okey i just keep watching them grow then ... but i cany wait forever ... my english is not that great i am from sweden
"Cany wait" I kinda had you pegged for Scottish. :-P Dinna fret a'boot speak'in perfect fooking English. :wink:

In my humble experience, days 1-27 are very, very boring to watch if your looking at the buds. Weeks 1-2 should have a growth explosion .. Did you have a week 1-2 growth explosion??? IF not, you probably didnt have a week 1-2.

Light leaks perhaps??? Nothing happened to my first [and current] crop until light leaks were fixed, THEN I had the growth explosion and a very boring 3 weeks wondering where my bueatiful buds were.

An advanced technique is to start with 9 hrs dark, and slowly feel out the exact amount of dark time needed, in order to give it an extra time in the light.. SO... some strains, and phenotypes within that strain may only need 10 - 12.5 hrs dark.

Would it not be possible
that a plant that could require 12.5 or 13 hrs dark??? Maybe extend the dark time by 15 - 30 minutes and see what happens. Longer dark, will speed up harvest and result in lower THC... but its better than what 12/12 is doing right now.

^I've also been told that by gradually reducing the photoperiod(from 18/6, for example), as you've mentioned, it'll help quite a bit towards reducing that 'stretching phase', that us indoor growers are so accustomed too. The logic, is that the drastic change provokes them to a panic state, stretching like crazy. A slow change, allows them adjust slowly. Makes sense, when you think about it. Hell, I'd panic too, if all the sudden, the days got 6 hours shorter.lol I'd probably go on a crack-binge, figuring that the world would be ending soon. :lol:
