Flowering issue.

I have two female plants currently in the third week of flowering. They are both the same strain, they were both planted on the same day, have been watered on all of the same days, under the exact same lights, moved to flower at same time, were transplanted at same time, etc etc etc. The only difference between the two is that I tried to take clones from one, making is much shorter than the other.

Of the two my tall girl is healthy and beautiful. She has sprouted dozens of buds that look delicious (although small, it's still early!) She's about four feet tall and shaped like a christmas tree.

My other girl is much shorter. She's so much shorter that I had to put her on a 10 gallon upside down bucket so that her top would be even with her sister. This plant is much bushier than my other plant and has sprouted no buds at all! The only indication of buds is the female sex pistols located on all of her spots where her leaves connect to her stems, but she has no buds anywhere! I'm very worried about this. Any thoughts, ideas, or tips?

My girls have been on a sensibloom A&B solution bi-watering since they entered flower. I started them at 600ppm and now they're up to 1100ppm. I water them every other day, and every other one of those waterings has nutes (the others are just distilled water.) These solutions are always adjusted to 6.5pH. They are under a 150w HPS light for 12 hours a day in a sealed tent that I built. They also have 1200ppm of co2 injected in to their tent via tubes with slits hanging from my light three times a day.

sounds like u stressed the plant when u took the clones. If ur plant was stressed right before, or anytime after switching to flowering, it could delay flowering and possibly cause it to hermi on ya

Generally you want to take clones from the bottom of the plant. The lower branch cuttings root more easily and you can keep your top cola. Even so, topping anytime before flower should not have caused your plant to not produce buds. There has to be something else going on. It could have a disease. IDK just a possibility. Plants do get sick.
