How long was she in Veg before switching to 12/12?

Got pics?
I have 2 strains(phenos?) going that have almost no hair at all, but they definately show that they're flowering.
Most likely a light problem being 3 weeks of 12/12.
The room has to be as dark as a moonless night, and NO DIRECT LIGHT whatsoever.
Anyway, do your plants resemble these, at all?
Edit: And like m4a2 & L33 said.

Yes Smokinrav I do know what to look for, the white pistels. There are no direct light leaks at all when the lights are off. The Temp. averages about 81 degrees and rez temp about 77 degrees. I just don't know what is wrong.

She was in Veg about 27 days before the 12/12 switch.

Those pics are really small.
How long was your plant in veg before you switched to 12/12? Or was it 12/12 from seed? If you went 12/12 from you seed you may have to wait, well, who knows, could be a day or two, could be 3 weeks depending on the strain.
EDIT: nv/m Yeah there should be something.

The room is very dark and no direct light leaks that can penetrate the grow cab. I am using T5s 6500K. I just don't know what the problem is.

I changed the url on those pcis so they're not thumbnails and I don't see anything.
I say it's most likely a light leak.
What strain is it?

Billybob420, 27 days of veg then switch to 12/12. It is White Widow strain from BC. I am confused as to why she is not showing yet and I am concerned that I will have to cut her down.

It is White Widow. Beans from BC. My grow box is a My Grow Buddy. The lights go off at 12 noon and come on at 12 midnight. The room is dark during the day, windows covered. The only time I have the doors open is when the lights are on, I do that to keep the box temps down.

Smokinrav, yes I have seen the lights come on and go off, set for 12/12. The box temp averages around 82 degrees. PH is always 5.5 to 6.0. Rez temp average is about 76 degrees. I use the Lucas Formula, micro and bloom. I had one bag seed plant that turned out to be male, it is long gone. I have looked the plant over from every vantage point I can and I do not see anything that would indicate sex either male or female. It is frustrating to say the least. The lights are T5s. I have two 6500k and two 2700K. I can't think of anything else to say. There are no direct light leaks that I can detect. So what do you think the verdict is?

Let me ask you, do you have other plants in the room that are showing sex and flowering since you've switched to 12/12?
I gotta say it looks healthy but I can see no signs of sex.. Are you sure you didn't order an Automatic flowering plant? If not I'd check my timer, then double check, then check it again. There is no reason you shouldn't have at least some budding at this point.
I say it's a light leak or timer malfunction, goodluck.
Also is this your first grow?

There are two other White Widows that are small, they are not showing any signs of flowering either. The girls seem to be healthy enough. These were from photoperiod beans, no autos. I have checked the timer several times. When the lights are off there is no way for direct light leaks. This is my second grow of White Widow. The first grow was good. I am perplexed to say the least.

I just don't think they're getting 12 hours on and 12 hours off.... 23 days of flowering should have caused flowering to start by now.
Something is up with your lights, re check everything, reset your timer.
Are you 100% sure it's been 23 days?
I've never had a strain go longer than 14 days of 12/12 without showing me something.
