Has it been growing at a rapid rate? If so the plant is indeed in flowering mode and miht just take a little longer to show sex. Goodluck.
could i decrease the light tp 10/14 without any bad side effects?

would just a lil like that effect it
yes it could.
Put a towel under the door and hang something to cover the length of the door crack.
Don't open the door to look at those ladies when it is lights out.
NO LIGHT!
Keep it 12/12 and wait a week, give it 2 if needed but you shouldn't.
No Light :D
dude ur plant is only 45 days old and 14 of those days you have forced flowering onto them giving there age a grand total of only 31 days vegg....slow down...take your time if your getting pissed now you might as well yank them up cuz youll be even more pissed when they have been flowering for 30 days and you need to let them flower for another 30 just so the buds will get huge.....slow down man your way ahead of your self....Dark means dark....NO LIGHT ....its not a secret....do some reading on flowering and you would have known even that little bit could affect it...i did the same shit on my first grow and i didnt see any sex for damn near 30 days since i was letting it get interupeted.....just slow down...take your time....do your part...and they will do theres....but i strongly suggest getting something real dark put over ur light leaks cuz that will definatly piss you off when you have to wait forever like i did....peace :D
lowering the light will decrece the yeild!Quote:

the crack in the door shouldn't effect the flowering unless it's alot of light, but it may, alot depends on the strain; some strains flower later than others and some are more susceptible to light.
i recomend you to take it easy man... you are rushing it to show sex... i normaly let them be for like almost or about 2 months then i sex them, and sometimes, i have let them show the sex naturaly, wich takes about 3 months... but thats just my experience
got pic?
here it isQuote:

Bro theres a horomone that builds up in your plants when the lights are on but I'm too fucking stoned to remember the name of it right now. Anyways when any amount of light touches the plants (any amount) the horomone level drops and the plants then revert back to vegitative growth and therefore must build those horomone levels back up all over again. So treat your plants like Gizmo from gremlins and no light at all.
Ahh....Bright Light Bright Light!!!
damn that poor thing looks droopy as hell....
Looks stretched. Is it relying on that post for support? If it is you better beef up that stock.
That's not correct. By switching the light cycle to 10-on, 14-off the first 10-14 day's will slow flowering at first but in the end the buds will be larger, denser, and the yield will in fact increase.Quote:

i was wodering what would happen f you did that too....
i imagin it wold mature faster but smaller buds... zandor do you have any
good info in this subject dude i'm at 5 weeks flowering amlost and also wanna know abit more about it before i go off 12/12 to 10/14 or similer
this pic is at 4weeks 12/12
Read again it's only something you do at the beginning of the cycle like in the first 10 to 14 day's after that you use the regular 12/12 cycle.Quote:

Keep a log of your plants and record how they react to different light cycles. Different strains will react to light cycles in their own way and itâ??s fun and interesting to learn too. Thatâ??s why we keep records of past grows and we do look over out past work. Itâ??s a good way to help in deciding the best way to deal with problems and even what and how to grow the next strain. Try it your self and keep your records.
Thanks zandor your much help
i was going to change it now.....
how do you remembe all that info.. i have read alot but still learn alot each day
