When should I start worrying?

I've got one going that wanted to be a slow starter. I switched lights to an 11/13 schedule three days ago and have pistils developing now.
Might give that a shot for a few days and see if it helps.
Just try a 6/18 and see if that helps. Maybe it will bud faster

Ok so here we are in Week 5. Still no buds or male/female parts that I can see. I have switched to 11/13 light schedule. No nutes. Just water when the pot gets light.

Are you 100% sure the timer is working properly and not giving some light during the dark period? The longest I have waited for a strain to show sex after flip was with GMO, she took a good month to show sex and start flowering, the stretch phase was doubled and the plants were massive. 5 weeks is a long ass time, something must be messing with the dark period.

Maybe it's an auto and will start flowering in it's own time? I honestly have never grown an auto and never plan to so I am no expert on them.

Both my plants are just now into Week 4 flower, and I don’t see any definitive male/female/Hermie parts yet and I don’t see any bud sites forming yet. I can smell them and they have definitely stretched. I just fed half strength flower nutes a few days ago. I am watering when the pot is light, lights are on 12/12 about 14in above the top of the plants with the dimmer turned all the way down. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Did I miss something?
they look good. be patient. they will mature when they are ready to
