Buds are not growing

I am in my eighth week of flower growing indoors and my buds have stopped growing and they aren't even full nor at half of where they should be after all this time. The plants look healthy. They are tall. Is this just a bad clone or should I persevere? The tops are all spindly and they are not budding whereas the other part of the plant is growing well. Can anybody help as I don't know I should just stop growing and count my losses and try again? I flush regularly, using A and B flower seem to be doing everything as last time but don't know what happened? Can anybody help? I had spider mite a week ago but bombed it and killed it off.IMG_2864[1].jpgIMG_2865[1].jpgIMG_2864[1].jpgIMG_2865[1].jpgIMG_2864[1].jpgIMG_2865[1].jpgIMG_2864[1].jpgIMG_2865[1].jpgIMG_2864[1].jpgIMG_2865[1].jpgIMG_2864[1].jpgIMG_2864[1].jpgIMG_2864[1].jpgIMG_2865[1].jpg

I'll give you a Rep for the first time I have seen a 1st time poster on this site post pictures with their question.
But, we need more info...Such as Strain etc.

Thanks for the reply ... I don't know what strain it is as I bought them as clones. But seriously it's the eighth week and nothing has happened. Do I pull this down as it's costing a fortune or do I persevere? :)

To Tomahawk ... nutrients A and B flower (GT coco bloom), 12/12 lights. I have also added max flower 200ml and potash 400ml. It is just not flowering and it's really spindly up top. Do you want more photos will that help? Just don't know whether it's worth waiting because by eight weeks there should be some solid buds right?

Hi have always grown with these lights and never a problem in the past. I think it's the strain. The tops are spindly and there is some flowering here and there but by eight weeks they should be fuller. It's just not happening.

i actually do have slightly light leakage but the light leakage is no brighter than the moon would give off at night. so having pitch blackness where you can't even see the hand in front of your face isn't needed. Ive grown successfully 3 plants now. same leakage no problems about 3 ounces a plant under CFL's

There's no leakage .. I've grown many times and it's all been great .. so it's definitely the strain. If I can nail what the problem is then I can either wait and see what happens or pull it down. I've never experienced this before. :)

I do know that a K deficiency will greatly retard bud growth and will be greatly diminished.

What is your ph?

Did you say you flush regularly? There is no reason to be doing that other then towards the end and never fully flush either just slowly decrease your nutes.

I'm gonna go with it's a deficiency as I see purple stems and otherwise looks healthy. Flushing your plant regularly does nothing for them other then starving them and sending them into shock.

I'm sure you have some lock out of K due to the flushing.

Feed with a complete NPK and see what happens.

Ill bet you started counting weeks too soon on top of the fact its a Sativa.Some take 16 weeks.....If you are patient you prob get an awesome plant.Looks like 6-7 weeks yet to go

Hi there thanks so much for all your help! I turned the plants on the 13th of November to 12/12. So it is sativa yes? wow .. that could be the problem. So no flushing either? Okay I'll stop doing that. I may try posting some other pics too. Is it okay to put the other nutrients in I mentioned earlier the pot ash and the other one with my a and b bloom? I hope I"m not putting too many nutrients in. I haven't checked PH levels and rarely do. So do I buy some NPK or just continue with the other nutrients I mentioned?
