the buds mature
all three grows were 3 to 4 plants 2 different strains each grow
so im sure its me not the plants
i did have them on 24 hrs of light(just being to lazy to go get a timer)
i think they were well fed and watered
basically the buds never filled out and the tricomes never got milky
i did still smoke my sick buds it did have a bad taste and not quite the kick it should have
if anyone has any thoughts on this i sure could use the help the help

I'm assuming all autos? Which strains? In my opinion its your light cycle. But I will get guff for this statement but I do believe darkness is important. You did all 3 grows 24/0?

Hi @bufdixmoore I have to say this is first i have heard of this issue.. did you journal this? do you have any pictures? I need info to help you.. i also think cannabis needs a dark period..
not a lot but some dark time.. They tell me because 1 hour "before" my lamps go off they droop real bad Not all of them but some.. they look like there dying! when the lamps come back on the leaves are reaching again.. they go to sleep..

This happened to me awhile back with a whole room. They all hermied and I didnt realize it. But should have put 2&2 together as temps were through the roof

Well there's a lot of factors, I saw a while back you were having rust patch problems when you went with led did you find out if it was cal Mag? Also, did you decide on the 5 gallon buckets? That might be a big reason, those buckets don't drain well, and the soil becomes compacted, did you mix the soil with perlite? You definitely want your plants to get at least 4 hours of darkness to let the root zone build up, see, the lights trigger photosynthesis, which powers up the plant to grow up top, but your leaves are like solar panels, when the dark comes, the roots grow out more, you need good roots for big buds. In between watering, you want the pot to get nice and dry, I use the lift method, when it feels feather light, I water until runoff. Don't give up bro.

yes i did go with the buckets with perlite and the rust was calmag
the roots did seem very small for the plant size on a couple of the plants
im not going to give up im going to get smarter i hope
