UNKNOWN STRAIN WEEK 4 FLOWERING, SEEMS SLOW
My 2 plants have both been flowering for 4 weeks now and compared to previous grows it seems slow, I've trimmed all growth from the bottom about 6" up the plant around 3 weeks ago could this have slowed growth by focusing all growth on repair? I will upload some close up pictures I took earlier today

I agree. Sativas have a longer flowering period which is why it looks like it's taking so long....

I'm using 2 45w bulbs 1 red 1 blue spectrum, could you roughly estimaate how long the rest of the flowering period will be, also will they keep growing upwards because they are getting tall! I've had to raise the lights quite a lot since putting them into flower they seem to have stretched.

Oh chiz!!! I don't have much experience with sativas so I don't know when they stop stretching. But I do know for a fact that you do not have enough light. You can either scrap'em now and start over with some indicas or keep them going and see what becomes of it. With 90 total watts though, I don't see your end result being that great.... Sativas have a flowering period of anywhere between 9-12 weeks and sometimes even longer....
How big is your space?

My space is roughly 5ft tall and about 3ft wide, i had limited space to start with so hopefully they dont do much more stretching. the plan was to put them into flower early to keep them small and bushy in my cupboard but they seem like they arent going to stop growing upwards! You say there isnt sufficient light, will it be enough to finish the plants?
(i know i wont get much yield but i couldnt use hps lighting in there because of heat issues) with these lights the temps are perfect and the plants seem pretty healthy but is it worth finishing under the same conditions if so how much yield to expect? id be pretty happy with 20g or so and for my next grow ill deffinately go for some indica strains with more lighting.
thanks for the help. i dont know what i'd do without this site :D

If you want to finish this grow is totally up to you. Because your lumen penetration is non existant to 90% of your plant, I don't think it's worth it, but that's just me....
Good luck to you....
