It's sour diesel in a 7 gal container. Water it when the top is dry well below the surface. Have 1 80 eat led grower and 2 90 watt cfls. Ocean forest for medium.

Man I hope so. I lower my led light closer to the top.

You need more light, IMO.
I'm under 700 watts LED, 10 gallon container with a mix of Ocean Forest and Happy Frog, 2 weeks in flowering with Blue Dream and have about the same size as you. How often do you feed?

Well I am wondering if your light strength is helping you out more than mine. Also I feed every other feeding with Alaska fish just for a nitrogen boost. Any help would be welcome.
During flowering you're gonna want to use a bloom fert. Readily available at Wal Mart, Lowes, etc...

Flipped to the 12/12 light schedule.
And how many days/weeks after that did you see the first preflowers?

Thanks for that suggestion about the bloom fert.
This is what I'm using for my flowering ferts.

It isn't the best out there but it seems to keep my plants healthy. I'm using the Fish shit for my veg nutes. No complaints about either except that fish stank

About a week was when I saw my first pistol. First bud devolved next week.

It's possible. I don't think you're gonna see fat buds with such low light intensity. Your leaves look healthy so you're doing well.
I feed with a mix of Dyna-Gro Folliage Pro and Pro-tekt, and a compost tea but that's every other week. I hardly use bloom boosters because its not needed. Proof:

Then you're at about 2-3 weeks. You're doing fine.

forget everything you heard and join the army ROLS in the organic section. If you are gonna grow in a 7 gallon container anyway. I grow with LEDs too, As long as you have 50 watts/ sq ft of canopy you should get great results.
I dont keep track of time to really know what a 4 week plant should look like, but when you grow organically in big pots (7 gallons + ) you should get great yields of the finest marijuana without having to worry whether your buds are filling as they should.
Every strain is different, I have strains that put on their weight in the last 2 weeks, some, early flower than just appear to not grow, simply harvest when your plants are ready, grow organically in big pots, and forget about the rest, harvest when your plants are ready, harvest when your plants are ready, forget about the rest, lol, clear??
