Plants won't flower!

[wisco61]

The first one is definately female. The hairs exploded over night, it looks like its gonna be a nice plant as long as I can keep stress to a minimum and prevent too much hermie action. I did pick off the balls I saw, just 2 so far. Will keep a close eye on her. The second was definately a male. The balls exploded as well overnight . I cut it down, got it sitting in a glass of water to ghetto flush it a little then will do something with the leaves. One of my plants in veg showed what I believe are pretty clear female preflowers, so I threw that into the flower closet to take up the vacated area under the cfls. That leaves me one bagseed plant left in veg, though a clone of it is in the flower room so I should have the first stage of my first grow complete soon. I'll try and get hold of a camera to snap a cpl pics.

Thanks to everyone who gave advice and commented on this thread, it is much appreciated and was enlightening.

I got 2 White Lady seedlings I just started, so hopefully I learned from some of my mistakes and am growing some good genetics soon Anyway you look at it, I figure I should be harvesting some decent bagseed right around my birthday, yay me!!! :rastasmoke:

wisco61 Reviewed by wisco61 on 10-26-2007. Plants won't flower! OK, so heres the deal. I have 2 plants (bagseed) I vegged for about 6 weeks, then put into 12/12 on Oct 1st. So its been 18 days and they haven't flowered at all. I had some light leaks at first, but the closet is 99% lightproof for the last 10 days or so. I have them in 3 gal pots with 6x26w cfl and 2x42w cfl on them for a total of 240 watts of CFL. So I'm wondering if it is normal for plants to take this long to go into flower, or is something else going on? Thanks in advance for Rating: 5

All I was trying to say (and I believe I said it) is that there is no 'wrong' CFL for flowering cannabis. They will all give satisfactory results.
I stand by that statement.

All I was trying to say is that I disagree. I firmly believe that blue-spectrum bulbs are not proper for flowering, unless they are mixed with a greater proportion of red. Sure you can flower with MH, but that's blue and it won't give you near the yield that HPS would, which is of course reddish.

Of course there are wrong ways of doing things, but there is no one right way. I'm sorry that I hinted you were doing things wrong. If the THC hits your brain you did it the right way.

Cheers.

this is my first try so its all invaluable experience

That's what the first one is all about. That, and trying to have a little fun and perhaps end up with something to smoke.

Continued good luck on this and future grows.
