[reignparra]

Ok this is my first plant. I have to different plants. I got them from someone and there were like 5 plants in one potter and alot of them were males and so i puled them out and switched them to diff patters and i am using foxfarm soil. i have two lights one is a hps 150 light and the other is a 200 hps light. the 200 hps light is on the plant i am trying to flower and the 150 is on the one with veg growth. i saved both plants the leaves were turning yellow so i went to my local shop and they walked me through how to save it. both plants are very health and i mean very healthy. one is about 3 feet tall and the other alittle smaller. the plants where outside until the got to big and i moved them in a few months back after i got them and had them on 24 hour light as the shop i went to told me it was ok to do that. So about 2 weeks a ago or about 2 and half weeks ago i switched one to 12/12 and started to use foxfarm tiger bloom. the plant doesnt look like the roots are burning but its not budding either. there is alot of new growth on the plany but nothing more. there is no flowering happening and i dont know why. i have pictures of my plants. what is going on? I dont know why it wont flower

Make sure there is no light leaking in during your dark period. Total darkness. Some plants take a few weeks to show sex.

ok i have made a few mistakes with the plant. everyone told me i would cause its my first time. I changed 12/12 5 at night to 5 am but one night the cord was unplugged and i didnt catch it till like 10 and so now i have it set at 10 and 10. could that effect it?

[bobjob4u]

just stay at 12/12 . time will tell. rememer total darkness

Perhaps, "And this is a very big IF", when you brought them inside the massive drop in lumen's would have normally kicked them into flower. OK, except you tried to keep them in vegetative growth stage and they had to revert back. Remind you, this is just theory if we are to think like a plant.... So just upon the fore mentioned adjustment you decide to switch the schedule (and nutes) to the autumn like flower stage. Now the poor confused plants have to switch yet again to flowering stage. Add another couple weeks and maybe this explains the retarded development.

Note: Absolutely NO offense please to mentally disabled folks out there. God bless us all..... Everyone.

this is know as stretch time. it ususaly takes anywhere from 1-3 weeks for the plant to show flowers. it will grow like wild fire during these weeks before it shows any flower. be patient and wait when the plant is ready it will flower and make you happier than a dirty sty for a pig.
i would stop using the bloom untill the last 3 weeks of the flwering period for the plant. and the plant will tell you when it is close to the end. the hairs will begin to turn red/orange. when they are about half red/orange you have close to 2 weeks left and them go use your bloom and juice her up. a t spoon of molasses in your water once a week will also help microbs break down the soil and make the nuteriants in the dirt more acessable to the plants roots

2 weeks left and them go use your bloom and juice her up.

Huh? Most peeps recommend that one should flush the last two weeks with plain water. Why do you say juice her up for the last two weeks? This completely contradicts what seems to be near universal info...

flushing in soil is a joke if you ask me. it has been grown in dirt its whole life and using it roots to get the nutes it need to grow now the last week we just give it water. well it is still taking up nutes for that week you so call flushing it.
if you realy want to flush a plant grown in soil you would have to chop it down and place it in a vase like freah cut flowers and force it drink just water. it will live for a while in a vase just think of a clone living with no roots.
so flushing to me in a soil grow is waste of time. just think about it for a minute and see what i mean. you could use your bloom enhancer for the last 2 weeks and then put it in a vase to flush if you are worried about the extra nutes it has stored..i am just giving you some advice and what has worked for me.
