Hey all, thank you in advance for any potential assistance. I am currently running a few different strains under a 400w hps. Air conditioned environment with fresh air daily. I have half in a soiless media Promix #1 with added perlite. And the other half in a mixture of promix#1 and a light potting soil They are all roughly 6-7 weeks since preflower and the buds have seem to be on a stand still...i am feeding them every 1-2 days ph water of 6.2 when buckets become light but alternating between watering and feeding. I feed them the recommended dose which burns them a small bit so i kno im feeding enough but i just cant seem to get these ladies to swell up. Granted that i kno sativa strains flower longer i expected aftee my silver haze run a bit more by now....im feeding her a line of epsoma which has a npk value of 1-2-2....i recently switched up to a epsoma bloom booster which has a npk value of 1-3-1 and still have yet to see much bud girth....am i missing something here or am i just being impatient?

They look nice and healthy but if you're not sure about nutrient solution I'd pick some inexpensive A&B Bloom solution to get you started.
I'd also recommend buying or finding a download for Teaming with Microbes.
Very informative and a good read

They look really healthy, you just got a medium to low yielding plant, I wouldn't change what you are doing looks like you are doing a fine job, sometimes it just doesn't yield like you want it to, next time use a larger container and run a genetic that grows larger flowers.

Strong sativa genetics sometimes use other signals to start flowering along with the 12/12 light of course, but dryer soil, change of N-P-K ratios, root boundness all can help things along.

Next time start with the lights at 11 on/13 off and things will progress more quickly.....
