Buds are not swelling - Week 8

[nucky888]

Hello,

I have this super lemon haze and white widow in the pictures and they are into their 8th week of flowering. The buds are thin and not dense. I was expecting them to swell in the 7th and 8th week. Can someone help regarding the time left until the harvest? Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

It looks to me like the swell is just beginning.

My SLH had smaller, tighter buds than other strains, though. It also was a fast finisher. I harvested at 90 days once, just 9 weeks from 12/12, and let it go 10+ on another run.

Trich production looks good.

In the pics they look like 2-3 weeks or so from harvest, so I agree that it seems a bit slow. Are the pistils in a new surge, or are they starting to brown off?

maybe a little slow but they look really nice...I agree that some patience will ease your mind but you can always test your light output or go through the list of basics and double-check pH, feeding notes, etc., etc....Nicely done though, I don't think you have much to worry about...co2 supplementation might help but typically not too effective this late into flowering...i'm a firm believer in molasses and/or some FF OpenSesame/BeastieBloomz/ChaChing combo throughout flowering...Anyways, good luck!

Ditto what UltraDan said. Can't say enough about backbuilding. Take a look at the last page of my journal to see the results.
