    I got two plants of Honey Cream fast flowering, and one of OG Kush
    Both are not auto flowering.
    I started growing them inside my home with a 18/6 light schedule and they kept growing for 5 weeks
    Then i transferred them inside my friend's garage due to reasons, there they had another 2 weeks of 18/6, for a total 7 weeks of vegetation
    Afterwards i switched to 12/12 light in order to make them start flowering
    It's been 7 weeks of flowering and the Honey Cream should be ready for harvest now, instead it's almost like it just started flowering. There are no nugs, yet the plants have become like twice the height they were before i transferred them.
    The leaves have a bright green color, however they have become droopy and kinda curling. So there definitely is something wrong
    The garage has no heating so the plants have a temperature of about 15° (60 Fahrenheit). Could that be the reason?
    The thing that weirds me out is that the plants didn't just stop growing, they have kept growing and are much taller than before, yet there are no flowers, like the plant spontaneously decided to keep going through the vegetation phase and not start flowering.
    Unfortunately i can't provide pics right now. Would the plants suddenly start flowering if i provided a source of heat? As far as i know the only difference between vegetation and flowering is the change of light schedule, in fact the temperature of the environment gets lower in nature, and not the other way around.

    Also the seeds were bought from royal queen seeds so there's no way they are males

    Yeah plant's aren't going to be doing much growing in a 60 degree garage. Any pics? Would really help.

    Sounds like it started to flower but was just stuned by the cold and probably improper nutrients. It's probably still flowering, just not how you would have hoped. Pictures would really be helpful.

    Autos do not need 12 hours of darkness. In a cold garage run them 24/0 till harvest.

    I will post pics as soon as i can.
    The weird thing is that the plants have grown a lot despite being in those conditions, like two times the height they were when i transferred them.
    It's like the plants keep going on in their vegetation phase and don't want to flower despite me changing the light schedule.

    Stretching is what happens in early flower, they will double in height. Sounds like it's flowering, just not well.

    Cold temps, weak lights, stress, the wrong nutrients will all delay or stunt flowering. The plant will still stretch and try to flower, but won't be able to very well.

    oh sorry man, I mis read, I skipped the "not" part.
    anyways, flowering plants really do well when stressed with cold.

    No they don't do really well when stressed with cold. Cold temperatures going into flower and through flower will just result in a stuned plant with smaller looser buds. The only time cold temps are of ANY benifet, is if you're trying to force a strain to colour out in the last 2 weeks of flower, that otherwise wouldn't fade. You're cold stressing the plant to make it change colour.

    Since 7 weeks of 12/12 light have passed, i wonder if it's too late now? Maybe the plant has technically finished flowering, so trying to help it would yield no results? Is it possible for a plant to recover and start flowering normally?

    Some of us like that Viking Pot grown up there in the long cold light. 68F under hot lights is a passable mimic.

    I have added pictures
    Guy in shop told me i should give it some growth speed enhancer

    Needs lots more light and food. Don't give it any fancy stuff, just basic flowering food will do
