Ok, so I've been growing my plant since december...its huge...like 9 feet tall, no joke. I've posted pics up some time ago. So there are pistils, but they arent growing!! I have been keeping it at 12/12 though admittedly there are some times when my timing is a little off.
I'm thinking that maybe im overfeeding my plant with nutes? its 20% nitrogen. How often should i be feeding it? should i change my nutes?

Well Crazypumpkin,
If I were you I would begin by getting a new timer. Next you should visit my second favorite site FoxFarm Soil & Fertilizer Company (http://foxfarmfertilizer.com/) you may learn something if you take your time. But what do I know?

the only thing I've heard is the lighting, apparently when flowering, plants should receive 12 hours of absolute light and 12 of absolute darkness no in betweens, which is why I couldn't force flower some earlier this year. Not sure but the experts would definitely know.

It sounds like your outdoor growing, is that correct? Whether or not we can be of any real help depends on whether you can get some pics posted of that monster. That's the ONLY way we can judge your nute issues or if there are any nute issues. Try to get some pics posted in your thread here. Then we can be of more help.

Yeah, definitely check for light leaks. How tall are your ceilings? Something sounds inaccurate here..

Sorry, went back to your other thread and saw your pics.. I presume you have bent the plant over. What do you use to block out the light at night? There should be more of an enclosed environment than what I saw in your pic unless that whole room is for nothing but your plants (I mean, never ever go in there during the dark period. To check for light coming in go in there with the lights off in the middle of your light period.) Maybe there is light coming from under the doorway. Oh, and grow shops or head shops generally mark up WAAY above and beyond what you should pay for grow equipment. Of course, they could always end up getting busted for selling legit, legal products, so I guess they are assuming a huge risk there too.

Yeah, I've bent it at this point, theres no other way it will fit! Maybe I've been getting it too much light then...i live in a one room apartment so the only place i can put my plant is in this "in between" room between the bathroom and my suite, but obviously some times i need to use the bathroom. Is this the reason why do ya think?
my plant is even taller than it was in the earler pic i took...should i be changing my nutes? what should i change them to? and how often should i nute?
ill work on getting a pic on this thread...the only cam i have is a cam phone and i cant get any quality close ups with that.

yo man if u are the type of the guy that goes to toilet at night its sure that the reason u dont have flowers , theres only one way to have some posiblities to flower it throwfully , dont open lights at night !!!! at least replace the toilet bulds for 1 litle green buld and still , dont light up the toilet at night !
What i'd do , cut the faker to the half or even more , get a few clones and after that try to flo

Yeah, what is flo? Anyway, yeah, if there's light getting in during your 12 off it will stop it from flowering for sure... I wonder what are the chances for someone to finally come up with a good ruderalis hybrid which autoflowers? Maybe someone here should try and share seeds with all of us and then get rich! ;)

12/12 is not something you mes around with. If you can't find a space in your home to guarantee perfect, uninterrupted 12/12, you have no choice but to grow outdoors.
