Cheese Autoflower - Plentiful Bud but Very Small

[Cloverfield]

Hello Everyone,

This Royal Cheese Autoflower is about 8 weeks old and, by the look of the trichomes, is ready to harvest any day now. The final buds are painfully small although with a good covering of trichomes. I'm wondering why this happened and why I lost almost all the fan leaves from the plant after about 6 weeks? The plant started to go into flower very quickly - after about 3 weeks. The buds also appeared very quickly but never grew beyond their current small, airy state.

Just a bad phenotype?

Thanks,

CF

Hi Cloverfield, it looks to me like a case of poor lighting, and looking into the LED you're using..it's only drawing 100w from the wall, which would explain the really poor bud development.

I would look to invest in some decent lighting..

What are the dimensions of your tent?

8 weeks old is barely 5 weeks of flower in an auto. Still looks underdeveloped and as mentioned it could be down to lights.
