When should I start worrying?

[curious618]

Both my plants are just now into Week 4 flower, and I don’t see any definitive male/female/Hermie parts yet and I don’t see any bud sites forming yet. I can smell them and they have definitely stretched. I just fed half strength flower nutes a few days ago. I am watering when the pot is light, lights are on 12/12 about 14in above the top of the plants with the dimmer turned all the way down. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Did I miss something?

Dose not sound like you have so take a big breath in let it out slowly give it some more time

they do look a little slow for week 4. so you're saying its been at least 21 nights of 12 hours of total darkness?

first thing i would check would be to make sure the space is light proof and timers are functioning properly.

Were these pics taken after a big watering? I ask because of the look of some of the lower leaves. I also see some edge raising on some of the other leaves. Whats the max temp durring lights on? 14 inches with how many watts? Type of light? And the sexing issue will be solved with time just like the other guy said. Focus on keeping them prime.

Second this.

Yep 21 days of 12/12. Space is light proof. Tape over the dehumi light. No other light sources. The tent is in a dark shed, sprayed the little light holes with spray insulation.

were they 12/12 from seed? or shortly thereafter? they look like they are just about to start flowing.

It’s a Chinese knockoff 240W QB. I don’t what the dimmer levels are but it is turned all the way down.

they look good and healthy. so keep doing what ur doing. if they get 12 hours of darkness they will start flowering eventually.

if you start plants 12/12 from seed they don't go straight into flower they veg first until theyre sexually mature and then start to flower, despite being under 12/12

 

[curious618]

They were 6-7 weeks in veg at 18/6 and they have been 12/12 for 3 weeks now, just starting week 4.

huh. Maybe just slow growers. what size is your space? you should be able to turn your light up now.

It’s a 2x4x5 tent. They were bagseeds so I’m not sure of the genetics or anything. I might try turning the light up a smidge see if that helps. And I’ll for sure be checking the timers just to be on the safe side.

 

[Jeffislovinlife]

Shit you might be waiting up to 10 weeks before you see anything hopefully you won't but the plant going to do what the lady is going to do good luck with your lady's never stop doing what you are doing

Damn nice! Mine are WAY behind. Damn bagseeds and random unknown genetics. Don’t even know if they’re both female!!! Haha. I’m pretty sure the topped one is.

I don't know about why they are not flowering but stop with the bloom food. It's to soon and probably why the new growth is yellowing in the 1st picture. Hard to see without zooming in, they look good from a distance.

All it means is, your plants were fully matured to start flowering yet. They have to show preflowers before you flower, otherwise it’ll continue growing until it’s mature and then start flowering

Can I leave it on the 12/12 light cycle and it will start flowering when it’s ready?

That half dose was the first time I fed them. I’ll cut it off for a few weeks.
