Cracked open a festa cream ale from a grolsch bottle after a week and it is almost flat. I know 1 week is not much time, but I put 3/4 cup of dextrose/2 cups boiled water in bottling bucket and swirled in while racking after cooling. The instructions in retrospect call for 1 to 1 1/2 cups dextrose. Will it come around in time?
Festa Brew Undercarbed... Thoughts?

Yes it will. It just needs more time. It may take longer but it will carb up in time.
If you are only 1/4 cup short of what it called for then it should come around in time. I wait until the 3 week mark before sampling any of my brews. But it's a lot harder to wait until then when you have nothing in your pipeline!
The beer should be:
1. conditioned for a few weeks
2. conditioned in a a room about 70°F
3. chilled in the fridge for 2 days or so prior to opening and drinking
I would say because of 1 for sure and maybe 2 and 3 you have this result.
