Very first harvest - worried about slow growth

[thesausage]

Hi everyone, I have a few of these blue cookies plants that have reached 40-50cm so far, they came from an indoor grower and I planted them in a pot outdoors off season, its now over a month since spring started, in a hot-summer Mediterranean climate. I am just worried about how slow the buds are growing and how small the plants are compared to photos ive seen. Have no experience with watching bud form on a plant.

Feeding chart is listed in a picture below, I use all products listed except for rhyzotonic, replaced with a direct competitor that is double the concentration so only half the amount listed is used.

Could these actually grow much more bud, and if so, how long roughly?

The first two photographs are of the top cola taken nearly a month apart.
Plant photo 1 was taken on the 14th of September. Photo 2, 3 and 4 were taken about 30 minutes ago.

Nearly forgot the grow schedule.

How long have they been in the ground? Did you cut all the side branches off??

I purchased the three clones on the 26th of August (47 days ago), lost contact with the seller due to account ban so I don't know when they were planted, but here is a photo of right when I bought them. And I cut lots of fan leaves off about 5 days ago maybe?

Exactly 1 week ago, on the day they were trimmed.

Hmmm cool looking plants. But beyond my knowledge though I'm not sure why there's no branches or secondary shoots? I'll watch along and hopefully learn something! The cavalry will be along soon enough to give you some good advice

My no3. grows like that and is interesting.

Sounds to me like a picky plant.
It requires colder temps just before flowering and yours flowered outside in summer heat.
I think this plant requires careful attention.
I'm no expert but for a small plant with average yield not worth the stress.
