6 weeks of flowering and no buds

[tundra]

its been 6 weeks and its like its growing slow, it might be lack of light, , but on some bud sites the hairs are turing brown and makes no sense cus its not even close to harvest. i just started giving it fox farm big bloom but i might of put to much,. or maybe it was gettin root rot from the plant that died,
im growing on a 10 gal bubbleponics.

i took some pics let me know what i can do,

Is this 6 weeks from seed? If so, then all is proceeding normally. just wait.

[tundra]

from seed veg for 8 weeks
and its been on flowering, for 37 days, it looks small for 6 weeks if you ask me,
months till harvest is 9-11 weeks, blue mystic
you think i should cut of fan leaves that are blockin the light and some bud sites?

on one of my plant i see brown hairs you know why that is? ad it dont even have the bud yet,

must be a slow bloomer.
i got em on cfl lights , they must not be gettin enuff light

It's not even 6 weeks of real flowering yet. it takes abotu two weeks for enough hormone for real bud production to begin, and those are looking fine. It's about time they began to swell, in fact.

Be patient. There's much more to come.

The brown hairs just happen. This is normal. It is not an indicator of ripeness.

[tundra]

So the brown hairs is normal, i thought maybe they getting too much heat , should i put the fans higher maybe cus air isnt blowing at the pistils, maybe thats why they growing slow, yea so some plants ever grow slow like this one?
is fox farm big bloom good nutes?

[khyberkitsune]

Just keep the airflow good and make sure you don't overfeed.

And yes, it's a good fertilizer.

CFL's will produce lighter more airy buds so you are correct... don't take out the fan leaves they are vital to the plants growing process... Your plants look healthy and that is the kind of smoke you want... I use FF Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom once a week,,, The stuff is great!!! Initially you will get some brown hairs,,, totally normal it doesn't mean anything...

[tundra]

You think that its blooming slow because the fans arnt blowing at the bud sites, its ate the bottom so its blowin at the main stem. so maybe if i face it so the fan is blowing at the pistils they will get stronger,.. nice thinkin there. thanks. i leave the fans on 24/7 but they are pc fans.
yea i got a sodium light but no ballast and my electric bill is high as it is.

what about if i put a fence around the plants, will that train the buds?
i was thinkin on doing that but im not sure how that works

yea this is my first gro, they were all females, all five, but 2 got left behind and the leaves block'd the light and they died, im not sure if they got root rot cus i left them in and they was dead, i pulled them out later when i thought about it, they roots were brown,
but the ones that are alive their roots arn not white how they was en veg. they are like a tan color now. well not sure what it is, cus theres no slimy brown stuff and thats what you get when its root rot.
ill take a pic later when the lights are on
oh yea
you say you got give them big bloom. like how much you give them?
like you know the cap of big bloom, well i would fill it and and add to each gallon, maybe thats too much huh?
but its says with big bloom you really cant over feed the plant the more the marrier well maybe you can. i put five gallons of water each time i change it, but sense i cant move the plant cus when i did the some started to bend down, so i use the water pump to pump the water out and i just add it again. but it might still have some nutes from last feeding..
get at me

200w CFL. That's actually not too bad.

I would put the fans blowing across the tops of the plants, this helps remove heat buildup from leaf tissues and keeps the cells cooler for more optimal growth rates.

And your CFLs should yield you some FROSTY buds if they're those color temps.
