Flowering Plant Stuck in Week 3 Phase

[Aobert88]

Hello All,
I am new to the site and first time grower. So please be easy on me lol. Everything has been going well with the plant since day one which was mid December 2015. Healthy, and hitting all the milestones. BTW this is an indoor grow and I'm using a 125w CFL bulb with reflector. I started the 12 on, 12 off method beginning of February. The plant began to flower as expected, and got a little bigger. She looks great. But after searching the web and looking at posted pictures of plants in various flowering stages, I would say that she is currently comparable to a plant that is 3-3.5 weeks into flowering. And has been that way for about a week. Plenty of buds with a lot of long a dense white pistols. Maybe I'm just too eager to harvest her and being impatient and this is normal or maybe I'm missing something. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I actually started my current grow mid december and she started flowering feb 1st. Very similiar to you. I'm under a much much bigger light though. But anywayy, I'm sure you're just being impatient, time will tell. With that little light you should expect slower growth than others anyway(not sure who ur comparing too).

Well, first thing to check, in my opinion, is there any possibility that light is leaking in during the "lights-off" periods?
Any way to upload pictures, of your crop AND of your setup? That would help a hell of a lot. Keep growing no matter what!

Your just impatient and starting with the.. 12/12 method is a tough one all strains can react differently. Either way your plant will grow roots before it grows plant and continue to do so through most of its life , enjoy , read and then ... read some more.
