Sativa Growers, Question.

So i have these sativa bag seed, they have been growing since october 14th and

flowering since the beginning of november, this is day 56 of flower, so week 8. I am

finding it hard to be patient with these things. Im pretty sure they are 100% sativas,

so i figure 8-10 weeks flowering. They havnt quite fattened up yet, but looking today

they seem to be getting fatter. The Hairs arent even 50% amber yet...


For some background, ive got
250 HPS
around 300 watts of fluoros and CFL's
the get a 10-54-10 fert every other watering
regular water for the others.
i water 32 ounces daily.
They are in 3-4 gallon bins
organic no ferted soil and perilite.
they are lst'd basically i just bent the top down a week or 2 prior to flower (i was worried
about vertical room).
Temps are in the low 80's
i dont have an ec or pH meter.
HPS is 5-6 inches above the tops with a fan blowing across the top
5 inch PC intake fan
passive intakes in the floor
500 cfm exhaust



I have cut a sample bud off each, mid sized and while trimming i realized that they

also havnt developed thc chrystals like i see in many other grows. Do sativas usually

to develop chrystals, i know fattening occurs in the last 2 weeks or so, but damn, im

8 weeks since beginning budlet formation!...


ensure me that my patience will pay off! please?

 

ill get some pics tomorrow from my moms 10 megapixel nikon! ill go borrow it, and ill pick up a scope... whats the magnification you reccomend?

chimera, since i know you grow hydro, next grow will be 4 bubble buckets.
