Beautiful Girl: Growing slow?

[Adamchuck]

Hi Masters,
Happy Weekend.

This girl is 7 weeks into flowering. I've never experienced such slow budding formation. It's my 4th grow and in all other grows, I've seen them fattening much faster.
PH levels are normal and I am using 6 CREE COBS of 50 watts. 80x80 tent. Feeding her Dutch Pro.
Could it be that some are just growing slow?

Thanks pros.

Looks like Sativa - what strain is it??

Some Sativa will grow like that, they take plus 90 days to finish.

She looks pretty good to me. Steady the course.

With all honesty I have no idea what strain this is due to my stupidity. I had mixture and I hate myself for that.
But she's indeed good looking girl.
How sure are you that this is a sativa?

The narrow leaves indicate that it is a Sativa

Great looking girl my friend. @Adamchuck
If it is pure sativa they can take 12 weeks to flower.
It looks to me though she is only about 3 weeks into flower otherwise .
How far away is your lights?

The narrow leave and the long flowering periods are characteristic for sativa dominants.
They Usually take longer to end the flowering.

My last sativa was 100 days to end flower.

The buds were smallish till week 8 and then suddenly they started packing up.

Wait more 2 weeks and you should have fattening buds.

What's your floor temps like? Cooler temps will bring out natural colors and terpenes, but they also slow the uptake of nutrients, and cause slow growth.

And to me she looks like a hybrid ...if it was a pure sativa, she would have very long stems on those thin fingered leaves, and would stick way out from the plant...I've had some thick fingered Indicas get thin leaves in flower...but hey the trichs will tell the story

...and when did you start your count...
Those white pistils, and smaller bud sites tell me she's been flowering for about 2 to 3 weeks...I wait till they start showing "buttons" (can take almost 2 weeks sometimes) and to me, buttons are about the size of my pinky tips before I start "the count" ...but it's still the 10 to 15% amber that makes me pull them

And another thing about Sativas, is the bud growth at first looks kind of airy and very small, for about 7 to 8 weeks, then they fatten up pretty quickly after that, almost looks like a heat problem when they grow...here's one of my hybrids, a Gorilla Zkittles, it's only 6 weeks into flower...but I also use old school HIDs to flower, 1000 watt HPS to be exact

Sativa can take 3 to 4 weeks to start flowering and why I start time from flip.

I'm seeing Sativa - could be a hybrid but from the slow times, not much indica in there if any.

Looks like Thai weed to me. Time will tell. Thai can go 140 days in flower. yikes....
