Slow growth..or impatient?

So i started my first actual grow in august and am in the 4th week of flowering now, and ive had great results so far!!(Ill post pics asap if anyone is interested, ive got Irish Creme, Sharks Breath, The Hog and Northern Lights)...buut...i havent seen any "real" changes in a week..are there signs indictitive to nute lock or some other issue im not aware of that would slow growth?..or am i just being impatient??

Any tips for bulkin up the buds without 'roidin' em up?, would be appreciated! ive been using mollasses augmentation, its def given them a bit more girth and vigor! but im totally new to this, read alot, but practice makes a person experienced! help please?

if you spend too much time looking at your plants they look like they don't grow.
if you take pictures and they look the same way they did a week ago something is wrong.

pictures are always good.

your plants will slow down at this point and start bulking out but its a slow sometimes virtually hidden growth. by the fourth week of flower they've more or less topped out and wont get any taller but they will start gettin fatter but as mcfonz says if ur watchin them every day you wont notice the growth , its no where near as dramatic as the first few weeks of flower, the buds will fatten and the sites will mature. what usually happens at this stage is the bloody smell starts to get heavy and u may need ur extractor on all the time, not just during lights on. feed and water them , take a pic and just leave them for a couple of days, then when you go back u'll probably notice the difference.

usually at week 4 they pump pistils like crazy. its more than visible in pictures.

im deffinatly intrested in seeing your plants

Impatient.
Lol..

i think we've all been down the impatient road at some point...pullin buds off at week 6 and dryin them in the oven just coz we've ran out of smoke

Thanks guys. yes yes, as said, the first 3 weeks they just exploded with pistol-y goodness, and yes, they do seem to be more filling out then getting taller..HAH..i DO stare a bit too long everyday..i just cant help myself! i probably stare too long at huge grow rooms and buds as big as 2 liter bottles..my project is insignifigant in comparison,laughable probably to most of you..buuut! them 'thar buds'r gonna be good! ill post pics in the pictures section for everyone to enjoy asap!

thanks!

it's incredibly strain dependent, so there is no *normally*. The best advice here is to take pictures, if after 2 weeks you see no difference, you have a problem. It is not abnormal for strains to slow down dramatically for periods, and also, as mentioned, there can be growth behind the scenes which you don't see yet. Once the hairs start to turn on the older growth it becomes easier to tell what is new growth.

check out the pics in my grow i just updated today, its LEDs but you get the point
