ok in another thread i had said that i had a few plants under 18 hours of light for about a month, then something come up and i couldn't leave them inside anymore, so i took them outside and they have been outside for 9 days down, i also put some flowering nutes on them a few days ago. i'm still not even sure of the sex i think one is female but not sure about the other one. but anyway i was wondering if there are any things that will prevent a plant from flowering? like inadequate light? becaz these plants aren't in direct sunlight and there haven't even been a whole lot of light around here lately? so i have read that a plant will usually flower in 2 weeks time, but that is probably in optimal conditions right? so my question is will the plants even flower, and if it does could it take longer than 2 weeks since my light source isn't that great? thanks for any help...
Definitly, one of the main causes of low yield is improper lighting, weather you have enough? Im not sure.... I think it takes about 2 weeks to see sex, alot longer to actually produce a good yield. Im not too sure I , nor anyonelse can answer this question for you, but sounds to me like you proly know how its gonna turn out, and I think it would behoove you to get it more light somehow, absolutely no way to bring it back in? Anyway, sorry I couldnt be of much help, good luck.
hey thanks for the reply and no i can't bring it back in, and i don't expect a great yield anyway, given my circumstances, anything would be fine to me. and i don't mean 2 weeks for a harvest or anything, i just mean like 2 weeks to start flowering, showing hairs everywhere, i was just wondering since my light isn't that great will it take longer than 2 weeks to start seeing the hairs all over? thanks for any help...
Even in low light (so long as the duration is correct, ie. 12+ hours of darkness for most strains), a plant will still flower bang on schedule, albeit with smaller, less dense duds. The usual thing that prevents plants from flowering is light leaking into its dark period. Is there a bright streetlight nearby, perhaps? Too much Nitrogen is said to delay flowering, but I've got a sativa that's so dozed it's hooky, and it started flowering within three days of 12/12, so perhaps that only applies to certain strains. -mu
