my plants seem to be producing lots of pistils but buds are not growing bigger.
Coco coir potting soil 50/50
Fox farm trio 3/4 dose twice week
Viparspectra vt300 100% bloom/veg
H2o daily with 3/4tsp molasses since bloom
Vegged about 8 wks.
Bloom on its fifth week.
Space is a modified fridge about 23 cubic feet.

also does any one have a clue as to this plant other than its most likely a pure sativa?

I thought I was just being too anxious....I've had a lot going on and even though I give it so much of my time (mainly just admiring it) I feel like I dont give it enough. Thanks for the response.
 
What strain is it? My jack herrer photo is doing the exact same thing....haven't even really gotten any stretch on it either since flipping the switch to 12\12 on April 21st.
 
Strain unknown. I was hoping by the end someone could closely i.d.. it....lol....as gbauto said patience. My luck its a 12 week flower. Its at 5 in the pic.
 
Oh yes, patience....wait till you get nice fat buds and your looking at the tricks every 3 hours asking yourself if it's done yet...lol
 
It is a sativa, and they are known to be slow growers, no one will be able to tell you what strain it is though.
You just got to have patience, and she will supply you with some killer smoke, in another month or two.
Good Luck and Welcome to GWE
 
Mogrow, you are welcome, and yes this is an awesome site. There is plenty of excellent growers on here. That's been growing a long time, plus you got nebula, if you still can't get an answer, I guarantee you Nebula knows. And will be glad to help.
 
Hey Mogrow, welcome to the forum!! We all feel that way, and I'm always blown away by what happens in the last few weeks of flower.
 
She looks beautiful to me. Did you count flowering time from the flip or start of the first pistils? Flowering countdown does not start until first pistils. I had 1 girl take a very long time to switch to flowering. And some strains do not stretch much at all.
 
Here i found one of mine with a slow start. She was flipped 2 days before yours.

I do not hold that against you. and im the same way and talking shit about veterans is bullshit as i have alot of friends who served and alot didnt come back mentally and psychically. and they are harsh but they are personal opinions i dont sugar coat. I have a catscan to check for lung cancer on the first so im kinda living things differently. So im sorry you are upset and i apologize i just didn't like the defensive post when mine had nothing to do with you. I will delete my replys.

Mogrow This is not the best way to get buds to fatten. You should apply fertilizer with every watering and probably dramatically increase watering (Fertigation) Frequency. I fertigate my plants in 50/50 Coco Perlite 4 times per day. I also put together a guide about growing in Coco that you will find in my signature. I discuss the theory and practice behind high frequency fertigation and the best ways to manage Coco to maximize yields. Check it out and I am happy to answer questions.
 
I initially misread and thought your 50/50 was coco/perlite. I see it is Coco/soil. I am curious about the soil and if there are any other amendments such as perlite. I can still offer you advice about fertigation, but you won't be able to follow the exact rec's in my guide.
 
When you're not seeing your buds fatten as much as you like, one of the best things you can do is add more light. Is it possible to add a second LED or even some CFLs in there? Here's a little more information about encouraging the plant to make as many trichomes as possible with its genes. Your plant looks really healthy, which is great at this week of the flowering stage, and all the pistils/hairs are still sticking straight out, which means buds have a lot more fattening to do before harvest time :)

There can also be huge differences between different strains and how they grow/how fast their buds fatten. These three plants were grown together in the same environment without any training from germination. Even though they were treated exactly the same, they are different heights and at different stages of development. Similar to height, you can have huge differences in bud development.

Example of 3 different strains grown together in the same setup without any training - look how different their heights are from each other!

Your buds are looking good so far, and still have many weeks to go in the flowering stage for this strain :)
