give it some time. some cultivars don't really plump up until the last week or so. It also could just not be a high yielding plant idk I have never grown green crack. Looks like youre doing a good job though, keep it up

Some cultivars take longer to swell up. I think Green Crack is one of those which take a little longer.

Just read this about green crack,

Needs heavy phosphorus for flowering or the below may happen. It even stated that this strain specifically needs extra phosphorus even during the stretch.

Signs of to little phosphorus include slow growth and darkening leaf colors. Eventually, the Green Crack plant’s leaves will curve towards the plant and offer a brown, almost tan color. Failure to add enough P during flowering will reduce the yield.

It's only an eight week strain so it should start soon I would think.

Cheers guys i think i did overdo it a lil bit on the N during flower i have been giving her some pk boost hope that helps...when is the best time to use overdrive as the bottle says to use in the last 2 weeks of flower but the last 2 weeks is ment to be for flushing..any tips would be appreciated.

When it says the last 2 weeks it means the last 2 weeks that your adding nutrients, in on week 7 of 9 week flowering plants and I start overdrive on week 6 then flush on week 8 (I only flush for week as in hydro) I would definitely say use it IMO it makes a difference

Hey @shawnery wanna tell him what I would tell him the problemis? I'm on my phone and don't want to type out the whole obvious explanation. (Hint: it has not been flowering for 5 weeks)

Your plant is fine it does not need more nutrients or any boosters! It is happy and healthy just keep feeding it normally. Don't worry about flushing or anything else for another 5-6 weeks. Then do more reading to decide if you really think it's a good idea( most long term growers I've met stopped flushing after they learn how to dry properly and they did side by side tests).

I feed till the day I harvest because the plants absolutely put on lots of weight the last 2 weeks of life and I don't like to starve my plants when they are trying to work hard. The buds stop growing bigger near the end of life and then the calyxs swell and get heavier. I've watched branches bend over a couple days as the buds got heavier the last week before I cut.

It is a little "thin" for 5 weeks. i would say it is because, like the other guy said, the plant is not getting what it needs at the right time in abundance.

Or the most part Clones are typically very similar to the parent but they are still individuals.

If you grow them just like the parent, they will turn out very similar. If you train them differently or make nutrient or lighting changes then the plants will likely reflect that and turn out a little different from the mom.
