Delayed Budding (or so it seems)

I have a single plant under a 600 watt HPS light...its been on 12/12 for 27 days or so (flowering began september 12th) and its still just a shitload of preflowers...i mean there are MANY budsites and clusters of hairs but not alot of improvement in the past 2 weeks...could it be the strain or rootbound or something...it was rootbound once so i just but the 2 gallon pot in an additional 2 gallon pot...im not sure exactly what to do...some of the leaves towards the bottom of the plant are folding inwards (not heat stress for sure-temps stay 72-80) could be RH (20-30%) im using NSR Bloom Juice for nutes every other watering..any input appreciated...really hoping to smoke some of this haha

no not yet i will though,how do i post pics?? also my RH is at 27% right now....i heard low rh isnt bad for flowering...and the plant has virtually now discoloration or anything so i didn't figure it was RH because its been the same from the get go and the plant grew insanley the first 2 weeks of flower its just seemed to slow down recently...

In the next 30days they should fatten up.
Ya may have a savativa where they flower like that.

IMO you should be doing fine. It should take 7-14 days before preflowers show and you're at 27ish. Some strains grow faster than others. Also if you're growing indicas you're not gonna have super tall plants, you'll have shorter plants packed with resin. Additionally, whenever you transplant a plant it gets stressed and will slow down for a few days, maybe a week. Pics would help but I don't see any problem. RIU suggest keeping ur humidity between 50-60% until the final two weeks of flowering where you should drop it to about 30% so the plant produces more resin to protect itself. I haven't fucked with the 30% thing but I'll give it a try. good luck.

SUPPOSEDLY it was a purple seed...though i have doubts...is that usually sativa?...i mean i see like miniature light green buds in the mess of white hairs but there just at random places it seems in a huge tangle of stems and leaves...although like 2 main stems with alot more clustering of buds going on are raising like 3 inches above the canopy...

I didn't have any 9 finger leaves, you didn't have any 7's it's okay dude. Has to do with the strain. Flowering takes between 8 and 12 weeks so you really do have a long time to go. Sativas are more on the 12 weeks side. Those white hairs/stigmas/pistils will will get out of hand and then at about 6 weeks you'll really start to see your plants form solid buds. I mean... that's all a bud is.. a collection of leaves and white hairs. It sounds to me like you're doing alright. I dunno if purps are usually sativa, my guess is that they're usually indica. You'll find out if you have a short really resinous purple plant tho haha

they look fine to me for 27 days......should start fattening up in the next week or so....also looks like they are gonna be pretty big.

looking good all in all, just be patient & don't go rushing things pouring on nutes & you'll be fine.
