my plant wont flower

hey there
i have a problem with my 3 plants; they wont start to flower and its been over 3 weeks ..
the seeds are from eva seeds and the strain name is Monster
i have grow tent and the timer is on 12/12
i grow in dwc bucket.
and 400 w hps
and 250 w cfl

they dont show any sex at all

If you're positive that your lights are set to 12/12, all you can really do, is wait. There's not really any magic tricks that'll spring them into action, other than the photoperiod change. IDK man, that seems like an awful long time. My only guess, is that it just happens to be a trait of that strain. Being that they're in a tent, I don't think it could possibly be a light leak issue.


Hmm....I don't want this to sound offensive, but I have to at least ask, because I have seen it happen before.....is your timer switch in the right position? I've seen guys leaving the switch to the "on" position, while setting their hours to 12/12, then forgetting to put it back in "timer mode". They had their lights in 24/0 and never realized it, til the plants wouldn't start flowering. It's a rare mistake, but I had to ask.

okey i just keep watching them grow then ... but i cany wait forever ...
yeh i have the timer on my fifth grow ....

i have never had this problem earlier

my english is not that great i am from sweden

pictures would help, i mean not flowering at all? no preflowers? nothing?

Sorry man, but a boost in K won't speed things up any, unless they are already lacking.


I'm with silasx, in that some pics would certainly help. Any white pistils anywhere?

i use ghe bloom grow and micro ..

Hell, I don't see any preflowers, either. Wow man, that's a tough one. They don't look like they've started stretching, either. Hmm....I don't know, I'm at a loss for words.



Are there any strains that actually take that long to start flowering? Anyone? I've grown a handful myself, have read about many, but never came across anything that took that long to start flowering.

I was thinking that, too. I'm not a fan of extended darkness, but sheesh, what's wrong with those things? *scratches head* *brain is smoking* *goes and grabs a cup of coffee*lol

but i still dont know what to do i have tried a 48 dark period already....

the nutes have always worked out fine for me

ph and ec is also fine

thanks

strain info http://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Monster/Eva_Female_Seeds/

they vegged for 3-4 weeks is it to short always worked for me earlier with diffrent seeds

should i toss it away and start my phatty fruity seeds from barney instead

They have it listed as a 9-10 week strain, which is pretty normal. I can't think if any reason 'why' they would be delayed like that. What hours did you use for vegging?(I'm sorry if you already mentioned it. I can't remember.lol) Were there any major problems with your light schedule, in late veg? Are you positive your grow tent is sealed from large light leaks? The plants look pretty healthy, so I can't think of anything else that would cause your problem. *brain starts smoking again**goes back to drinking coffee, while thinking*

i vegged them with 24 h light yeh iknow its stressfull ,, but it worked for me all other times..
maybe its an issue

more tips people help me

Um most plants from seed dont show sex until around the6- 8 week mark in veg. 24 hours isn't the problem.. I saw you vegged for 3 weeks... Give it a little more time. Are you SURE you havent seen pre-flowers yet? They are hard to spot at first.

Just looked at the pics again and the plant isn't mature yet. Normally on most strains you will see the fan leaves go from a symmetrical shape to alternating in almost a stair step pattern. You should get pre-flowers any day now.

only used seeds earlier and vegged for like 3-4 weeks before setting them in bloom never had any problem before... this time they vegged for over 3 week and its had gone more then 3 week in bloom now..

All strains are different......

they just taken a little shower
