So I had some Afghanistan seeds from marijuana-seeds.nl that I sexed and started growing. These are supposed to be Indica plants with 7 to 8 weeks of flower. They have been outside growing happily, but it is the middle of september and while my other plants have tons of buds, these have next to nothing. Now the stems are turning purple. The soil is home-made with 1/3 horse manure, 1/3 perline, and 1/3 sphagnum peat moss. These things are fucking huge and I don't want to just chop them, but it frosts here around 10th of October and usually everything in the garden is dead by the end of October. At this rate these dumb bitches won't be done flowering until November. What exactly am I doing wrong with these? I can't bring them into my indoor grow room because 1) they are too big and 2) I already have my room set up to start my winter crop after my summer harvest. Any ideas? I have included a couple pics.
Help, my plants aren't flowering / won't flower

you could try bring um into a dark place cutting there light for an hour or two in hope of speeding things up, or maybe build a mini poly tunnel around it to try to protect it from the winter, maybe take clones to give u a headstart for your indoor winter crop
Those are great ideas. I especially like the idea of bringing the ladies inside for an hour or two before dark. That would surely kick start them bitches. I just don't understand why they haven't started flowering considering they are an indica plant and supposed to be done in 7 to 8 weeks. I'll keep everyone posted.

well the weather has been screwed up where im at, and my plant started flowering sept 1st. i here its gonna be warm all through october in nor cal. the purple stems is from phosphorus deficiency, it could also be getting to cool at night like below 60 but mj can handle it till it starts freezing. i would add some potassium, it will probably flower then
Thanks Cack. I used regular garden soil instead of the horse manure (didn't have enough) with my other plants and it really fucked them up. Not going to get shit for yield so I'm really needing these ladies to produce.
Yea, we're in eastern washington (yes, this is a legal medical grow) and the weather has been fucked all year. Late LATE spring and now it's hotter than hell in september. I think I have found a home for them. I have a friend with tall ceilings in his grow room. He will finish them out for me and we will split the harvest. Not a bad deal.
Rock, it's a pure indica plant from afganistan. How long can the flowering period be?

I bet if you drag them over to a big fat tree, and put them up under the trees foliage, they will pop with flowers, or make some big ass tarp/box/shade thingies and throw em over the plants at like 5pm everyday
you could look into getting some FreezePruf (its like anti freeze for your plants) or a similiar product. Its supposed to add a threshold of an extra 10 degree Fahrenheit to your plants. Also theres a product called Humbolts BushMaster that speeds up flowering by about 7-10 days. I would also try giving it high phosphorous and Potassium and some unsulfured blackstrap mollases helps if your growing organically.
All great ideas Prefontaine, but I think I'm going to have my buddy finish it inside his grow room.
Sour, I gave it some flowering nutes, but I have already decided to give them to my buddy to finish out. These things will never finish before november and would rather have them finish off inside where environment can be controlled. My buddy still hasn't seen them though, so I may still have to pull them inside myself. They are barely showing dual pistol hairs.
