10 weeks flowering buds arnt progressing

[caligrown11]

i have a SSH clone that i got from my local dispernsary back in march and it is now late july. this plant starting flowering very early and i am wondering why my buds are not getting bigger and the hairs are still all white no amber coloring at all yet. i was thinking it had to do with the light they are getting, (they are outdoor by the way) since they started so early the day are still 18 hours of light instead of the 12 that they need i was wondering if that is keeping them from fully flowering? also i am not giving any nutrients and was wondering if that would help if i did and what to use? hopefully one of you expierneced growers out there can help me i dont want this grow to go to waste

The plant started flowering so early because the light cycle was right then the days got longer and she got confused, give it 2 or 3 weeks and she'll start to flower properly. No nutes needed unless she looks hungry. Peace

right on for the reply. i just got some bud candy to give her do you think i should? also isnt it bad for a plant to be flowering that long? it will b about 13 weeks by then and then another few weeks to complete flowering.

Plants act weird when they revert back to veg from budding and despite what some may say it takes a LONG time before the plant exhibits rapid new vegetative growth. Generally you don't want to go outside until around Mothers Day, ideally May 21st though.

I had a plant I harvested at the end of May, I left most of the leaves and some of the buds on it and decided to see what it would do if I left it outside. It took FOREVER to show significant new growth and clones I took from it are already bigger then the mother plant and they were 12" clones when I planted them, the mother plant was 3 feet tall with full root and stem development.

give her the nutes if you think she needs it. She was in limbo, when she gets back into full flowering it may well take more than just a couple of weeks. It's not going to hurt it. Weed is a resilient...weed.

If you want to speed up the flowering you can cover it with black plastic for 12 hours and uncover during the day for the 12 hours of flowering. The best bet if its just one plant is to build a cheap frame work for the plastic to rest on.
