Help! First Time Growers (Pics) Been growing healthy for FOUR MONTHS

Ok so there are about 16 plants that have been growing for FOUR months from germination til now!

The plants have always been relatively healthy. We recently transplanted them into potting soil in larger containers because they are not budding. As shown in some of the pictures... There are some beginnings of buds on the plants but they are not growing beyond that. We were a little late putting nutrients on them but we have been for a while now and we do regularly.

Also, as you can see some of our leaves lately have become odd. We are getting one and three fingered leaves and some five fingered leaves that are really close together. The leaves have always been pretty normal until now and there are still a lot of normal looking leaves on the plants. Some plants even have a bunch of little goosebumps on their leaves.

The plants have gone from bright green to very dark green... Some are still lighter on the underside of the plants.

Our main questions are these...

1)What is taking so long? All of our seeds were feminized. The buds are there but they are small and they wont grow bigger. Its been four months.

2)Are the new leaves a sign of a problem?

3)What can we do to make the buds grow?

Thanks for the help!!! Please look at our pictures and give any advice.

1. well they look like they've only been flowering for a few weeks, how long ago did u switch to 12/12?
2. No, three leafers are common in some strains
3. Move the lights closer, add some nute high in P and K but do it slowly careful no to burn, and patience
I don't think u have any major problems, u porbably just have some super sativa, what strain is it?

Thanks dude.

We switched to 12/12 about a month in. We are going on month number four so is it possible they flowered late?

We've been adding 10-15-10 on them. Everyday. How often should we do it?

The strains are White Widow and White Rhino.

for a month in they look alright, it couldv'e been they just took a week or two to start forming flowers (which is common for me it takes a week or two) it depends on wether ur goin from seed or clone and how long u veg.
Everyday? i nute 2 times a week when I'm in flower cause they need to be watered with fresh to flush out the salts and excess nutes
But i thinbk white widow and rhino are both about 50-60 days but the buds will tell u for sure, cause flower time depends on a lot of things, but if your doin everything right(which it sounds like) then just be patient and see what the buds do,

We started 12/12 a month in.... We are FOUR months in now. Thats why we dont know whats going on... Shouldnt they have been finished by now?

show [pics of all the plants and the room you have them in....is it completely pitch black in the room during 12 off?....highly unusual and those dont really look like white widow plants either...well from my experience

4 months? shit man, yea if u don't have any light leeks, i think a new strain is in order, sorry i misunderstood

Yes it is completely dark.

Here are more pictures. There are some White Rhino as well. It's a mix. A lot of them are bent right now as you can see.

The only thing we really did wrong was we started them in garden/top soil rather than potting soil. It was a mistake but we later transplanted them into potting soil.

Should we do less than 12 hours light? I've read that will force them to bud more...

check out the new pics and see what you think.

Is the light on a small heater considered a leak?

they look healthy just really shocked, the garden soil should be fine as long as u keep ur nutes and ph in check, but i wouldn't go below 12 cause allmost no strains need less than 12 hours and it could just shock them more, if u've allready been flowering for 4 months i wood suggest starting up some more and harvest those when u bring in the new guys

So these should be fine if we keep doing everything right?

well ive never heard of a strain taking four months so i couldn't tell u that, so maybe is the best answer i have for that, but if ur waiting on some veggers then go ahead and try to finish them up, cant hurt

what size nlight?
