I think you are okay!
Make sure you are feeding less nitrogen now that you are in flower and start your flower/bloom feeding schudule. Sometimes to much nitrogen at the beginning of flower can slow growth.
Also my plants took 4 weeks once I switched to 12/12 to even show hairs then another 2 weeks to actually start flowering. Patience is key!
Thanks.that helps just been freaking out don't want all the work for my first to be for nothing
Thanks it does gives a better understanding

only like 6 weeks. I topped my plants at like 3.5 weeks then put them into flower 2.5 weeks later. My plants were pretty small when I put them into flower and now their like 5ft and 6ft tall, it's crazy haha I was not exspeclting so much stretch. But I'm gonna have a lot of weed lol
Lol that's crazy I kept mine short cause of room space till I got my big tent all she's did is bush out wild! Just been hard to control!

Yeah mine kept growing like a tree even after I topped them, just kept growing straight up towards the light. Thank god im growing in a decent size shed.
I think my stretch happend cause my plants were too far from the light like my whole grow and when I switched the 12/12 I kept feeding my plants grow big every feed and that's for veg. That's where I think I messed up too.
Well having that much space comes in hand! I just hope in the next two weeks I see more hairs and bud sites

I don't know of this will help but I've read that if growing with leds you want a temp of at least 80 degrees to aid in photosynthesis . No uv ray when using led only. Obviously your plants are doing fine. I see pistils by week 2 or 3 at the latest. So yours might just be slightly slow growing.

Not the greatest pics but it kind of looks sulfur/iron def? What exactly do you feed and is your water from tap?
No not from tap ro water 2ml flora grow 2ml micro 5ml bloom and 10ml liquid kool bloom from general hydroponic ph to 6.5

That starting process with pistols is called pre flower you have a while yet before those clusters of pistols start forming, plus she will stretch so expect her to get bigger.
