I've read that if the plant hasn't reached sexual maturity yet, nothing is going to make it flower if it's not ready. I have three Purple Kush flowering right now. Two of them showed obvious pistils and alternating nodes before the 12/12 switch, and they started flowering within a few days. The other one showed nothing before the switch and it took a couple weeks to even show hairs. I can see now that it's definitely more of a sativa pheno, but it wasn't so obvious before. It's budding like crazy now, but it took some time. Genetics seem to play a huge role, and if the plant isn't ready, it's going to make you wait.
This makes allot of sense. There were no preflowers before my 12/12 switch. That may explain why I am barely seeing signs of sex now, two weeks into flowering. The strain in a mostly indica. At this point, I am going to hang tight, and see where I am in another week. I figure i should at least see some more signs of maturity by then.
