I have 3 FAST femonized white widow plants going since Sept 1st. Started 12/12 around 4 weeks ago. They really started taking off with white hairs but hasnt really grown taller or contined with buding. Should i be worried? I see no male parts so i dont think they have become hemaphrodite. I have a small grow tent (4x2) and they have outgrown that so i recently set them up outside of the tent in a pitch black room using the same grow light. I have enclosed a piture. This is my first grow.

I dont think it is a light issue. The plant does not look like it re-vegged. But better pics would help. Hard to tell from 1 pic. Take some close ups just before or just after the lights on/off. Cant see shit with that light on.

Most likely you just need to chill out. Weeks 1-2 are stretch. 2-4 are hairs. 4-6 buds form. 6-8 ripen and fatten. The plant stops growing after week 2 flower and only the buds and leaves will grow after. only started 12/12 4 weeks ago. So this is only your 3rd week flower. Start counting the weeks after you see flowers not when you flip.

Roll one up and smoke it...relax it looks fine.

^ probably this, I couldn't really see from that picture either Op, but when plants aren't budding or seem slow usually check for light leaks first and next check your timers. I didn't see any revegging either, how powerful is your light? Best to take pictures in natural light, not purple

I have had two times the power went out messing up my timer. Then it could have went less than twelve and that was during me seeing initial hairs. . Room is attic and only recently i have taken them out of my tent so it shouldnt have seen light besides with the power issue. Here is my setup. I will get more pics after work.

if it was re-vegging you would know. The plant would be growing weird if that was the case. I do not know what effect the power outage would have. I have no experience with messed up photo periods. Moving the plant would stress it, so most likely she is just stressed out taking a break to get things back in order.

FORCE IT ...

Meaning drop cycle to 10/14 ... if there is no appreciable change say after 10 days or so .
Then consider them stalled. Dropping light cycle often forces the plant to think its late winter and it NEEDS to finish.

So drop it to 4 hours of light a day for 10 days?

yeah...those pics help a lot. I see re-veg in those pics. Would need another opinion but those leaves coming from the flower are the weird leaves i am talking about. The sugar leaves are turning into fan leaves.

what kind of timer do you use? the power going out would def fuck my shit up with the timer i use.

I use a digital timer I picked up at Ace Hardware, it has an internal battery so the time is always correct on it, it won't keep the light on like an UPS, but I don't have to reset it.

Thanks. Can anyone else also 2nd the reveg before I switch back to veg state lighting to start over? I am guessing that is the only solution for reveg.

Are you in attic ?

If you are then some stray indirect light leak must be an issue. I never seen tent done sideways , that looks like a moisture trap for sure.

I would pull tent ... maybe get a board painted white at least to sit plants on.
I would think dust , insulation particles would stick to buds like glue.

Is there any reason you couldn’t do a conventional closet grow or something.?

Ok, i would wait for another opinion but you may have to chop some of that off

Correct. Unfortunately I was told three would fit but it is very tight with 3. Attic now is my only choice till i build my spot in the garage next summer. I thought maybe the reflective part of the tent could still be used hence the canoe look. I am thinking now it has no value since the light really cant hit the reflective naterial with leaves. Maybe i can plastic off the area to keep the insulation/dust away. I can definetly paint wood or cardboard instead of the canoe. Again should I switch back to 18/4 on light? If so do i let the existing hairs die off before I go back to 12/12?
