First time grow - unknown strain

hi

Im a first timer and felt the need to post some pics, Im a little worried about the results so far...

Im about 5-1/2 weeks into flower, I guestimate I have around 3 weeks[ish] left of my grow. My problem is that the buds dont seem to be getting any denser?

Im using coco A/B and just started to use the PK13/14 also by canna. I have intermitently used blackstrap too. Light cycle is 12/12 with two lights overhead, around 1 foot above the plants. I have seven on the go in a room about 3ftX8ftX6ft high

Can anyone sort me a few tips/pointers, or just general feedback on what they see/think.

thanks guys

Well, first off, Im not sure what the problem is.... Your girls look GREAT! You need to take a deep breath and relax.... As far as density, it really depends on the strain, and whether its is a Sativa or Indica... You can give it nutes to dense up the buds, but that only will do so much.... If your at week 5-6, Id say you have another 5 to go by the looks of it... Theres NO WAY those girls will be ready in 3 weeks... The white hairs are protruding, and she is growing.... I bet those buds will swell up nicely over the next 3 weeks, and then get more dense toward the end.... Just let them go.... You need to get a 30X Magnifier, or jewelers loup and look at the trichomes to judge when its ready

Really? Cheers dude! I guess I'm just being too impatient...

I want them cut and hanging like yesterday!

I'm glad that it's going well too, thanks for the advice man, appreciated.

Another 5 weeks though......;(

Id like to give you a differen answer, as I had the same issue on my 1st grow... If it was a bag seed, or just a seed you aquired... but dont know the genetics.... Its more than likely a 10 week plant... Most girls are 10 weeks... There are alot of 8 weekers out there on the market - but they are pricey... Like I had a Larry OG from Cali Connection Seeds.... she took 5 weeks to veg, and exactly 8 weeks flower, and a week of flush... but those beans are like $100 for 6! Then again, its fire... I just picked up some "White Berry" because I heard it is a 50-55 day flowering plant... Im impatient as all hell.... but you learn as you go.. My first lady I grew took 13 friggin weeks to fully mature.... but I ended up with an elbow off of her.... You wait and be patient, and it will pay off... Keep us updated

Aww shuxx, thanks guys

They were 'donated' by a friend, they weren't from seed, I got them as little sprouters, about 3-4 inch high. I networked a little and have haggled 5 White Russians from another associate for my next project, theyll be ready in just under 2 weeks. As I read it, WR is a perfect strain for producing nice big fat colas, and is fairly quick in the veg to cure stakes. I think my room is too tight for 7 at once, I think five will be just right, get light all up in that mug!!

I will post more as it progresses, thanks for the interest.

Btw, I'm a Limey x

UPDATE***

I checked on them today and two of my Girlies look like the have entered Veg again? They have shot up in the past 3-4 days (since I took the pics posted in here) and where the tops were nice and sticky with loads of lovely White strands, a mass of baby leaves have started to take their place.

Nothing has changed in my process!? Please tell me they haven't turned Hermie
