Why isnt my plant budding

Im currently growing 1 master kush plant (first serious grow) and i switched it to 12/12 almost 6 weeks ago and its not shown any signs of budding. Ive been able to identify it as female, it has complete darkness, it grows under 2 125w cfl lights, and i started the grow about 2-2.5 months ago. I have no clue whats happening or if it will ever bud, anybody got any tips/info?

Patients is the key to success

6 weeks in 12/12 and no sign of budz at all? HMMMM...

Are you sure it has complete darkness?
Are you sure your timer is working right?
What has the growth been like since u flipped?

check your timer isnt faulty/set right, its the only thing it could be

Im 100% positive that it is in complete darkness and the plant seemed to rapidly grow in height and grew a lot more leaves. my timer isnt faulty as i checked the times the lights turn off and on and it does equal 12 hours of light and dark

My timer isnt faulty and there is no other obvious cause thats why im asking.

A picture will help folks diagnose. Could be something like N tox or another issue causing stress that's delaying the onset of flowering. Impossible to tell without seeing a pic and having some details on medium, nutes, temps, humidity. everything you can tell us.

The light cycle switch tells the plant that it's time to start producing flower. The reason why it's not producing is because the plant still believes it has more time to keep vegging. Ya can't tell me that their isn't a problem with your grow room because their is.

I'm not saying you're wrong - but have you physically slowly dialled the timer all the way through the night cycle while its powered normally to check? It only takes ONE pin to burn out- 15 mins of light in a whole 12 hours....
What's your timer brand?

Next question- do you have a photo?
If it's showing sex then it tells me you're going in the right direction. But a picture really would show a thousand words, so we could look for any sign of a calyx or anything else.

Greetings, so the plant was about 2 weeks old when you flipped it? 6 weeks of flower = 8 weeks old plant?

The brand of the timer is KingShield, its a manual timer and the plant is showing calyx however it did get quite unhealthy during the few days of extremely hot weather we had in the UK but that seems to have been fixed for the most part

No i flipped it 6 weeks ago but it was growing for about 1.5-2 months before

The temp has stayed fairly constant roughly 15-23C apart from the few days of really hot weather which caused some heat stress, the humidity has stayed low because the last time i tried to raise humidity in the tent it got mildew, the medium is coco coir, in the earlier weeks of growth it got nute burn so i reduced the amount of nutrients used

ditch the timer, just unplug your light for a couple of days and make sure if you have any vents on your grow area that they are not allowing light inside. i see your using a tent. get inside of it literally stand in there, with bright lights " ON " outside of the tent. have someone help you if you need it to close the tent while your inside of it with lights " OFF INSIDE TENT ". next wait in there for a few minutes. DO NOT play with your phone or anything else that makes light, you need your eyes to adjust to the darkness. After a few minutes of playing with yourself, you will easily be able to find a light leak from within. youd be surprised how well the reflective tents are at shining a tiny light leak all over the damn place.

That pic shows clawing, which can be a symptom of N tox, could also be other things like over watering but its a problem! Could be the reason its not flowering. I have heard of delayed flowering but not to the extent you have had. Weather sure has been hot in the UK ey, I used to love the heat till I started growing!
