I have bubbleponics

I've had my girls going for about 5 weeks or so. the only thing that is going on is there there is a lot of hairs showing. lower and mids parts of the stalk have bulges at the nodes and I can see the hair things trying to potrude from them. but no hairs yes No serious bud growth at all. earlier forum post I mean i added some more bloom stuff. It says on the package for aggresive growth add 3 table spoons of bloom growth per gallon. My container hold about 12 to 14 gallons of water. Should I REALLY up the bloom to get it to flower more. Will I possible be flowering past the 9 weeks or more? I use the Pure blen pro bloom from my calculations I need to put
from my calcuation about 36 or 42 teaspoons of that stuff in. at first i was only putting 12 teaspoons or so. then on the next water refill i put about 30 teaspoon. Should I put the maxium amount. The the only thing im worried about it nuting them too much. Should i worry or just go by the calcuations??

and what would be good besides the bloom to help it flower more. what is something i can buy.
 
Are you growing Indica, Sativa or blend? Some Sativas can take 12-16 weeks to flower, so being at week 5 you wouldn't expect a large amount of development with Sativas. With Indicas, you should be seeing some small buds taking shape, but you've still got a minimum of 3 more weeks before they should be capped out in size.

How many plants are you growing, and how long did you veg them? A 12 gallon tank is enough for quite a few large plants. I'd imagine you could grow about 15-20 3' tall plants off of a tank like that on a 10-day tank cycle.

I have heard that better nutes can speed this process up a bit, but I've mostly heard that better light speeds up the cycle a bit. It's best to have both, because the best fertilizer in the world isn't going to create a good product without good lights, and vice versa.

Either way, you can't hurt your product by giving it better quality nutrients, but don't go beyond the recommended amounts or you'll just risk burning them. Sativas grow a bit slower, which means they use nutrients at a slower pace. Indicas love nutes and drink them up quick, but they have a shorter flowering time as well.
 
Im not sure if its sativa or indica it was just some good green i got the seeds from. I have 3 BIG plants going, all previous info is in the link of my post, click on earlier forum post to see what else i said
 
Sativa is really stretchy and tall with thin leaves, whereas Indica is bushy with lots of offshooting branches with fat leaves. Hybrids could be either way, but usually you can tell if it is either Indica or Sativa dominant by the appearance.

I posted on your other thread about the lighting which seems a bit low for 3 big plants. Good luck :D
