From seed usually takes me 6to8 week before its properly mature ready to flower the two week difference is with strain

Any film before its out of cinema all so

Yeah they probably wasn't mature when u flipped them.
Did they have pre flowers/ staggered nodes?
If not then it wasn't mature and will have to add one the extra time it took to start
its a clone so its mature

Small light leak maybe?

I had this once it was a lights on power strip took 4 week to start and was very slow
nah cupboard is 110% pitch black lol, tbh tho i think its is the haze influence in the cross ( Exodus cheese C/O x Unknown mexican haze) more than anything environmental as its so far been one of the slowest flowering plants ive ever ran, today is 8wks from 12/12 flip n they barely look like they are 6 wks, which would account for the 2 weeks it took to flip into flower properl

dan severn was a warrior, like tom selleck on roids!. i agree boxing is dead, don't see what the big attraction still is

blame the cycle of the moon ribena, i'm serious. if everything else is in order thats one thing most people don't think to check but it is more than an old wives tale, farmers been using it for thousands of years.

i thought that was only applicable to outdoor plants that "see" the light/weather changes?

it is more to do with gravitational pull i think, if it can affect the tides of the sea then it is certainly strong enough to influence water uptake in a plant. i always try and harvest at or shortly after a full moon, it feels good in my head and i get some pretty heavy yields so i'll happily continue my broscience til yorkie gets here :D

lol man that's bs sorry to say, the phase of the moon has nothing to do with its gravity field

just found this elsewhere on the matter......

Planting by the moon is a practice as old as agriculture.
The earth is a large gravitational field, influenced by the moon & sun.
Just as the moon (full & new) pulls on the tides so it also affects other subtle bodies of water, causing moisture to rise in the earth, which encourages growth.
Plants sown in the correct combination of lunar & zodiac phases show increased vigor.

New Moon (lunar gravity pulls water up)
-good time to soak / plant seeds for germination.
-in the following days, the increasing moonlight creates balanced root & leaf growth.
-best time for planting above ground annual crops that have their seeds outside the fruit (lettuce, spinach etc & grain crops)


Second Quarter (looks like a capital D)
-less gravitational pull but the increasing light creates strong leaf growth.
-good time for above ground annuals that produce seeds inside the fruit (beans, melons, tomatoes)
-mow lawns to increase growth.

Full Moon
-high gravitational pull creates more moisture in the ground = growth
-plants absorb more moisture at full moon.
-decreasing light in the following days displaces energy to the roots.
-good time to plant root crops, perennials and bulbs.
-active root growth favours transplanting.

Fourth Quarter
-decreased gravitational pull & light renders this a resting period.
-good time to cultivate, harvest, prune, transplant, multiply (clone), control parasites & weeds.
-mow lawns to retard growth.

This goes further into biodynamics by proven experiments on the weight of crops, showing that the zodiac signs also play their part in planting times.

-Root crops & transplants respond better when planted in earth signs.
-Leaf crops in water signs
-Flowering & herb crops in air signs, especially Libra
-Harvesting in fire signs (dry, so ideal for preservation & storage in combo with fourth quarter phase)
-Weeding in Leo.
-Pruning in Scorpio

These responses were heightened when using organic soil.
If you are into astrology, you will know that inbetween signs is a Lunar Void, so hold off making any major starts or finishes.
happy growing!

i do what works for me. ever tried it?
no I do understand this is biodynamic principles that are based on Rudolph steiners work and no I havnt tried it cos I gro in tents indoors where the moon don't shine, its all a bit too romantic for my mind and as for astrology and stuff...welllll....ummmm.not too sure mystic meg could help with my grow tbh

Think GHB is on about the gravitational pull of the moon mate not the light affecting the plants
