Make sure there is no light leaks and make sure it has reached maturity(it will have alternating nodes)

although this is odd, it happened to me with a 4 plant grow, none flowered for like 3 weeks. they did start flowering eventually and after they started, i noticed that my heater was giving off a good amount of light. make sure your not still using veg nutes, no light leaks 100% positive, and im not too familiar with using led's, but i also had my hps too close which slowed its flowering. so light distance may be an issue. give em time, they will start if your doing those things right

the cold dos slow growth rate and using a led light theres no real heat... check the temp if its below 65 the yes it will take longer to flower and grow.. plus side it get more time to build the thc in the bud when it dos start to bud so ull be happy... just let em go..

change the lights to 10/14 too boost the flowering hormones.. once u see flowering growth accelerate u can switch back to 12/12.

I would like to know where you purchased GDP seeds as I thought this was clone only, I just bought some other purp strain as I was unable to locate any seedbanks with GDP

I think your biggest problem is your over night low temp. You ought to get yourself a small space heater so the plant never sees an over night low less than 65. And try and get it up in the high 70's during lights on.
