the 1st 2 weeks or so of 12/12 is still the "stretch" phase. plants don"t usually "crown off" and start full scale bloom for 1 1/2 -2 weeks, strain dependent. be patient, the buds will get bigger over the next 7 weeks or more depending on what you're growing. growing mj is not a hobby for those in a hurry, be patient and all of you labors will pay off! good luck!
