we need all the details like,ph,ec,what watts your light are the temps light ratio eg:12/12 ect.

If your growing in soil and watering twice a day you are drowning your plant and that is likely the cause of your troubles. But like Bong said you have to provide a complete discription of your situation AND some pics.

maybe N def??? just a shot in the dark. more info please....

i am growing under the sun. cant be nut defficency...cant be overfertalizing.....m sure.. might be from the watering... durign day temps here go up to 38-39 C ...i was watering them nights afre work..now i water all my plants mornigns n specially this plant respons better to it. btw i cant get how to post pics on the quick reply i will megaupload or thnk of somthn

Did u say sacks? Mayb u hav a Male plant - this would explain the lack of Bud!

Yea dude hair does not grow from the little sacks on the plant, if what you say is true then that is a male which is almost useless. 2 times a day is still to much even for hot temps. The weeds will suck every last bit of water out of moist soil so I think you did over water.

could be watering the plant way too much

Im sure that by "sacks" he means calyxes. Did any of you ever see "hairs" coming out of pollen sacks? LOL
The slow growth can easily be explained by the high temperatures and frequent watering. Sure the top of the soil is probably drying out in those temps but the roots are constantly soaked I bet. And MJ will grow really slow if at all in those temps.

I'm not a killer expert, but your plant looks healthy except for the rogue yellow leaves and the lack of flowers. My instinct says it's a pest problem.

Watering
If you over watered the plant, it would have droopy flowers or show over watering. It doesn't look like over-watering and I'm not sure if that would keep it from flowering. I checked the strain info and it flowers in 8-9 weeks. So there's definitely a problem. Check the right forum section here, and you're sure to find examples of various plant ailments. The answer is out there if you look at it. If you want to see a healthy Lemon skunk grow, check this out.

Bugs
Look for bugs. If you carefully lift the plant out of the pot and check the roots. They should be visible, appearing white... look for root rot (brown color) or any crawly bugs. Look carefully cause those crawly things quickly disappear into the soil. Or you can take a chunk of soil of the edge of the root ball, and study it for a bug infestation.

Deficiencies
What have you been feeding the plant? How strong is your nute mix? Check the boards for any deficiencies that have similar results as yours and try the nutrient in question.

Stress
Have you abused the plants in any way that would stress them? What kind of lights are you using? How close are they? The way it looks to me, you might have a root problem or a deficiency problem, and that may be stunting the flowers. I don't know why the plant would show more visible symptoms if it were a deficiency though.

Good luck.

I also wanted to mention that since it hasn't flowered, you can put it back under 18/6 or 24 light until you resolve the issue. It might save the yield.

heer is a pic of the rootunder did not notice no bugs... just is alittle brown the roots under..m not sure if its a rot...n the only digns of bugs are those white-ish spots on 2-3 leafs

Hey, If this thing lives outside how are you flowering it? Do you bring it inside at night or what? I mean how do you provide 12 dark hours?

And give it a bigger pot!

Am I the only one confused here? You say you have been flowering since May 10th or 12th. Is that the first time you say signs of the plants being female? Since you are growing outdoors and have no control of your lighting I am wondering did you start these plants inside and moved the females outside?

I am under the impression, and I have only grown with artifical lights, that the plant still needs a shortened day outside for it to bud. I do not know where you live but unless the plant has enough darkness it may not produce buds.

Maybe your plants are waiting for shorter days.
