I am a new grower! I have 4 GG4 plants in flower but the buds are not big and fat like the pictures I see. I am using three full spectrum 40w 24" grow lights. Do I not have bright or strong enough lights?

I'm going to guess you're right. -
Light is as important a nutrient as any fertilizer-in fact it's probably the most important thing in an indoor grow.
Most of the plants I grow occupy a 2x2 footprint.
Using best quality diodes in your fixture, it'll need a minimum of 30-watts/sq ft of canopy to achieve adequate light intensity.
That's 120 watts/plant or 480 watts for a 4x4.WHAT???
5x5 grow space
900w of Vero's and F-strips
4-17gal totes self-made UC system.Comment

Welcome to GWE
Thats only 10 watts per plant, I have a single plant (Greasy Grapes) under a mars hydro tsw 2000 (~308 watts), it takes up the entire 3x3 foot print of the light. I agree with you you need more light.
I also agree that everything maters, pot size, whats in the pot, feeding, watering, temps, RH, everything!Comment

Yep it's the lights need more of them i've seen excellent all CFL grows but you need alot more.

Standard fare is 600w for a 4x4 tent. So 150w for a 2x2 area which is approx one plant space.There are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:
1) Water level (How much h2o is she drinking in 24hrs)
2) pH level (change over 24hrs)
3) ppm/EC level (How much food is she eating in 24hrs)Comment
