Hello all, got a question likely goin to sound like a rookie question just haven't encountered this before.

So got a plant. Couple weeks into flower,been using AN nutes and additives properly and on a scheduled regimen. Personal mix of coco , perlite, and a little something something.Humidity stays about 47-(54/60)depending if I watered recently or not. Lights in gold zone . Point of all this is plant is healthy,great trich production,I mean great. The pistils (white hairs) even have trichomes growing on them. Talking trichomes on trichomes on trichomes but the bud isn't gaining any weight or elongating or building more nodes or anything just trichome production.

Never have seen this before and I've used AN nutes before with a single plant up to 29 of them and the technoflora line on a barn with a 150 plants and there was always a lull in growth before the weight gain just never this long and definitely not with this many trichs.

Not complaining just curious.
Any suggestions or observations welcome

They look very nice. If they are around 4 or 5 weeks Into flower I wouldn't worry too much...some strains pack on weight real quick. I'll post a few pics here of my latest grow.

Week four of flower (April 27) lots of pistils (all white) frost accelerating. Didn't change much for a while before this.

They will often stagnate for a week or two, and over a few days suddenly stack on size.

Yep, spot on. Didn't test the medium pH for a while and it drifted to 5 flat lol. Slacked on my feeding schedule for a few weeks as things were going well and boom...acidity galore. Just a few feeds with limited runoff and it made a big difference. Usually I'd move it outside and run through enough to get 20-30% runoff, but due to tieing it to shit like an amateur, I was only running off a tiny bit, and my TDS and PH pen had flat batteries lol. Went from 5.9 two weeks prior to 5.1. runoff was at 2700 as well. Was getting used to growing in pots for sure, and was also unaware the medium had 14-2-13 controlled release in it.

I'm used to growing outdoors, where I've never had feeding problems. Indoors is a whole new game with limited medium.

Do you mind me asking what strain it is? The frost looks superb, and seems very milky from the get go. Looked like a glue hybrid crossed mango haze a mate popped out last year. It was exquisite.

Id say a cross heavyier on sativa, indica buds are fatter looking, its pretty with the low ph colours though. I just had faulty ph pen, back to drops. Mine were getting 2.4 and 3.4 ph for their life. Till 2 days ago.

You should see her now lol. It's been through the wars, those leaves got worse and never bounced back, however new growth was better. Terrible canopy levelling as my training was sub par as well leading to bad maturity rates over the plant. The top colas were about 6" higher than the rest, mature and have been harvested a few days ago...the bottom is still stacking pistils. I removed the top colas a few days ago, got around 2 and a bit Oz, and still look to have a fair bit left on the plant, and a few weeks to go.

Definately an abused girl lol. Still yielded fire though, and the buds look great.

Beautiful girl bro . I must have too much nitro in mine cause for being around the same age my leaves are so much darker green than yours. Gonna have to look into that unless it's just a strain trait.
