Is it just me or are these small for the beginning of week 4 since flip? I haven't done a run in a year and a half so bit forgetful, plus new strain different light setup and all that.
2 days Into the 4th week of flower, flowering started about 1 week - 10 days after flip.

Plants look different at different stages per growth appearance etc. You're good only like 10 or 11 weeks left they'll plump up in due time

Getting bigger but definitely not going to get any colas from this run, just lots of little budets on a stem.
Bit disappointing could be the strain maybe or the fact it's my first run with this strain and she's a fussy one I've never seen a strain that gets tip burn at 1.2 ec let alone at this stage (half way through week 5 flower)

You have 7 to 11 weeks left you're not even halfway there

It takes up to a couple weeks to transition then they stretch going into flower you've been in flower for like 2-3 weeks

Cheers maybe I am amagineing it. I sware everything else I've grown all the buds where touching each other by now forming a cola, it's hard to tell from the picks but there's massive gaps inbetween. Oh well see what happens anyway

Cant go into a new grow expecting last grows results or appearances. Just have to give them water when dry, food when hungry and harvest when ready

So how long since you flipped them? Light type, power and distance?

This is true. Maybe just the last couple was with a much different strain the produced better.

2 days shy of 5 weeks ago, first little buds showed up in 1 week.
600w of qb led (3x spider farmer sf2000s) at approximately 40cm (15.5")

That's a good possibility.

I’d say you’re concerned too early. They look good. I wouldn’t change anything at the moment.

How'd they turn out for you? Photos before harvest? They looked absolutely fine to me.
Ah sorry I can't find any of the pre harvest pics. Turns out that strain (Apollo 13) or atleast that pheno I had doesn't grow into single big colas just lots of small ones down the stems. I gave it to couple other people and theirs turned out the same. But I still pulled 780 grams in that 5x5 tent and it was only slightly more than 3 quarters full.
