Normal?

[Azmodan50]

Are these bud formations normal? I see a lot of pictures of buds the length of the stem. Mine seem to be smaller with a lot of space in between.

Yes this I would consider normal as long as they keep plumping up. Almost looks like some stuff I have grown myself

Howdy Azmodan50, those look normal, maybe a little 'stretchy'. They look like they are a little farther from the lights, but they do look good, just needs some time to fatten up.

There are a lot of variables to consider. They look fine. What is the black stringlike feature wrapping around the stem?

It’s holding the branches up.

Looks Sativa-esque to me, that's all...

Not enough or not the right light will make the “stretch” between the internodal spacing. Also I can tell you are over feeding your plants. IMHO ✌️

Your buds are perfectly normal, just down to their environment and what you do to them how they turn out. A full cola is just lots of nugs grouped together.

There are also chemovars that grow like that: Dr. Grinspoon, for example.
