Flowering Stress and flowering time.

So here's my question. I have some White Widow plants in full bloom (Day 46). Some pics, you can see the issues from the top down shot...

Well they were exploding with growth and bud sites the first 4 weeks of flowering. The last two weeks have been really zero growth. The plants look pretty healthy, slight yellowing of the top leaves due to a slight Mag def (Coco).

Question is this. Assuming the mag def stressed the plants; how will it affect the flowering cycle. By this I mean assuming my plants are a 9 week flowering strain, and I stress them... are they still gonna finish in 9 weeks with just a less than perfect yield, or will it make the flowering period go longer?

Not really just asking for this plant specifically but in general. Do your plants bulk up always? I thought I read in Jorge Cervantes Bible that they grow quick at the start, then slow down, then swell and add a lot of weight the last 2-3 weeks, but I can't find it now.

Any advice would be appreciated.

all these red spots on the leaves show that you fed too much. Probably there was too much salts built up in the soil and locked the stomata of the roots

Just because a plant is supposed to finish after nine weeks doesn't mean it will. Your conditions play a major role in flowing time and it's not unusual for a plant to grow in spurts. You could have a week or two where nothing seems to be happening and then anther explosion of growth. Your pants look healthy and you should listen to them. Don't worry so much, throw your timeline out the window, and watch your pistils and your trichs . Your girl will let you know when she is ready. To answer your other question, yes they will bulk up towards the end of flowering.
