First time growing

Not sure if my plants have just gone to a crawl or what. Trichs haven't changed much which i thought they would have been starting to by now. The bluedream hasn't fastened up much. Only the one plant looks like it has much substance to it as far as i can tell. I've tried a few different things nutrient wise about a week apart each time and no real change. The one plant got some yellowing leaves a little back after a ph issue i had but I'm not really sure what's happening. Just trying to finish this grow out and get into my bigger space that's almost done. But also hoping I'm not doing anything really wrong right now that'll carry over into the next grow.

I'm growing a Blue Dream right now and it's a strange beast. It's so sativa dominant it's flowering doesn't match anything I've grown before, and the leaves are so long and so narrow. I'm on day 30 or so and the buds are definitely thin/airy and behind the other plants. I expect it to go much longer than the rest. I expect they will fatten later on but it's new to me so I'm not sure. I'd say hang on and wait for it. What day into flowering are you at?
On the pale leaves, not sure but I now have a list of things that seem to cause all my problems, in order of most likely:
1. pH
2. Too much light
3. Pots too wet (Coco with not enough perlite right now.)
Every time I see something that doesn't look right, it's one of the above.
Of course your doing dwc so your issues are pretty different than my coco. I should add that I too have found that during veg the pH wants to rise, and during flowering it wants to drop. Likely due to the shift to more phosphorus and potassium in the nute mix and the plants pulling more of that out. Potassium seems to be a big factor for my current grow.
My Blue Dream is also having more yellowing leaves at the bottom of the canopy compared to the rest of my plants so your experiences seem to match mine.
I'll be following your Blue Dream with interest!

Well sadly i had a scare at the end of last week with the plants starting to hermie. Pulled 3 branches that had the little bananas forming and started to flush. Trichs looked like there was a decent amount of ambering so luckily it happened at the end. None of the blue dream really got super thick but my conditions weren't exactly ideal. I let everything get way too crowded and didn't defoliate much at all before switching to flowering. I can see that there's 1 or 2 more affected branches currently and going to probably harvest Wednesday. Next grow will be in a much larger room i built and going to use the knowledge of this grow to hopefully not repeat the same mistakes again. But just by looking at them I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of smoke to hold us over until my next harvest!
Every grow is such a learning experience. Glad to hear the plants only turned hermaphroditic at the end. A great save. If it gives you any consolation, my Blue Dream seems to defy fattening up and it started foxtailing and I've been working to fix that. I still have 40+ days to go with it I think so there is still time to see how it develops, but I think your experience with it isn't wildly out of line.
Happy smoking and good luck on the next grow room!

Chopped the plants this weekend and trimmed and hung them. First time I've ever tried trimming so hopefully i did it right, i kinda erred on the side if taking off as much leaf mass as i could find. Never really got big colas out of the blue dream, got a couple nice ones out of the black Russian though. There fiance who will be consuming most of it is already in love with the ones i cut and dried early before even flushing. Waiting for the dry to actually weigh anything. Although it probably wasnt the ideal grow, it looks like we have plant to last us until the next harvest!

Ended up with 4.6 ounces of blue dream, and 2.5 of black Russian. Kind of the opposite outcome i was expecting. But the multiple smaller tops from there blue dream really outdid the fewer but bigger tops on the black Russian. Now time to take what i learned there and apply it to the new grow. Trying to finish up a few things on the new room while trying to keep some clones alive in the process.
