I am a first time grower. I vegged my plants for 2 an 1/2 months. Gradually flushed the veg nutes out of the plant up until day 1 of the 12/12.it has been the 3 rd week of 12/12. Just running foxfarm soil so no need for nutes plants are still healthy, just getting very discouraged. I have put alot of time in to theese plants, any ideas. Btw ive just been giving it 5.5-6.5 ph balanced water no nutes
3rd week of flowering nothing happening?

How close are your lights and what light up using
I am using 400watt led and lights are 1 1/2 ft away from canopy

Something else is going on if that is how much they have grown for a 2 1/2 month veg.

Using a digital or analog timer? Sure you are really at 12/12?

change your light schedule to 10 on 14 off. in soil you want to keep your ph around 6.5, ph of 5.5 is way too acidic for soil. if it were me, i would water at ph 7 untill run off, test the run off ph. if it is below 6, you probably want to take further action. your plants are quite small for 3 months old, probably due to ph issues.

I'd try and lower them if u can I'm using cfl for veg and they don't give of much heat so if say same with Leds so get the light closer and add more lights two not enough for the plants u got dude
I am using a digital timer. Light cycle is 8am-8pm. No light leaks
I dont think its do to lack of lighting ive got a buddy that veggs 3 plants and flower under 400watt led no problem. More thank likely due to bad ph or not enough darkness

some strains are stubborn. go 10am-8pm lights on. re-calibrate your ph meter and water with ph 7 and report back with run off ph.

Not sure why you arent feeding them, 2 1/2 months of veg, now 3 weeks of 12hrs. there isnt any nutrient left in the FF. also, as mentioned , ph should be 6.0 to 6.5, in soil. What is the brand name of your lighting, I use COBS, with a much whiter spectrum, and also use Fox Farm Ocean, but I add nutrients, and great results

Hey I too am a first timer, and I also used fox farm I chose to start with the happy frog not too hot but yet has seemed to serve me well so far. But nutes are key I found. I just switched to 12/12 last week and my girls are blowing up for the most part. I have 2 out of 8 that are a bit stunted cause I got foggy with the whole mackrel and gave them a double dose of nitro. they sure didn't like that! But for the most part they are beautiful. I sure hope I don't fuck em up. try given them a dose of the fox farm regiment you can pick one up at most grow shops that carry fox farm. I think you will be happy with it just don't get to squirrely cause it does have a tendency to get salt build up if you do. But get some sledgehammer flush and keep on experimenting.
