in budding three weeks and no trichomes

[Gemini61782]

this is my first DWC, and when I grew in dirt I got snow on the tops of the buds pretty early. right now relative humidity is around 45%, and the temp is between 72 and 76 degrees F. any help would be greatly appreciated

what are ya feedin ya ladies? lighting?

i wouldnt fret tho, different strains mature differently, so your trics should come soon especially if your ladies look healthy otherwise

Right now they are on General Hydroponics three part micro, grow, bloom. I change my res every Friday, and give them fresh nutes with tap water. As far as lights, I am using 4-150WATT equivalent CFL's and a 300 Watt equivalent CFL. The four small ones are more of a blue spectrum but the big center light is more of the red. right now she is about 24" tall and 38" wide. she has been FIM'd, LST'd, and she does look real healthy so I guess I will hope for the best. Thanks for the response DroJo, hope this all works out.....This is only part of the bagseed issue I believe...

Are you seeing any white flower hairs? Those are usually the first to show before a dramatic showing of trichs

 

[Gemini61782]

Hey Scott, you mean Pistles? yeah my girl looks like someone threw popcorn on top of every branch, looking at over 100 bud sites and about 9 of them are gonna be colas. I never would of thought that much at 2 ft tall...but 3ft wide is crazy.....

Thanks Gemini61782 Looks very well. I would say just be patient ,I know this a hard thing to ask for all growers. You said it was bagseed right? Best regards and thanks for the quick pics.

A quick update... the trichomes are coming in beautifully now and the growth spurt she underwent has subsided, due to me pinching the tops of the buds. they are getting pretty fat now..
