DNA Genetics Lemon Skunk Not Flowering?!

[Kkdoughboy]

Hi guys, I got a free feminized seed of Lemon Skunk from The Attitude. Vegged the plant for 4 1/2 - 5 weeks before putting it into 12/12. It's been about 5 weeks of 12/12 and their are alternating nodes and preflowers but no bud development yet. My question is...Is this normal for this strain? I've read that this is a 8-9 week flower strain but that ain't gonna happen with my plant or at least it sure doesn't look that way. Anyone have any experience with this strain that can give me some feedback? Thanks y'all!

That ain't right...

Are you sure it's getting a solid 12 hours of darkness?

Here's an Attitude freebie Lemon Skunk (DNA). :thumbsup: She started to flower as expected, about 9 days after the flip to 12/12. She's at 30 days.

Yours must be a giant with all this time vegging! Hope ya can nail down what the problem might be.

Damn! Yeah mine dont look anything like that. Lol, She's def getting complete darkness. She's 42" tall now and has the circumference of a large tire. Still 32 days in and no buds. Have a Hawaiian Sativa x Maui Waui going right next to the Lemon Skunk and she's looking great with buds everywhere. What I normally expect 4 weeks into flower. The Lemon Skunk seems to be growing fine and looks healthy as can be and the roots must be good cause it's sucking up water like crazy. Hmm I just don't know maybe a late bloomer. Thanks for the pics and reply though.

I checked the PH of my tap water and it came in at 7.8 maybe why it hasn't started flowering?! Maybe?

[Kkdoughboy]

35 days in 12/12 and still hasn't started to flower despite female preflowers everywhere and a seemingly healthy looking plant. The only thIng I've noticed is the plants upward growth has slowed but the outward growth hasn't. Any ideas as to what I may do to force this thing to flower? 80 degrees 35% humidity. Fox Farm nutes. Any help is appreciated. Don't wanna have to ditch her

[Stickyrickey]

Maybe try giving some Bushmaster or a dose of bloom nutes. I also thought it was light leak at first, have you sat in the room when its dark to look for leaks? You might be surprised what you see.

[jon420]

Just out of curiosity, what type of lights are you using???:smokin:

[Kkdoughboy]

I'm using a 600W HPS, 400W HPS and FF Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom every third watering. They getting plenty of bloom nutes. Never had a plant not flower before. Weird shit but thanks for all your help

[Kkdoughboy]

And Sticky I checked for light leaks and there aren't any. My other plant is well into it's 5th week of flowering. Thanks guys I'll keep you updated

irrelevant to topic: hi i read that you're growing hawaian skun x maui waui
just wondering how tall is the plant meant to be? because i was planning on growing that but i heard that its over 7ft, is that true?

[Kkdoughboy]

Hey there, I've never had one get much over 5 feet. My current plant was vegged for 4 weeks before I put it into flower. She's now exactly 5 feet tall 5 weeks into flower. She may grow a few more inches. These plants grow amazing with very little effort and produces a nice smoke. Not overpowering. If you vegged the plant for a couple mOnths I could see it getting 7+ feet.

[hamzakhan]

that sounds good
where did you get your seed(s) from?
do you have a grow log on that specific strain
and you seem experienced
how much yield do you get from a standard one plant?

[Kkdoughboy]

The Strain is Hawaiian Sativa X Maui Waui by Nirvana. Buydutchseeds.com has them. Quality genetics I would recommend checking them out. No written grow log just mental notes. As long as you have good soil, lighting and quality nutes you should have no problem growing this strain. Lmk how you make out.

38 days into flower and I think we're starting to see some action! Plant is HUGE! Lower budsites loOk like their starting to flower. Hopefully in a few days I'll knOw for sure if the plant is on the right track. This thing is growing more like Super Lemon Haze than Lemon Skunk. Maybe they mislabeled the free seed?! Hmmm
