from what i understand, a mh bulb isn't good at all for flowering, i'm not sure if it will or won't flower with it, i just know it's not good for flower

m/h will work for flowering. if you dont have a light leak..... sometimes shit like this happends. my last indoor harvest took almost 4 fucking weeks to show females, and last time with same strain it only took 2. just be patiant and keep checking

Sounds to me like you either have a case of bad genetics or a light leak. In the case of bad genetics, this does sometimes happen. I have never personally seen it, but have heard many stories about plants that will not flower.

a MH is not ideal for flowering but WILL work. in my experience a MH actually produces brighter colored flowers than an HPS (which is the only advantage i can think of).

are you POSITIVE you do not have light leaks in your room? If you do then that is definetly what is keeping your plants in veg.

Typically a plant takes anywhere from 1-8 days to begin it's flowering cycle once the light cycle has been flippped to 12/12 so if your going 17 days with no signs of flowers something is DEFINETLY going on. good luck bud... My suggestion is getting new genetics and resealing the room. just my 2cents
