Newbie stress

Don't know what else to do here !!i started my fifth week of flower yesterday the 11th..so far I'm disappointed with my lack of progress ..my chemdog from gh has not started any significant swellin of the calyxes mostly pistils as u can see in the pic .. There is minimal resin production on leaves and all I seem to do is look at all other results from other growers at this stage..it's embarrassing..I'm looking at about 10 freaken weeks of flower the way this is going ..I've been using advanced nutes at full strength in 50/50 fox farm oceanforest/light warrior...no signs of deficiencies or over fertilizing ..I lollipopped them during 3rd week of flower to help Growth..I hav a soil ph meter in my pot that reads 7.0ph ..but when I chek with my Hannah meter,which I calibrate every month or so..I get 5.7..to raise the ph I've been watering and feeding nutes at 7.0 ph..some growers say runoff isn't too accurate some say it is...since changing ph to 7.0 my runoff went up yesterday to 5.9..lower leave do turn yellow but I figured this is normal because of the business of my plant..I supper cropped and trained her for bushier growth during veg....any comments or suggestion on where I'm at or what I can do help speed up growth?my nutes for yesterday were sensi bloom a and b,kushie kush, b-52, bud candy..here are more pics ..I hav 2 threads up from week. 3 and 4 of flower

There's no picture.

Let me try it again I'm posting through my phone and its slow as hell..

Let me try to post these damn pics now

Finally !!i did it

it looks fine to me m8... never go off of when a breeder says they will be finished.. ime, they will finish when they finish and not a day sooner.

what kind of lights are you using btw?

View attachment 2440081Alright now someone please respond to this thread..should I just be patient with it ?am I on point with flowering time?about ten weeks?please someone help me..like you see no signs of deficiencies or nuts burn..

what is the NPK of what you are feeding?

they're a lil small for five weeks, i agree, but they should come around so long as they're healthy and still growing...

again, what sort of lighting are you using?

I'm using a 600 watt hps..it's one plant that I supper cropped and trained ..am I getting greedy eight the amount of bud sites..I've heard one you top a plant, which I did like 3 times during veg, that the buds grow smaller more like popcorn instead of big main colas..any truth to that?

not really, in fact, the opposite can be true, depending on where you topped it.. uncle ben has a thread up on here called ub's topping technique to get 2 or 4 main cola's, so by topping using his tech the grower will get either 2 or 4 buds that will grow like a main cola, ie, big and fat and dookie like..

Sensi bloom a and b

Sensi bloom a=4-0-4
Sensi bloom b=1-5-6
kushie kush=1-7-17
b-52=2-1-4
bud candy=0-0-1

those nutes are fine, your light is fine.. the plant is growing slowly.. not really much you can do about it as plants grow when plants want to grow..

again, i'd not be all too freaked out about it so long as it looks healthy and is growing on a daily basis and doesn't look like it's going to die tomorrow, which, imo, it doesn't look that way.. it looks nice and healthy, just a bit small for it's age.. haven't you ever known a kid that was smaller then the rest then in the 12th grade they shut up and were the tallest in the class?? same thing happens to plants as well..

Either that or they get beat up and made fun of a lot!!and have low self esteem problems..don't graduate high school get a Job at McDonald's and...wait a minute ,that's my life.. WAt about the lower leaves slowly turning yellow ?also is I too late to lollipop my boo? Currently in week five of flower

How long have you been growing racer?

cannabis about 5 or so years.. i wouldn't lolipop it, but i'm not big into lolipopping..

how much of the lower leaves are turning yellow m8?? some nutrient co's drop the nitrogen ration in their flowering range of nutes so you often get a lot of yelowing in late flower.. some people think it's natural for them to do so, but if you have something higher in nitrogen and give them a feeding or 2 of the high n, the yelowing should disappear.. if you don't mind a few yellow leaves, don't worry about it so long as it doesn't get really bad imo.

Yeah I'm not to worried about the yellow leaves..hav u ver grown a greenhouse strain from seed

nah m8, tbh, i'm not a very big fan of greenhouses recent work, well, pretty much anything since the mid 90s or so..

That sux..hopefully my strain won't be disappointed.. I still hav kings kush ..pure kush..free pack of a.m.sand one more strain ..in sure ill get some fire from there it can't all be bad
