Not Flowering?

[jswett1100]

My plant still isnt flowering?! and i have no idea why? i live in maine and other people i know say there plants started like a week ago.

 

[Mr.Marijuana420]

be patient, its early anyway, about 95% of mine arent flowering, howerver most are now undergoing stretch

At lat 45.2 which is around central Maine the daylight hours are still a bit over 13 hours a day. 13.3 to be exact. You shouldn't be worried unless the light hours gets well below 13 and still nothing. The daylight hours will rapidly decline below 13 hours the first week of September in your area. The lowest point in Maine is just going under 13 hours now. So maybe they live south of you.... or maybe its just your strain. idk hope I eased your mind a bit.

Mine started a couple of weeks ago, but I'm at 40. I gave one last blast of high N fertilizer then fed nothing for a couple of weeks in prep for the high P ferts. Sprayed the neem oil for the last time yesterday. Yours will start soon. If you are giving high N, consider stopping now.

It depends on location and strain some genetics take longer to begin bloom then others.

 

[Kaendar]

Yea dude its just your genetics. You have a strain or strains that are late flowerers. Dont worry bout it..

Just to be sure you covered all your bases.. Make sure she is not exposed to any other source of light during Dark time.. ie. A street light.. Patio light, motion sensor lights.. ect. These things "Could" keep a plant in veg, if not careful.

I'm in new England, some of mine haven't even shown sex yet..relax..

Thats a myth for the most part. Think about all the ppl (like me) that grow outdoors in very dense urban areas. Lights everywhere. Ive never had a problem with that.

LOL.. No its not. I live in a very dense urban area, and the 1000w HPS street lights will keep my plant in veg all season if I let it. I have to make sure at night, they are in the shadows of my backyard, where the light doesn't shine. I tested it out last year, and left one in the light cast in my grass by the street light (which is about 100 ft away) It went till the end of Aug not budding.. Then I moved it into the shadows at night for a week and a half, and it started budding. Don't tell me.. That was a late strain too?

And I didn't say it will happen every time, just that it "Could" and to make sure all bases were covered.

Try moving it to a really dark place try putting some type of bloom plant food helps but don't over do it could. Steers plant into turning male that's what happened to 1 of mine you saw the picture. Before

 

[haze toker]

Or try topping helped mine extremely

 

[haze toker]

It showed sex after that but did strees my plant some what

terrible experiment. if u wood have done it correctly ud have 2 plants. 1 n street/patio light 1 not. then compare. u left it n a lil extra light then moved it to complete darkness n sed it flowered... well no shit sherlock thats basic 101! tbh IMO ya a lil extra light could extend veg (or cause herms!) but then again the moon is a pretty big light 2

All of my plants are directly under a street light thats on the other side of the fence. They are all starting to flower. If they were as sensitive as you say, the moon wud be fuckin up everybodies harvest

bull, I doubt street lights are HPS... probably something more efficient... I have street lights running up the street that runs through the hills, which is right behind my backyard. There are 2 street lights one of each end of the property, about 10 feet from my back gate. I have a few plants that are flowering, and 2 that have not started. The street lights make it so you can see my plants but if you look at them all of there leaves are drooped to the ground. indicating they are sleeping. SOOO OBVIOUSLY this is having no effect on the plants, they probably learned how to deal with it or something...

This is very true the moon can reflect up to 40% of the suns light, last night (if you google it, depending on your location) the moon was reflecting 10-15% of the suns light. Which if the sun is 100000 lumens then that is 10000 lumens reflecting back towards your plants (not really, but its still a good portion of light). Meaning your plants would be awake all night.

you can force the plant to flower......... lock her up in a 100% dark room for 36 hours (this works if you can keep her from getting more then about 7 hours sun after you unlock her (easy to do put her in indirect sunlight)
Once she has been tricked into thinking all the light in her little word has gone for good she will flower. Had to do this my 1st grow since I was low on meds.

those don't look like HPS to you?? I would do some research before you try to go up against facts.

The experiment was not terrible. I proved to myself that by keeping it in the street light, it kept it from budding, compared to the second one, of the same strain, that was kept in the shadows, that started flowering a few weeks earlier. If you read my first post, you would have seen that's all I was trying to point out to the OP. Basic 101, light in dark time can keep your plants in veg... and prevent them from flowering. It was Kaendar who said it was a myth.

ALMOST right sir.. We are currently changing them out in my province of Canada.. I can actually go to the city, and buy the old HPS bulbs at a steal of a price. See the link below.
