HELP! My plant isn't producing bud!

Ive had this plant in flowering for about 4.5 weeks now and still no bud! The plant is smothered in hairs under a 400W MH and some of the hairs are even starting to mature without the bud. The plant gets moved from a light room which is set at 78 deg for 10 hrs daily to a dark room with a temp of 65 any suggestions??

your plant should be on a 12 hr lights on, 12 hr lights off to flower properly. Your temps seem great but the 10hrs a day isnt really enough.

just make sure there is light for 12 hours, then absolutely no light for the other 12 hours, check for light leeks that could be screwing things up

give it 12/12. Make sure it's in complete darkness.
A HPS is better for flowering, MH will give you smaller nugs. Also the "hairs" form the nugs...
What's the distance from the light, what nutes, what's the pH of the water, how often do you water, what pot size, how old is the plant?

this was just a bag seed so the only nutes this plant ever got was miracle grow every 10 days. PH is 5.5, and i water when the soil is completely dry usually 4 times a week, pot size is 5 gallon... there has been some small light leaks so ill be sure to fix that
thanks!!

a 5 gallon pot should not be water that many times a week. My plants in 3 gallons of soil need to get watered every 10 days. Also what is the readout of the fertilizer, too much nitrogen will retard bud growth
