I have a 3ft tall beautiful plant that is about 5weeks into flowereing. I have noticed that the buds have slowed down alot. The buds are ok in size, very dense, stickey, and the hairs are still white. Did it slowdown because it is done flowering? Pics coming soon.

You don't tell us the strain your growing. But no I dont think it's done flowering. You may be seeing less gains in length but you should see gains in girth and weight! Look for 50% of the hairs to turn red as an indication your getting near peak bloom. If you have magnification you can look for the little resin balls to start turning amber a sure sign you've reached peak bloom. Good Growing!

Do NOT go by hair color, check trichome color. Some strains will have the hairs go red weeks before harvest time. The quickest flowering plants usually take at least 8 weeks to flower, so you have some time to go before you harvest. Harvest now and those buds will be light and fluffy, leave the plant alone and those buds will fill out to their maximum the last few weeks.

I belive it is a indica strain. The resin balls are still clear, so I will continue down the path and see what happens.

Thanks for the info.
