Small Buds Hairs are 80-90%

I have crap for info, and 8 year olds can write better. Lets put that out there. I have a problem with putting thoughts down so others can read. but thats not why we are here...

I have a clone which is quite bushy and about 2-3ft tall.
Very healthy looking to me. This is my 4-5 grow and the mother went well. I do not have a clue when i placed it in the 12x12 cycle which is CFLs. if i had to guess at least 2 months ago? I had just harvested another which was huge so i think my environment is right. Trying to flower 2 plants ever 2 months or so. Every thing was going well and i was estimating 3-4 more weeks on the suspect plant. then it seems when i removed the one mentioned above (A) if you will, it went south. Hasnt grown since in size and all hairs are basically red up top have not receded either, buds are small defiantly wouldn't think to see even a hint of red/brown at this point, i feel based on the past 4, not many but, this was prime growing time and it stalled. Nothing like i have seen in my 4-5 last. could it be too much light? since i did try to give it some more light until i had another to replace it (A). Is she missing her buddy (A) and is upset that im smoking her old friend? It is in Dirt and im giving her shots of GH Novo. She is drinking i let them run fairly dry before more water/nutes.

i have had 4-5 decent to now great successful grows referring to (A) about 3.5 oz. Maybe not pro standards but for a man trying to have 2 little gals produce for himself under cfls. I just replaced (A) with a DWC bucket

I really thought i was doing good with them all until now.

Thanks in advance. I will post pics when the cfls kick on

So the clone, is the same strain you've been growing? If so - it sounds like she may have been pollinated. Sounds like one of your other ladies went hermie, and your clone is growing seeds. This can "stall" the buds, and turn all the hairs early, as she doesn't need them anymore, and puts her energy into seed production. Squeeze open a few calyx - and see if there is an immature seed inside. Do you have a scope? You can check the trichs, as well.

Thanks for the reply. attached is a few bad pics until my camera battery charges.

Yes this is a the same strain 3 generation clone. I do have what i believe is 2 different strains. I call the suspect one (B) and the other (A) which i refer to above.

I squeezed open a few calyx and nothing inside.
The trichs are clear and cloudy.

I dont how how she could have been pollinated i never seen a pollen sack on A. I'm not doubting you theory either. Early on in this i have seen males but now im on 3rd gen and have been cloning. I am also indoors with winter wrapping up outside.

Anyone have any ideas?

thanks
