Switch your light times to 12on 12off. That will induce flowering. The reason its not budding is cos your giving it 16hrs of light which is keeping it in vegetive state
After watching your vid. Your gonna need some more cfls placed lower down in the cab as supplemental side lighting. You'll also need to support her with a cane or something, when she buds she won't be able to hold her weight as she's already leaning over. Good luck man
Plant looks healthy tho dude

looks very healthy 12/12 lighting and it will flower and if your worried about height top or fim next time you grow and get a better light 600 watt or 1000 watt lights work well

She will continue to stretch for up to 3 weeks (strain dependant). It'll take anywhere from 8 to 14 weeks to fully flower. Again that's strain dependant. What strain is it?
i think id get it into a larger pot.You will want more light in the grow..if it stretch's to much you can bend the plants top over and tie it down .
The first thing id do is transplant it into a larger pot.Around 10 gallon pot or 40 litres.Go to 12 / 12 and get you some more lights.
A guy on here grew a massive plant in a closet just like yours with LED lights..cree bulbs to be exact..you can find that at lowes and mennards if you have them in your country.
He was using 188 watts of LED cree bulbs is all.Some of the bulbs were mounted over the plant with several mounted in the closet aimed at the side of his plant.
The strain he was growing was called critcal kush.
How mush stretch the plant has depends on what kind of strain it is..afghanis tent to not stretch as much and indicas..Sativas stretch like crazy.

Just wanted to get this started,will edit and add info later.I'm short a Cree 5000k so I have a 5000k CFL in it's place temp.Lights go on for the first time in 21 minutes.So thats 150 watts of Cree and 112 watts of CFL side lighting.
12-2700k 9.5 watt Cree's
4-5000k 9 watt Cree's
8-14 watt 2700k CFL's side lighting
730 nm Flower Initiator
Intermatic ET8215CR two circuit timer
31" x 31" x 78" cabinet
13.5/10.5 light schedule with 5 minutes of 730 nm at lights out.
LEDS 18" above plant
LSD 19" tall in a 7 gal fabric pot with 35% super soil.
Had some problems with my new timer and temps so first day with everything set right is 5/20.

Thought I would throw up a couple pics.
The little deathstar is coming along ok for having been in so bad of shape and probably started flower outside 3 weeks before I got her.
The new critical kush is looking good and I've moved the ring up twice so far but she doesn't seem to be stretching as bad yet, I have fewer watts and more blue with this setup tho.
Added 4 blueberry skunks at day 18.

Go read the grow journal in the thread i posted.You will learn allot of information from it.
You could take the top of the plant..pull it down and tie it down if you had to.So relax.A tall bucket would get you more dirt..the more dirt or soil you will have the more production you will get.
Go read captain morgans journal and you will get ideas on what you should do.
