i switched the lights over to 12/12 and I have seen no signs of pistils, balls, buds, nothing. I can see little crystals forming on some leaves and budding spots it looks like. It just keeps growing taller, I haven't used nutrients on it yet cause I do it every other water. And I only water when the plant tells me it's thirsty. I'm running out of room. Please help! I'm using 4 2700k light bulbs and normal soil. This is just a little closet grow that I wasn't expecting to get so big lol.

Hate to state the obvious but have you double-checked that your timer is actually going on/off at the times you set it?

Any chance they're autos? if your timer is Ok, this could be the issue...

A couple look like they're starting to pre-flower but 2 weeks they should be developing some flowers by now. I have a round only 9 days in and I'm seeing flowers coming in.

Yeah light shuts off at 7pm and turns on at 7am. I hang a sheet up in front of the door to block the light from me room just in case it gets in there. Idk why there not flowering and I see some pre flower spots as well but it's odd there's no pistils or anything. Could it be I switched it to flower to early?

I've made the light mistake before. Timer was set but I had switched it to bypass.

What have you been feeding, when you feed?

Any idea of the variety? I've heard of some Sativas requiring longer than 12 dark, particularly with lower light levels during day. They can also get quite tall, and have the thinner, longer leaflets yours has.

How long did she veg?

Honestly I grabbed a dark tiger seed, threw it in the dirt and started watering. Have no idea the strain I was feeding it some nutrients from the store just cause it's just for personal use that had high N for veg but I haven't used any nutrients yet in flower, just water. If I keep using the nutrients I have rn it'll keep growing cause it's high in N. I have to buy nutrients for flower. And I checked the timer to make sure and it does shut off and turn on when suppose too

Yeah that's strange, only thing I can think of is they're autos. I've had flowers show up after 2 weeks at 14/10 with some strains, have never had a photo not flower at 12/12.

What kind of high N fertilizer? Does it indicate how long it lasts? You'll want a bloom fertilizer, and you'll want to use it in your next watering.

No need to keep the hours even, maybe just go to 13 dark, see what happens. Remember you can always bend and prune to size.

Dark tiger? Are you talking about what the seed looked like?

Should I change the lights so they come on at 7am and turn off at like 5pm that way it's 10 on and 14 off?

You could try that even go down to 11/13 to see if they trigger. Only issue is if they're somehow autos that got switched or mixed with what you thought were photos, they won't yield as much.

Alright, well so far you're doing good, the plant looks nice and healthy.

You're probably just inhibiting flowering with your high nitrogen nutrient regimen. Feed a bloom booster, or if possible, get a two or three part nutrient system. Start feeding for week 1 of flower, or just follow the normal feeding guidelines. I'd keep lighting at 12/12 for now. I'm pretty sure it's your fertilizer.

Pruning is cutting parts of the plant off. Some call it defoliating. It's just a way to train the plant into the space you need it to fit into. Plants can double in size during the flowering stretch, so you have to plan ahead for that.

Check for light leaks in the room when lights are off...anything more than moon light will delay flowering and make them herm

Nope no light leaks already made sure of that before I put the plant in the closet. After the lights go off my closet is off limits And okay I'll try the bloom booster cause the box of the nutrients I was using says to reuse the nutrients every 7-14 days. So Im thinking that's how long it lasts

Your plants are still in veg stage as they were not mature when you changed your lights.. another couple weeks you'll see what your after..

I'm not buying that. You can put a seedling into flowering and if will do just that. And that's hardly "mature" now, is it?
