How old are they? They won't flower until they're mature...no matter how long you keep them under 12/12.

I vegged for 2 weeks before i flipped switch (to 12/12) and after another 2 weeks i got gender and a week later budsites.

started with mexi bagseed*


Just sayin how I was successful in forcing young plants into flower

Keep'em under 12/12 and they will come around. Any problems during the grow that could stunt the growth? I stunted my BF LSD as a seedling and it is literally 2 months behind the other ladies growth wise. Good luck bro :good:
 
31 days flowering and 14 days veg hmmmm are u sure they are getting 12 hours of pure darkness? no light leaks? street lamp outside the room window? if not maybe try 11 light 13 dark! good luck :D

they are 31 days into flowering,how can i make my plants plant mature faster?

You can't...they'll mature when they do.

So, answer the question...from seed sprouting, how old are they? It usually takes about 1 1/2-2 months to mature. If you've had them under 12/12 since birth...look at closer to the 2 months to mature.

Are you sure it's DARK...pitch black...in there with the plants when it's lights out?

i planted them 10/4/10 put them in flower on 22/5/10, but i think there might be some light getting in so hopefully that will be the problem

In my opinion...take it for what it's worth...I don't switch lights until they show preflowers. That's usually at about the 6-7th or 8th node and about 1 1/2-2 months.

They may just be slow to mature and you may have slowed them down going to 12/12 so soon. Is there a reason? Every week you let them veg gets you proportionally more bud. Is this a small/micro grow?

If you've got the room to let them get bigger, I'd HIGHLY suggest you go back to 24/0 or 20/4 and let them do some growing. Wait for the preflowers (are they fem seeds?) and then throw them into flower.

Otherwise, you'll spend a lot of time and not get much back.

Cannabis needs to be at least 8 weeks(60 days old) from seed before they will show signs of flowering under 12/12
If you flip them to early like you did it takes allot longer for the immature plants to express sexual traits.
