Whats my problem? Is there any hope?

These plants have been flowers for 5 weeks and no sign of thickening up into buds.
Very new, only 3 past crops. Never seen this happen. Hydro with T5 lights. Any hope for smoke?

those look like sativa (or at least sativa dominant) strain to me.
do you know what are they ?
sativas normally take a bit longer to fully mature - if your previous grows were indicas you may feel like it takes a bit longer now.
Also how many lights and what wattage in total are you using ?

started from seeds a couple years ago. white queen is the name and its suppose to be an ind/stativ mix. it does say an 8 - 10 week flowering period on the packet.
my space is in a 3x3x5 tool cabinet with T5 I have (4) 2' lamps total on two fixtures with all red tubes. using the base and bloom of a three part nutient since the flowing. cut lights back to 10 on 14 off about the same time.... plants are very tall but that seens to be the variety. ppm has been like 1450 and ph is 6.5 - 7.

it looks like it may be reverting back to veg? Those are some LONG bud leaves. are there any light leaks during you dark period?

ill just lay it out those plants are stll very immature doing ok for 5 weeks but cut back slightly on your nutes i see some burning.. you could use a lot more light ill bet thats your biggest problem they look stretchy and light hungry this is also most likley why these buds are taking so long to fatten .. i would say mabey 5 more weeks .. t5s just take longer to make buds imo ... other than that those are nice plants .. invest in a 600w HPS you wont be sorry.. cheers

edit WHY 10/ 14 .... YOU NEED 12/12... YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IS LACK OF LIGHT !!

appreciate the thoughts and ideas. will investigate 600w HPS for next crop. will cut back on nutrients, i agree that they may have been high.. if they do finish and mature, it will be a good harvest...
