Nice set up.. When did you start counting your flower times? A lot of breeders say to start when you flip the lights. But i found it's more accurate if i start my time when they pop first hairs.

They look great, just not 5 wks in. Just keep doing what you've been doing, they'll let you know when they need something different.

What kind of light? They do look quite a bit less into flowering but very hIMG_20121122_225138.jpgealthy. This is a pic of some at 6 weeks after 12/12 flip under 1200 watts of hps.

im using a 240w blackstar led, i did think that they didnt have as much bud on them as maybe they should hence why i put the original thread up! this strain is blueberry x big bud, is it fair to say its best to start the flower count as from when the first hairs appear then as like some of you are saying this would put them at 3 weeks i think!
i only veged them for 2 weeks from when i put them in my grow room as i was still building it when they first sprouted, they was probly 2 weeks old when i put them in.
thanks for any feedback

it looks like you are a little behind kinda looks like week 3 to me, could be your light could be your room. They def. look good man dont be discouraged.

As others have said they look a bit behind but healthy. Don't get hung up on harvesting at a certain age. Be very patient. My guess is that more intense light would be helpful in the future if you can keep temps in control. They look good for a first go.

Like others have said it looks like 3-4 weeks in. I don't think there is anything wrong except they took a while before the flowering hormones started kicking in since you planted from seed. In the next few weeks you'll see some airy buds forming, in 5 more weeks you'll see some big huge buds that are starting to swell and in 7 or 8 more weeks you should be ready to harvest some massive cola's given the big bud ancestry to that strain.

Yes like Rodrigues said. If you flipped 2 week old seedlings that is why they look behind. Consider your girls about 2-3 weeks in flower and go from there.

SSSSHHHHHIIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!! Just gave the ladies a water change & put my carbon filter up, stupidly i put the filter up after i put the girls back in the room & dropped it on my double header!!! The consiquences of my stupidity were that i split the lovely little lady straight down the middle of the stem & crushed one of the branches which i had just bent over anyway experimenting with the super crop method, thinking that would be the perfect plant to try this method out as i would be able to see any genuin difference easier? I have taped her back together & fingers crossed she will be ok, has anybody else done anything silly like this & has everything turned out ok or have i just fucked my prized possesion? HELP!!

Relax i've split em a thousand times (mostly tieing them down, but ive dropped things on them as well) and i've never lost a single branch. You can fix it with almost anything like tape, bread bag ties, ect. If you have some clonex handy then apply a small amount in the open wound and it seems to heal faster. It also may not heal and make a "knot" at all, especially this late in flower. I've also had it stay split open many times, but both halves still live anyway. It is alot tougher plant than most think, so relax you'll be fine.

Lmfao I can't think of how many times I have pulled some funny stunt like that. First time my Boi saw the whole thing happen and in what felt like slow motion I hear him yell NOOOOOO you murder lmfao!!! Omg one of the funniest moments of my life but I was heart broken at the same time. Today those very same abused little girls are 11 days into flower and it just grew a knot as if I super cropped it and off she went. Nothing some black electrical tape couldn't fix lol. I wouldn't recommend doing it but if it happens what can you do. I always take them out now whenever I play in their area :).

Hey bro! they look healthy but DAMN thats some internode spacing!!! get the light a lot closer, your plant is stretching far more then she should.

Looks like the Veg. Blackstar. You want the "for flower" Blackstar it's more pink to the eye. That would slow down the budding process. :peace:
