Flowering Progression

This is my first grow with white widow from seed. I switched 12-12 at about 15" and it started stretchin like crazy. A guy told me to start bending stems around a line to keep it shorter. I am at exactly 5 weeks from 12-12 switch but i didnt see my first pistil for a good 10 days after that. Does that mean Im more like 3 1/2 weeks? There are tons of bud sites with a lot of pistils but im not seein much swelling. I am alternating feeding with mollassis and guano. Ive got some pics up so any feedback would be appreciated.

Thats a good start on buds. relax they have lots of time to fatten up. Looks nice

Patience...looking nice and happy.

Yes looking good bro and they are way early in flower they fatten up and I would Lst her if u have height issues and it will show alot of your lower bud sites ALOT more light increasing yield most likely

Ok cool. So got a good 5 weeks yet im guessin? what u mean Lst? Ive been bending down to the side the upper stems till the lower ones caught up. Now theyre not stretching anymore thats why theres so many bud sites up at top. there are 2 stems that dont reach as high as the others. Lst?

They do look healthy, but I have been growing with guano for a while now, and it looks to me like you are not giving them enough nutrients. When I get into flowering I am usually using over twice the recommended amount as on the package, and I have never burned my plants using guano. I use sunleaves seabird guano through the whole grow, the all purpose(high nitrogen) with the seabird in veg. In flowering I keep using the seabird, but add the Jamaican(high Phosphorus) instead of the all purpose guano. I make a mixture of about 2 parts worm castings, and one part of each of the guano I am using. For plants in 5 gallon pots, I give them a half cup of this mixture about every 2 weeks until about week 5-6 of flowering. I also use compost teas during veg and flowering. Tea is: 5 gal r/o water 1 cup worm castings, 5 TBS molasses, 2-3 oz of liquid humic, 2-3 oz of liquid kelp extract. Sometimes I add a little guano to the tea, once during veg, once a day or two before light switch, and once during the first few weeks of flower, 1/2 cup of each guano per 5 gallon. The photos above are of my current Lavender Diesel grow. The plants are in the middle of week 5 in the pics above, and were grown in the method described above. They are already nice and fat, and I expect will pack on a good deal more heft before harvest. Give your plants a nice good dose of some high phosphorus guano and a nice batch of tea with kelp and humic and I bet they will start to pack on some weight. I can tell by the size of your fan leaves that you have been not been giving them enough nutrients through veg and also now in flowering. You can still burn a plant with guano, but it is much harder to do, and those girls could use a bit more juice.

low stress training....see how i got her tied down i just use some rope n tape it....and as it grows just pull it down and tape it off lol some people put those hook screws onto the pot and use those for the anchor so to speak....but all up to you bro you can start some early on next time once they bout 6-8 inches

your going to be so fucking happy they look beautiful and healthy, post some pics right before you finish...

nice I'll update pics for sure. Im definitely starting earlier on training next time. Ive got super silver haze and acapulco gold to try. Any opinions on either?

correction. thats himalayan gold

Those plants look healthy and happy.

How could someone say they look like they are underfed? Am I missing something?

Just let them do their thing.
