why wont my plants flower?

[potmaster]

i changed the light setting 12 days ago and still no flowers. i looked w/ a $9 magnigying glass but saw no hairs or sacks. my plants are clustered due to space issues. 9 plants about 5 or 6 inches apart. there about 32 inch tall. they are hydroponically growing with a 400 watt hps light. i feed it flowering nutrients and mkaintain water levels. today i changed the light setting grom 12/12 to 10/14 (Light/dARK). the plants are sort of curving, there stems grow outwards and the main stem curves horizontal almost on a couple of the plants. and they're not directly under the hps light. they are about 35 degreess to the left. Can any body tell me what could be wrong

you are doing everything fine. The time it takes to see the sex depends on the strain. Some strains will tell you within 4 to 10 days. Others just might take longer. If you haven't seen a single pistil pop out on them... You may have some boys and no girls. Give it another week and by that time you should definitely have little pollen sacs or pistils. Or both if a hermie.

also make sure they are in pitch dark during the night cycle. Any light leaks could keep them in veg mode.

And stop double posting and study Stinky's thread on growing for noobs.

Temperature helps alot also. Nice to have about 5-10f degree difference between night and day.
