5 weeks into flowering no buds just hairs

[pya]

I planted freebe randoms from nirvana mostly sativas they in their 9th week and 5th week of flowering and there's only hairs no bud buildup. Is this normal I have 2 led lights running and I have no leakage during the night mode

I'm a new guy but the first post is going to be people asking youepr entire set up. Soil or hydro, what nutes, how far away are lights. What strain. All that stuff before they can help out. Pics would be good too.

Here u go

Looks like you had your lights too far away or not enough lights. I'm not familiar with leds so I can't tell you much about them. But that might have something to with the slow flower.

Eye ballin: Water, light to high and too hot.
Medium issues: Unknown, assume yes.

Water is fine the beneath the surface the soil is moist. I check eveeryday, I though ur not suppose to water if the soil is knuckle wet

Some sativa take a long time to ripen, but by wk5 they should be a little farther along than that

I water when the plants tell me too, could be once a week could be every 20 hrs. But you have a good rule of thumb.

No watering is fine top just dry but knuckle wet

Some plants take longer than others, if it's female give them time and it will start. Mine is entering the 6th week of flower and just now forming pom poms.

pya when you are new to watering plants you should pick the planter up to see if it is light. It takes a lot of practice to be able to feel a little bit of moisture with your fingers. What is your temp and humidity pya?

Prob because its a sativa...they take longer to mature then your short fat indicas. Give it time....and move your lights closer...they are super stretchy.

Welcome to growing Sativa's some take as long as 20 weeks to finish, and they have multiple harvest windows. It's fun

you should of done a bit more homework on those freebies if you'd of known they were sativas and going to get tall and take a while to flower you prob wouldn't of popped em your tent looks slightly small also and I'm assuming those LED's are the cheap Chinese ones they are so shit it's unreal they run hot are inefficient and don't even draw half the power they say you should of gone CFL deffinetly cheaper to run and you could of got them rite in close to minimise strech going in close with them cheap panels will almost certainly bleach or burn your leaves I've done it myself.

Same boat here im in week 5 from. Light switch (flipped to 12/12 when
my clones rooted) and I'm just starting to see a little Bud forming. I'm running serious seeds Bubblegum and it's seems to be pretty sativa dominant. But I cut my last girls early so patience will be the name of the game this time I'm planning on 9-10 weeks although I was told it is a 60-65 day strain.

I had a cheap 90w LED off EBay and it turned out to be garbage. I have been slowly learning especially with LED you get what you pay for. Luckily I'm still able to use it on my mother's with two CFLs mixed in. Good luck on the grow. *cheers*
