    Default 8 weeks into flowering and nothing is happening

    Ok so I am flowering my 3 plants that turned out female and I think something is wrong. Since they started to flower they have not made a lot of progress, I am on my 8th week and i still havent seen any real resin production my bud just looks like a bunch of white hairs still and i don't know what to do. They are Great White Shark and the website i bought from said 7 to 8 weeks of flowering even if that is an early prediction i feel like they should be farther than this also a few of my hairs look like they may be turning brown which is also worrying me. I know my lighting isnt the best but i have a 150 watt hps on the ground and 4 4' florescents hanging from the ceiling. The hps bulb was to heavy to hang from the ceiling in the closet that is why it is on the ground but maybe getting it closer to the tops of the plants would help? Since the pictures were taken i raised the hps bulb up probably a foot and a half higher so maybe that will help. also my plants are huge and way to tall but i tried topping them and keeping my hanging lights very close to the tops but nothing has been able to stop these huge plants. Is something wrong? if so what? My thoughts were maybe a light leak or maybe my closet is to hot (the hps bulb heats the tiny closet very fast) maybe my 12 inch pots have become to small for my plants or maybe something else? any help would be appreciated!Resampled_2012-05-24_11-49-47_131(1).jpg2012-05-24_11-49-56_233.jpg2012-05-24_11-49-30_944.jpg

    What kind of florescent lights are you using? you're right your hps lamp should be up top. plant looks like a sativa maybe hybrid sativa/indica. never grew that breed. Sativa's usually talke at least 10 to 12 weeks to flower. Usually breeders give an estimate of flowering time but that depends on your set up and conditions.That's my opinion and best guess. Now that your hps is up top maybe it will start to fully flower.

    Two of my florescent bulbs are grow-lux bulbs and two are 6500k bulbs. I kept the 6500k bulbs in because i was told that my hps light would be enough red light and leaving those bulbs in would give me a good spectrum of light. Coho when you say sativa dom you mean that they are mostly sativa and that is why they are taking forever correct? and there is nothing I can do about the stretching now but how will it effect my end harvest and how long it takes my plants to reach maturity?

    I vote some sort of problem has occurred...how is your air exchange..? People don't realize what improper ventilation can sometimes cause in the way of stunted growth and what not...

    I don't think I would have let something like that continue in my tent...I would have probably killed it awhile back...You should see definite colas by week 5 or 6...no more little hairs here and there crap...
    So, I am not sure what went wrong where, but something somewhere is wrong with those plants...

    Too little light, all in the wrong places. That is why you have stretch and practically no bud. That 150w HPS won't do anything on those super tall plants, it is best when placed about 6-7" above plants and even closer wouldn't hurt as long as the heat is in check.

    You also state that your 4' fluoros are "on the ceiling", they won't be any good unless about 3-4" above the plant.

    I didn't mean on the ceiling i meant hanging from the ceiling i have them within 3 inches of the tops of my plant if i add more light will that fix it? I have put a lot of time and money into these plants not to mention the risk of course if there is no hope for these then i would like the cut my losses now and move on but if there is hope then i will do what ever it takes to get them to bud. I thought they were just taking time but now its sounding like they might be screwed. Could someone please tell me if there is any hope? If I'm about to have to kill my 3 baby girls I would like to know so i can start preparing mentally. It will be heartbreaking...

    Get your lighting as close as possible to the plants. You might still pull something out of this one even if it is at 8 weeks because I see alot of stiff white hairs instead of wispy orange ones, so you are not even close to having "ripe" flowers.
