I have been trying to force flower an unknown strain that seems to be sativa dominant if not pure sativa. I have been boxing up at 6pm and uncovering at 7am to insure the light is always at least off for a full 12 hours for 15 days now and I still don't even see a preflower. then 2 days ago my dog got to it and ate almost all the new growth basically FIMing it. can I forget about getting a good harvest due to the accidental FIMing after I started to force flower? is this normal for sativa dominant plants to take this long to show sign of sex or is there anything I cant add nute wise to force it to show sex? any help is apprieciated because I have lost 12 other plants due to the crazy late cold snap and root rot on a closet grow got my other one so this plant is my last hope at a harvest? Thanks in advance everyone. TM87
Some strains it takes up to 3 weeks, longer if there's stress and light leaks. Remember to keep covering until Autumn or your plant will just go back into veg.
