Won't Flower

The onset of flowering can be slow. My last blueberry went nearly four weeks before starting to flower noticeably well. There is no problem with LED, great lights. However spectrums do affect growth. For instance while vegging I use a pure blue led. At the transition into flower (1 month after), I switch to a purple led (adds slight red but mostly blue still). At month two when I go full flower I swap out the purple for an almost all red or magenta led (has a hair of blue light to keep a mixed spectrum but 75% red). Then nearing the final 4 weeks I throw in another 100% pure red led spot light, to really swell and ripen things nicely.

Thanks for that.... my main concern now is what I do with the plants a far as height goes?.. can't possibly get any higher

Well, sometimes they stretch a little more in full flower. I just keep a tape on the highest colas, and measure up to the led lens daily. I have seen led start to bleach when too close to tops. That cant be good! I gradually work the led's down to about 12" over tops in flower.
