good. that light was likely the issue...i have a black domina chilling on my porch and it has not started flowering (it is a 45-50 day flowerer). i always leave the damn porch light on by accident and it hasn't started flowering yet. i'll have to put it in the closet at night i guess.
thanks for this thread, i was about to ask the same thing already knowing the answer

Thanks man, I was hoping someone else was having this problem. I just had some black domina the other week and it was excellent. Great strain.

One year a seed supplier sent me their ´free´ seeds. They were some ultra sativa that just never began to flower - whilst all my Sweet cindy were well into it.
Eventually I pulled them up and put them on the compost heap.

I believe you are experiencing a light interruption like I was. Just 2 days of complete darkness( turned of lights in back yard and porchlight my dog was always setting off) and she's flowering. All the pistols on mine were turning that pinkish orange color but now white emerged beneath them

The outside light pollution is the problem. It only takes 10 ft. candles of light to inhibit flowering during the dark period. Remove the lights or try to shield the plants from the light with some kind of cover. If this is not possible try to turn the lights off for the dark period.

That's strange man. I have one Nirvana NL in the woods and it started flowering the first or second week of August. It was the last one out of my 4 girls (all different strains) to start flowering though. Maybe there is some kind of ambient light keeping it in veg. I'm surprised how many threads I've read in the past week or so about outdoor plants not flowering yet.

I had a backyard light and porch light that was disturbing the cycle. I turned them both off 2 days ago and both my plants are flowering now

Good to hear man. So far I'm really liking mine with mine. I LSTed and FIMed mine and the amount of budsites is impressive. Got 3 colas from the FIM and they are close to 2' long and solid bud. Can't wait to try it indoors. About a month into flowering and practically no smell.

Read this before you criticize.

"Light at very low intensities, i.e, civil twilight, is sufficient to induce photoperiodic responses in plants. For example, light intensity of less than 2 ft-c is sufficient to inhibit normal flower bud initiation in poinsettia, a short-day (SD) species for flowering."
and: "How Much Light to Expect:
Average lit room is about 7 foot candles
Summer days can be close to 12,000 Foot Candles
Cloudy days can vary from around 1,000 to below 300 Foot Candles
Full Moon Light- .02 Foot Candles
Starlight- .000011 "
Please do some due diligence before bashing, you might learn something about photoperiodism.
Heynow, I live in norcal. And I have 8 plants in my yard. 7 out of 8 are atleast 3 or 4 weeks into budding. But the one carimalishous clone from organicann is still not budding. It has preflower hairs here and there. But no bud sites forming and it's a nice ass bush. Has anyone ever heard of plant just never budding
