Not potent. Why?

[tito13]

Hi, grew these with Compact fluoro, 150 watt compact, my 2 plants were 4 feet tall, they looked great, but during vegie, only the nugs on top were big, these are it in the picture. But they dont smell potent, and my friend who smokes and is a pro, said they are C's or B's in quality. Now, Why did i get these results, Light? I dried them for two weeks, hanging them, but did not cured them or jared them. After i hanged them, i just put them away in a container. I think it was the light, too weak?

quality of seeds? I have grown great bud under CFL's IMO it takes longer to grow under CFL's. The light does not put out aa intencity to promote lower growth. Light don't reach the lower parts of the plants.

What strain it is, what color the trichs are, how long you flowered, the curing, the drying. All those things could be part of it and more.

Now for some strains a "B" is good Id say. All depends.

Among other things, you might have let them get over-ripe. I've done that before, and the pot has a buzz that feels like it might have been good if it had been picked a week or two earlier. Just my two cents.
