are you feeding it a lot of nitrogen? too much N in flower will slow it down big timee..from looks of the clawing and skinny leaves i think that might be your problem...
 
yes the stretch just stopped less than a week ago 4 or 5 days ...i had a hell of a time tieing down and proping with bamboo to keep eveything even and than all of a sudden it stopped
 
no nitrogen at all just tiger bloom big bud a little bit of big bloom and some cal mag here and there to keep a magnesium deficiency in order

It looks like sativa to me. They look fine. Just a slow budder. Probably 10-12 weeks for flowering. Good luck.
 
yea figured it might be a little under developed its def a sativa so i wasnt to worried as i know they take longer it was a mix hybrid that was giving to me for free from hempdepot but it was really thriving so i decided to let it go
thanks for the replys guys i apreciate it

The buds do appear to be small for 5 weeks. Is it the beginning of the 5th or the end? Give a little more info so one could better understand what is going on.
Light(s) in use, temps, ferts used and how much,soil of hydro, you know the usual things. I think I do see a little overwatering.

edit: sorry for the late post, I wrote the post, went for a coffee, when I came back I thought I had already posted, but it didn't go through at first.

Ok man I stopped reading your post right there. Your plants are growing as good as can be expected with that kind of light penetration over your huge plant. If your able add a HPS and you will be good to grow.
 
yea i know floros will not give you as dense of nugs but ive grown plenty with them and have had fireeeeee smoke sometimes better than my 400hps...not as good of a yield but great smoke and have also got decent yields because im able to keep the light a few inches away from canopy i think i just vegged this one way to long and wasnt ready for the stretch from the sativa dominant plant i expect to get a couple zips at the least tho just never grew sativa dominant before so this is all new to me i agree the light may be slowing it down a bit but i think its more the characteristics and i stressed it a bit when rearanging some things i snaped to of the branches off that where unable to be saved that may have had something to do with it

if it were me..I would use both the floro and the 400W... you'd be getting a broader spectrum that way....
why wouldnt you have the 400W HPS above the canopy and supplement with the floros in a vertical fashion? for under the canopy... I'll bet you can get it to fill out nicely if you keep on truckin'
