It is possible I turned it to 12/12 before it was mature enough
Hello I’m new to the forum!!!

5 weeks in flower? I thought she was vegging getting ready for flower to be turned on. What kind of light are you running? That does seem slow.
I’m running a nock off Chinese light but it is full spectrum and I looked at the reviews with pretty plants but maybe they was auto plants
I have seen a few more pistol forming over the past week. I’ve noticed the plant is still stretching as well. When I grew these outdoors it had a long flower time as well like 10 weeks
Folks go to flower at different times some really early and some later. I usually wait until a get a full net of bud sites leaving the grow low and wide leaving space for the stretch I’m gonna get during flower.
this is a picture of my current veg tent. It’s almost ready for flower as just a couple more of those squares need to fill in for my liking before I go 12/12
This tent is almost ready for sure. Any day now it will be in flower. Like I said this is just what I do. I’ve seen some put their plants in flower practically right out of the womb
but they still flower.

Let’s see a close up of the pistols forming all over. Could be your light is good For vegging but not for flower but I’m no light expert. Just seems you should have more flower action after 5 weeks to me. Perhaps someone else will chime in.
Yes some do stretch really tall sometimes depending on the strain and lighting. I’m thinking maybe it’s your light as you should see noticeable flowers by now.
I ordered a new light yesterday I will try it and see if it makes a difference

I really couldn’t give you advice on lights unless you got either the SP-2000 or the Mars-2000 as those are working in my tents. @CrashMagnet knows a little bit about reading the lighting descriptions. Let’s see if he will chime in for some help.
From the description of the light I got two things. "High quality LEDs" is advertiser code for NOT LM301b, which is currently the industry standard. And "only draws 65 Watt" (including the fan) which is not much output no mater which diodes it uses.
I think it will be okay for a single plant if you keep it close and only care about the top buds. But I'm just guessing. I'm always over lighting my plants, so I don't have much experience figuring out the minimum you can get away with.
I’m not sure if this is the light mini has now, or the new one…
mini has just one plant but it’s in week 5 of flower with very little signs of it. The only thing I could figure is maybe the light is not strong enough for flower but I’m not sure…

I have read on here where some people have had to drop the ‘lights on’ period to 11 or even 10 hours to force flowering. Do you have a link to the light on Amazon. PPFD is more telling of how a light will perform than wattage. In flower you want >1000 umols per sq meter per second. Over something like 1700 is only advantageous if you are using CO2.

The pictures are a bit confusing. The headline says 756 pcs. There is a pic of 3 different sized lights(one with almost 600 LED’s, one with about 1200 and one with about 2400). Hard to say which one corresponds to the PPFD map. A lot of knock off manufacturers have deceptive info in their sales literature. I have 3 crappy blurple lights that are 7 plus years old. I need to replace mine next time I get around to a tent grow due to age. When I buy a new light, I am going to go with Spider Farmer as I have seen great success(very nice in Borats voice) from other growers and they are pretty affordable. Sorry I am not much help. I just have questions about the info provided on Amazon. Seems deceiving.
The light you ordered has some customer comments about the light being great for veg but they would not think it would do well in flower. Also a lot of comments about having to return them for one reason or another…
