If the room is light tight then its all good. They look healthy and might go 10 plus weaks.

What are you using for lights? The Sativa's sometimes have long flowering periods, but that plant seems to have something retarding it's flowering. Possibly too little light (but they aren't stretched to shit) or light leaks in your grow area.

Dude I have been thinking the same thing about my girl but i am to lazy to take pix im in estimated week 5 and buds are about 3 inchs long but I am L S T it so they are all over there is no true cola cause she was burned at a young age....Im under 400 w HPS the buds are dense as hell the strain is bubble gum Indica Dom. Its been grown outdoors in this area for about 8 yrs now...Anyways I think it has a long flowering period though i did read what he said about sativas....My hairs are changing also to half amber half immature white still.

I am using a 400w hps and have done throughout the whole grow, light is about 10-12 inches from the tops which is more than close enough. Temps Peak at 75/80 F during light period and drop to 55 F at night. (which is cold i know but the plant is used to it because these are the conditions it has been with the whole time)
And i am certain of no light leaks as i am using a proper Gardin Grow tent that zips up (4x4).
Hey dude, so how is my baby looking compared to yours? Indicas form faster as ive heard so you should be ahead...In good growwing conditions anyways.
Maybe you could finally get a couple of pictures to let me see?`I haven been able to check the trichs but all the hairs are still white and very few of them have turnede brown/red.
Please try get back to me on that, im suspecting it has to be something with the strain but if anyone has any more suggestion be kind enough to let me kno! Thanks.

Hopefully it's just going really slowly. Must be the slow moving Sativa thing. I have mine under 400w HPS and they don't look like that. It looks like light isn't penetrating to the bottom of the plant at all. It's really only hitting that main cola on the one on the right?
i to think my plant is way behind ive been flowering mine approx. 5 weeks to. my plant is like 3 feet tall. and im using cfl grow 1200 watts. but have only had 600 w. until today i put 600 on the bottom half to hlep with popcorns. where the other two have beeen focused on the main cola. however your plants buds seem to be more noticable than mine. but my friends have just told me to be patient with it and let it do its thing. its an unknown sativa strain to (bagseed) friends told me probably like another 5 weeks or better and it will fill out. so keep me posted. as will i for u. ill put some pics so u can see mine.

I grew bubblegum for a first time real grow, under a 600w hps. Buds were pretty thick at 5 weeks, week 6 and 7 is where it really got nasty. bubblegum is 50/50 so 8-9 sometimes 10 weeks to harvest. Mine was indica dominant too, finished in 8weeks with 20% amber trichs. I also have a pic of 2 in a hydro setup that are 3wks old, buds look close to where you're at. I wouldn't be worried though, just make sure you're giving it good attention haha
