Let me start out by saying that I am new to growing. I have read a ton of literature and browsed a lot of web pages for information, but I don't know what's going on with my plant.

I have a modest indoor setup.
1 Northern Light plant
125w MH Light
2 duel bulb florescent light

I have had no problems as of yet to get the plant to bud but it seems like it is stuck. The plant has been on a 12 on 12 off cycle for almost 12 weeks. The buds have grown and I have been waiting for the trichomes to turn amber, but they are not changing. The pistils have all turned brown but the trichomes are still white (clear on the buds at the bottom). I know that you have to be patient and I don't have the strongest light in the world but nothing seems to have changed in the last month.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I can do to help? (The temp in the room is around 75) Or do I have to just wait longer? Is the weak light the problem?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

maybe it has to do something with the light ... because mh are more for veg growth then flowering

any pics? the light could be the problem but with a MH you should be pumping out enough lumens to flower a plant anyway, Ive seen some pretty nice grows with straight MH. Ive heard of some plants taking up to 14 weeks and in some cases with certain strains flowering literally never ends and its just up to you to harvest when you feel ready, so whats your strain? I know thai tanic is a strain like that, so I would assume some other thai strains would have the same traits. I am of course quoting fdd here from a post of his I read so you can be assured its good info. If the buds are nice and big and theyve been going that long and the tricks are say 25-30% amber Id say that would be a good time to harvest just because it would cause the weed to have a more 'up' high, thats just my flavor. but please post pics and Ill try and help more

You harvest when the triches get dinser and look like mushrooms and when the hairs are 75% amber. If your pistils are brown your bud is done producing the pistils is what make the buds they die no more bud production they start to dissipate.

Seems your to late by what your saying. Sucks thats what I did on my first ever grow a few years ago.

its probably done but not as done as you wanted it from the lack of red spectrum.....imo
