hey rbt,
just started checking out your grow. haven't seen one with the Flare yet.
did you say you are like 8 or 9 weeks into flower?
if so, the buds look very underdeveloped. are you sure you don't have any type of light leaks? even a little led on a fan, power strip, etc?? maybe it's something to do with how old the seeds are?? have you been in there when the lights are off just to double check??
how far is the light from the tops of your plants? some of the guys with the 400 run it only 6 inches from the tops without burning. maybe you could lower it to help get the flowers as big as possible.
you could pick up a LED green headlamp that you can wear during the dark cycle if you do have to do something with your plants when lights are off.
i do like the ebb/flow setup. it's DIY, correct? i was almost set on ebb/flow and changed my mind to DWC years ago. it seems like it would be great once everythign is dialed in: set it and forget it almost which is not easy to do in hydro.
keep on growing!
