Slow slow growth

So my first grow alone was all going fine until about 4 week into flower I noticed slow growth. Still unsure if its down to my patience but I have grown before with other people. I am well into over 10 weeks of flower now and I have been flushing last 2 weeks. was always a bit apprehensive I was too early but started and couldn't turn back. Basically there doesn't seem any stickiness and although bud looks good it just hasn't swelled at all. Anyone else ever had this
Sorry not much info as trying upload pics has done my head in too.
Critical kush from seed
Plant magic soil and nutes
Temps humidity and pH all been OK apart from when humidity was high for few weeks during the time I noticed no growth??

too cold may be your answer to slowed growth.
Yeah I'm thinking something stunted these. My question now is do I just chop and cut my losses and learn for my other grow I have going. Or is there anything I can do to make these grow again. I think they're a lost cause tbh

The way your plant looks dark green and you're saying you've been flushing for the past two weeks I'd say you had too much nitrogen through flower. Warm them up a bit and keep giving them water only. I guess there's still more than enough nutrients in your medium and if they start eating the big old foliage then you're on the right track. Although you shouldn't expect them to gain much more weight. I'd give them a week or two to do their thing and keep checking trichs to not get too much amber.

Thanks for the advice mate. I didn't think they would of had too muck nitrogen but I don't know much tbh. I used plant magic old timer bloom and pk 13/14 at a very light dose between week 5 and 8 as they only watered every 3 days

I'm not saying you fed too much N. I'm guessing your soil was a bit too rich and low temps prevented the plant from using the supplies in the soil up. I also thinks that pot wasn't packed with roots and there was still a great ammount of soil left unpopulated with roots. Those are all speculations based on my previous experience. I always wait till my pots are packed and plants drink properly so I can water almost daily worst case every other day.

OK mate yes your analysis makes good sense. Glad I got another one on the go shortly after this one so hopefully I will do better 2nd time round. These girls are lloking so much better 2 weeks into flower. Using biobizz soil on these and the roots were amazing when I reppoted

I'm using the cheapes peat based dirt there is out there and biobizz nutrients and works like a charm. Used to spend money on CompoSana which is great but not anymore. With CompoSana it happend there was too much slow release nutrients in there and the nitrogen supply was high enough for the whole veg and flower cycle. Reused that same soil without ammending it and there was still enough nitrogen in there to do the whole veg again.
