These pictures are taken on day 14 of flowering, compare to many other 2 weeks flowering plants' pictures, I feel the buds are forming a bit slower than I expected. She's been vegged 2 months and now on a 12/12 circle under 250w hps, has not been topped as u can c only 1 main stem, pistils are grown out on almost every tip of the branches but just visible amount, are the buds forming too slow than it ought scheduled to be? and yet I've seen no signs of pistils on all the nodes of the main stem but the tip, will it stretch the buds all over the stem later?

Don't worry about it, its only 2 weeks into flower, alot of strains take that long if not more to eveen begin showing pistils. Its still probably got some stretching to do over the next 2 weeks.
Shes looking good, so keep us updated.

Maybe shes just a slow to flower strain.
Im grown a mexi bagseed that was in 12/12 for 4 weeks before it started to put on weight.
Looked just like your lady for 4-5 weeks, lol

Plus I always feel like they should have bigger buds, but by day 60 im alot more pleased.

ye... my frist grow did not expect it became so big and was planning to flower it when she reaches 1ft, but I've left for a long time so.... I bought some 4 gallon buckets for next grow though. but right now I'll just leave it be cus I don't wanna risk a transfer which might debilitates her for a week or even longer. hope this O'neal in size 8 shoe still scores....

I also grow in small pots but am available 100% of the time to manage their care and feeding which becomes even more important as the plant fill the pot with roots. That being said, I just transplanted a flowering lemon skunk auto into a larger pot, fed it well and she's showing her pleasure.....
Having grown bonzais for years and years, small pots are limiting in lots of ways but are do-able if tended properly........

So do u think I should transplant her now? How long do u think it will debilitate her? When I transplanted her from a party cup to this pot, it limped her for 5 days till the leaves were spread up again.

I think I might go ahead and transplant her if it was mine. I have a NL in a gallon pot and it's 20" now right at harvest and it's rootbound as hell. The soil is like a brick and needs watering every 2 days. One gallon per foot vertical growth is what I hear and that seems about right to me. Also, this plant flowered slow, so I know exactly how you feel. It didn't put on much until about the 4 week mark, so I thought it would take 9 or ten weeks to finish, but then the buds just exploded. Today makes the end of week seven flowering and It's potent enough that I could harvest it right now. Just have some faith and try to follow the basic rules of good growing. Good luck!

give it some flowering nutes...what are you using? i like FFOF beastie bloomz and chaching...the soluble line up is great....maybe your ph has locked out some nutes and growth is slowing down?

She's still on Jack's professional 20-20-20 general purpose, last time someone who seemed pretty pro told me not to feed it flowering nutes till half way done cus it's gonna cost the leaves turn yellow very fast, so I'm planning to feed flowering nutes maybe after week 3. and I don't have Ph and humidity meters so I couldn't tell... but I've been dripping several white vinegar drops to the nutes solution every once in a while.

Hey folks here I am, continuing the thread with the flowering week 3 pics, u might find the quality of these pics is kinda low cus they were taken by my cellphone but as long as we can c it should be ok. A week has past and still the buds are not thicken at all, compare to those corn-like shaped same stage pics I searched online, I'm really disappointed thinking maybe wait for another week or 2, if it's gonna be still looking like this studed but bloomed all over, I will give up on it.
