2 weeks into 12/12, no sign of bud

I've got Alaskan Ice clones in hydro. Went from 18/6 in a cloner, to 12/12 in the same juice.

Not my first grow, but my first grow with this strain. Could it take that long to show? It's supposed to be a 9 week bud total.

Any Ideas, advice?

if they have internally begun to flower (yet still not showing signs) it wouldnt be recommended to revert back to veg, but it wasnt exactly clear what you did with the clones. you got them and put them straight to flower?? am i reading that right? you should always let fresh cuttings (clones) veg in 18-24 hrs light/day so that they can develop roots. they will not grow or absorb any nutrients bc they do not have a source for nutrient uptake. fresh cuttings should be placed in a humidome (tent) so that the leaves can absorb the water (its the only way for them to receive water). try using a little CO2 also.. i use rhizotonic to help promote root development. it should only take 10-14 days for roots to develop and then you can flower them. the more i read your post, the more i think im reading it wrong. if all that was shit you already knew and had already gone through that, then id just keep waiting.. it shouldnt be too much longer..

Nah, sorry I wasn't clear. What I did was..... I put cuttings into a cloner, after a couple weeks, got roots going. I let them veg for about 6 weeks after seeing developed roots. Plants look healthy as hell, growing like crazy. Then after 6 weeks of veg....put them into 12/12 in a larger hydrobox.
