Plants Staying in Veg Stage

I am growing four cannabis plants (can’t remember strains) for the first time indoors under a 600w LED light. They are all growing really healthy and tall but the problem is it’s been around a month since I’ve changed to a 12/12 light cycle but it appears that of the four plants only one of them has started to flower and even that is flowering incredibly slowly. I have been using miracle-gro indoor plant food throughout the whole grow and haven’t changed for flowering due to being on a tight budget. I haven’t changed the light either. Is this the problem? Really worried as I’ve put in a lot of time and effort, was hoping for a yield. Thanks in advance.

Wow, those poor things have been through a lot... Are they bagseeds? Why don't they have leaves anymore?

Fuck me that's a hair cut man.......

You have no leaves for photosynthesis no wonder they are slow.

I've heard of defoliating but that's extreme.

I defoliated them just before putting them into flower coz that’s what I read on another thread. Is that bad?! It’s my first time.

I heard on another don’t be scared to defoliate, strip them naked. Guess that’s why they’ve slowed up. Damn, Imma idiot

What do I do to fix them? Will they recover?

Your lighting doesnt seem very intense, lack of lighting might be an issue. Plant in back left corner looks like it could be sativa so it may take 12-20 weeks to flower depending in what it is.
Yield wise by looking at those plants you may get an ounce with all four plants.

Following other people generally leads to problems. I have no idea why things for work some and not others. Its slightly werid hey.

Research lollipopping and selective defoliation and practice that before attending extreme barber school for people with Edward scissor hands.

Ermm as for recovery I'm guessing you have a few options.

Revert to veg - no idea how this would play out I've never gonna backwards tho there are threads on here covering it.

Break it down to for clones - again no idea how this would play out but people have....monster cropping/cloning isit?

Or wait it out. Prob the most viable option if your stuck. They are flowering a bit as pistol growth is there. Just very very slow......

As mentioned previously if it's a sativa dominant strain it will develop slower as these take longer to flower and mature generally. Along with lighting requirements.

You removed all of the plant's solar panels while already under extreme lack of lighting conditions. I doubt the harvest will justify the time it will take to flower them out, so I'd get rid of them all, start with a much better light, and refrain from removing the plant's leaves.

That's harsh but prob true.....

Also look closer have you removed alot of the tops and just left some fan leaves?

I'd want someone to tell me before wasting a near entire flower cycle on plants that will likely not produce much more than a couple of grams, if that.

"Growing" pains...

Looking at your light it sucks. I’m not sure it
Would help full of leaves that light no way no how pulls 600 from wall

Also, those plants aren't still in veg stage. They are flowering, although not well (due to lack of light and lack of leaves primarily).

Ha nice pun. I see you're point I guess.

Is the light a cheap chineese blurple from Amazon or eBay too just out of interest?

I definately think it's your lighting, for a month in flower you have some issues. I would finish it off. Add more lighting whatever you can afford and plan for your 2and grow.
What lights is it?

It’s 600w LED from Amazon, it’s actually a good light, the bright surroundings make it look dim in the picture

If you're going to carry on, and you can't change the light, you might want to bend the stems to make them lower and as horizontal as possible, then tie them down and move the light lower (much lower). The good thing about the lankiness is the fact that they will bend more easily without breaking.

I was thinking the same. Thank you good sir!

It's not 600w trust me. The lights are amazon are known for lying about everything about them, your light is closer to 100-150w more likely and by the pink it looks like a purple color which isnt very efficient.
Can you share what brand it is?
