There’s actually a week of transition that you didn’t account for. Flower doesn’t really start until after that week. So if you are 23 days into the flip, you are actually only 16 days in. Give it another week and you will start to see flowers.

This and using MH to initiate flowering. Be patient. They look good.

So I shouldn’t use mh for the first 2 weeks of flower?

They look like they might lean sativa dom too which would take longer. Make sure you have no light leaks just in case.

Clm307 · Jun 2, 2020

They are master kush which is almost pure indica I believe???

Personally I do to help limit early stretch. The lack of red slows flowering. I have said on here before it extends flowering time from my experience up to 2 weeks. But I had people rebut that.

I only run LEDS, so I don’t know about the MH’s.

Damn 28 days is a long time, you sure you've set the timer correctly, I would be double checking that, cheap mechanical ones I find best, digital ones can fuck up!

I know right ...,yeah I double checked timer it is the cheap mechanical ones.... checked for light leaks ... I don’t get it... my best guess is high temps

Maybe that is why it seems like they are taking forever

I underestimated one here recently, I grew one before that was short and bushy, but this bitch shot up fast

How long did you veg for before you flipped them to 12/12? If the plants were not sexually mature then they will take longer to transition into flower.

Just keep them on 12/12 and wait for the magic. Don’t worry about counting flowering time the plants will be done when they are done, not based on a calander.

My current run I had several strains with decent sized buds befoe few other strains even began flowering. Some just take lil longer to start up
