C99 in 3rd week of flower too small in coco coir?

Sorry, I posted this in the wrong place. But I think this is the place.

Hey all. Just looking for experienced growers or growers who have grown the strain Cinderella 99 from FemaleSeed.nu before. Posting pics below. She spent 2 months in veg. I was just spending my own sweet time pruning and training her.

Now she's in 3rd week of flower..... she didn't even begin budding till the 2nd. Do they look at all kinda small for you at week 3? 2nd grow, so no idea. She's on a 800 - 900 ppm bloom diet. Temps can be a little hot for her in my small tent but never exceeding 80 F and humidity never below 50%.

During her veg period, her leaves were so big and fat and now they all got skinny and veiny too, but I can't be sure if that's the LED lights playing my eyes or what. Need eyes!!

Hey growdc, I'm just starting week 2 of flower for a C99 so I'm interested to see how your grow goes. My C99 is from G13 labs and they say 7-8 weeks flower; are your seeds Humboldt? G13?

Buds will really do a lot of fattening up toward the end of flower. Your plant looks great, so just hold on and let her do her thing!!

Hey @alltatup!! I got mine from seed from www.FemaleSeeds.nu. Small seed company I feel, but great service. Quality of seeds, not sure. So, you say for now they look "normal"? for their stage?

Well, you're way ahead of me, but they look beautiful!! Lookin very sativa! On the FemaleSeeds website, it says 8 weeks flowering time, so you'll definitely see those buds develop and fatten up over the next 5-6 weeks.

I looked up that seed bank and it looks like they bred their own C99. It led me to do some research on the original Brothers Grimm Cinderella 99--all very interesting. I'd like to grow some of that later on.

You can see my little C99 in the back here: http://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum/growing-community/103403-alltatup-grow-4-blk-dom-ww-c99

Update on C99 from Female Seeds. Probably against the rules, but we will see how she responds. Major 3rd defoliation during flower. I think I need to set my time line 1 week back. She just finished 3rd week, but I think she needs to restart 3rd week. She's a slow poke.

Before Defoliation:

This morning, after defoliation:

Amount defoliated:

Now that the plant is more opened up, I can see that she's probably doing fine. This is the first time, albeit only my 2nd grow, that her cola's are tipping over. I think that's a good sign.

BTW, I managed to take some branches off with little buds on them. Can I clone those, or will it clone weird or won't clone at all?

Growdc, I'm in week 12 flower with a sativa, and I have read it's best to support leaning branches from above.

Thanks @alltatup!! Now that it's much lighter, do you see if doing well?

 

[alltatup]

Your buds are MAGNIFICENT!! Just be prepared for her to stretch and stretch!!!!!!!!! I know C99 is a hybrid, so maybe the stretch won't be as bad as my purp haze x malawi...

Just a little update. Looks like I really had nothing to worry about except my impatience....... Thanks again everyone for the encouragement!!!!
