she is sativa and it takes some crazy time to mature. just give her time. what name are you growing. looks like lowgrade stuff. i can see the tri's starting to form though. you can really tell on the first and second picture. just remember rome wasn't built in a day. what are their light cycles also. how much light for how much space. all these things account for thinkgs. broken light cycle can throw everything into termoil also. be more specific and you'll get a more specific answer. oh yeah watch out for light burn and nute burn.

#1.... What type, wattage and amount (time) of light are you using?
#2.... Every type of plant ( ak47, white widow, haze etc...) will mature differently and at different rates. (HELL) For that matter individual plants within the same type will also.
#3.... Don't FREAK! (Actually, this should have been #1)
#4.... They all look healthy (with very minor blemish) so you must be doing alot of
things right!
#5.... I have had individual plants within the same genome that took twice as long to
mature but kept them just to see what they would do. (Glad I did)
#6.... Don't do anything drastic no-matter how good it sounds (I include in this the
advice from most of the moderators)
#7.... How long of a vegative grow did you give these and under what conditions?
#8.... I know, a lot -o- questions but if I am to give you the best that I know then I
need the answers.
This will probably dis'd by the powers that be, but understand that most of this site is run by a few who set the rules then change them to accommodate their egos.

ho ho ho there was no need for the last comment. what you said was true to the T. lets be honest here, potheads are impatient. we want our smoke and we want it now. we just need to relay that nice things take time. you can go out and get any hydro grown shit thats a fifth clipping that has a fifth the thc and cannabinoid levels as the mother. the hydro strips the true taste of the plant away as opposed to its soil counterpart. if anyone has a problem with what you said, they can deal with me also although there is no need for such things. i'll put my smoke against anyone here, well not vote's. that mother fucker has some crazy shit going on like numbnutz. all person's on this plant should realize we are here to educate not discriminate. after all; we all search the same desires here. PEACE!

Hey welcome back AMNP! seems like ages since Ive seen u around here, i hope u stick around man.

thank you all for the replies, now here is mine

keep her growing. what do the trichs look like? do y ou have a luminating microscope to check them out?
yes I have the one that everyone craves about form radioshack, 60x-100x w/light, but even under closer observation there arent any crystals on the plant at all.

strange. i have no idea. more info on set-up please. what lights? what medium? anything.
I grow in soilless medium (MG Potting Mix) consisting mainly of peat moss and perlite. Currently in 2.5 gallon pots.

Under 300w of CFL power (16,4000 total lumens) grow area is a semi-stealth 2ftx3ft closet, covered in mylar wall to wall

Veg for 30 days (18/6), now been Flowering for 11 weeks (12/12)

I fed MG all purpose (24-8-16) during veg and for the first 5 weeks of flowering,
then on week 5 I switched over to their flowering solution (10-52-10) and added molasses as a supplement.

I use the sugar, water & yeast method for co2, it sits on top of the light reflector with my oscillating fan over it to circulate around the room and to keep air moving.

I have a squirrel cage fan hooked up to a small home made carbon scrubber to exhaust that stale air.

they look like 3 weeks flower..is your light 12-12..if so you need more light.
more light? why do u think that?

good point. has it been flowering (12/12 lights) for 11 weeks? or do you mean its 11 weeks old?
total of 15 weeks, flowering for 11

she is sativa and it takes some crazy time to mature. just give her time. what name are you growing. looks like lowgrade stuff. i can see the tri's starting to form though. you can really tell on the first and second picture. just remember rome wasn't built in a day. what are their light cycles also. how much light for how much space. all these things account for thinkgs. broken light cycle can throw everything into termoil also. be more specific and you'll get a more specific answer. oh yeah watch out for light burn and nute burn.
its original haze x skunk, supposed to flower for 10-12 weeks then be done, fully coated in crystals. Ive never grown this strain before so i didnt know what to expect. I wanted to do a SoG, but if it takes this long I'd rather not.
I've got 300w (16,400 lumens) over a 2ftx3ft area (2733 lumens/sqft)
Light cycle is curretly 12/12. the other 5 plants are flowering just fine, this one just doesnt look like it wants to finish up.

and yea, that nute burn and light burn is a bitch, if she would just stop growing I wouldnt have to worry about that... but im certain the problem in the pic is a deficiency I always feed on the light side since I started them in preferted soil.

keep it going spittin.
That plant looks more sativa than indica.

You know those can flower up to 16 wks sometimes.
yeah, Im thinkin im gonna have to go to week 13-14. thanks for stoppin by man.

its alright, U didnt ask many questions tho..
1.) CFL's, 300w's, warm white, 12/12 light cycle.
7.) I vegged for 30 days, in the same room under the same lights and conditions. I still had plenty ventilation, co2, air circulation, complete darkness during the dark cycles. temp & rh were monitored and are kept <85*F and <55%.

hopefully that all helps, Im guessing its genetics but 11 weeks flowering is definitely bizzare. Ive harvested many plants, but none of them took this long to develop crystals. If anyone knows of any valuable info Id be glad to take a look at it. all help is welcome.

thanks again to everyone who helps, I really appreciate it.
:peace:

shit if it is only one plant like this don't sweat it. happens to everyone. probably f1's. i thought they all were like that. PEACE!

always a chance of light leaks ;-), however i dont believe thats the problem. all of the other plants that are closer to the door are flowering fine, sparkling with crystals -






Here's my light setup in case anyone else believes it has to do with lights



all help is appreciated,
thanks
:peace:

judging from how your leaves look... (my guess is) ....looks like u may have nutrient problems...

by the way...the strain ur growin haves a big influence on the crystals your worried about....what kinda strain of bud r u growing?

i don't think fdd, if it was that all the crop would be around the same not just one inparticular. they are probably f1's or some crazy bagseed. which was probably an f1 or f2 itself.
