Yep that's perfectly normal. Plants do that at the beginning of flowering. When did you switch it to a 12/12 cycle?

How far along is the plant, any pics of it. Like it was said some plants are just like that, usually as they continue to flower, they will start to bulk up.

5-6 weeks you should have more than pistils coming in, is it sativa? What are you feeding it

I reckon they're just developing slowly. That does look a little underdeveloped for 5/6 weeks - but they look good!!! I have some 3 week flower 'Sugar Punch' that look very similar. I have read that LED's can take a little longer. Maybe if you used to grow with HID, the different light source may have produced the difference you have observed (and that lead to you posting this thread).

I would use a CFL compact florescent bulb. They're cheap and and don't raise your power bill like a high intensity discharge bulb.

38 watts on the leds and if i was using the halogen bulb it's 40 watts do you think bumpping up the food could help or would that just burn the plant
thanks every one for your so far i am also using home made co2 from yeast and suger

As Anurism said, grab some CFL's. They're cheap and easy on the power. I don't think you're plants are getting enough light which is why they're taking a while to flower, 1 125w CFL would make a lot of difference, basically leaving 2 light bulbs on in your house..

I would keep the food as it is, most of the time it's because of overfeeding not under. If it's still slow after the 125W CFL installed try bumping up the feed.

The downward curved/cupping of leaves indicates it might have had too much nitrogen.

I haven't gave it any nitro the only source of nitro would be the flower nutes and the N.P.K is 2-4-7 i did give it a lot in veg tho the fan leaves where almost a dark blackish green like cabbage. I was only giving water a week or two before flower.

So I agree it looks like it could use more light, and that CFLs are a cheap way to get it. I run a CFL fixture I made for about 25 bucks (plus bulbs) that puts out a true 200w in a nice 2x3 area. Pics are in my journal first couple pages.

I also agree about the N and I'd prolly do a flush on her to clean her out. Then start feeding again.

Also when did she actually start to show those flowers? That is when you want to start counting the flower time from. If she has been in 12/12 for 5 weeks, but only has been mature and beginning to flower 2 weeks ago(which is what it looks like to me) then I would count from when she showed off her lady parts. This is commonly over looked, and I believe it often leads to people thinking there plants should be done earlier then they will be done.
