Plant is growing slow, maybe I'm wrong but I don't see a lot of difference since the flowering kicked in. Not as big as I expected. Looks very healthy and no problems but not a lot of evolution. She didn't get much sunlight the last 2 weeks so that's one major cause I suppose.

Sativa heavy strains tend to take a lot longer to do most things vs something indica heavy. I wouldn't be surprised if that strain took 12-13+ weeks to finish flowering. You do have some nice buds forming there so you can rest assured the plant is doing what it should be. It is just gonna be slow going and the last several weeks you should see the flowers really starting to bulk up. Lack of light can definitely slow things down as the plant won't be making as much energy for it to put into growing. The plant looks nice and healthy though so even with that lack of light the plant should be just fine. Another thing that will affect the rate of growth is the ambient temps. If things get too cold for the plant it will slow down its growth. You generally want 70F+ daytime temps and 60F+ night time temps. If temps are falling below those numbers you will have to take some action to keep the plant warmer. Not sure where you live but in the northeast where I am we can't really grow sativas outdoors due to the long flowering times.

First thing I want to say damn that plant looks good. Yes because it wasn't receiving enough light could be the problem. But I was looking at breeders description and Max height outdoors is 5 ft min 3 so I think u have nothing to worry about she is thriving. Going to be some fire. Next time though when you grow just make sure she gets sunlight maybe even plant in a 20 gal pot or 30 gal. The bigger the roots can grow the bigger your plant is going to be. I'll be waiting on what the buds look like at harvest. Good luck

Looks healthy you're right. Give it a couple of weeks and the magic will happen. I can see you're going to have some sexy buds already

She looks great. I go through the same self doubt about bud development during the first few weeks of flower. They are definately growing and building a more complex bud structure. Time,patience and feeding her are the only things that you need to be dealing with. Once you have reached the mid bloom point you will see more bulking up in the buds with the most weight put on during the last 3 weeks of bloom. I have noticed that a number of outdoor growers are starting to experience cooler outdoor temperatures at night which will slow down growth and development. As long as your night time temps are 60' ish you should be good. It seems like a lot of work but if possible bring the pot inside at night if you expect colder night time temps. Hope you get some warmer weather to speed up your harvest date.🙏

It's a sativa dom or at least a sativa cross so maybe it will takes more time to get seriously into flowering than what you are thinking , of course the lake of light can be an issue and slow your grow but 12h of light is what a plant needs in flowering so no need to worry about that . I would personally have watch on the temps side as your day and night temps are not ideal , your day temps is on the lowest side of ghe average range and your night temps are not good.
