3 footer not flowering,

I have a 3 footer that is not flowering.
Should I hit her with some hard core bloom or bloom 2x a week?

Indoors, outdoors ??? If indoors, how long on 12/12 ??? Indoors, if its more than 2-3 weeks without signs of flower... there might be a light leak. {I am on my first crop, so take grains of salt} I got a HUGE jump in new growth about a week after fixing a light leak, a week after that buds started to "build".

In your garden... a nieghbor with an obnoxious security light, or a street light has been known to screw things up.

As for hard core bloom, I did hit it with Beastie Bloom 0-50-30 or some ungodly numbers like that. But I wouldn't stray too far outside recomended dosage, even with low N stuff. Recommended dosing depending on product is probably ONCE for some, and maybe once per 2 weeks... definitely not twice per one week. 2 times in a week sounds like a brilliant way to Nute Burn in the P & K range. Anything is possible if you hammer it hard enough... and 0-50-30 is quite a hammer.

i usualy dont hit hert with bloom until 2nd or 3rd week in budding...

we are in the outdoor growing forum,,so i hoping he means outdoor,,and an outdoot plant does need 12/12 to start budding so dont worry about it ...keep with your veg ferts until you start seeing buds for a week or so,,at that time your plant will be in budding mode and not need as much fert as the veg fert gives..then hit her with your bloom fert..

Check a site that has detailed weather for your area.... I think these also tell you when the some comes up and goes down, which can help you figure when 12/12 started or if its even happening yet.

im gonna have to respectfully disagree wit u. i dont think its good to give them veg ferts once they start flowering. i hit mine up wit bloom ferts before they start budding. as soon as plants flip over to bud they require large amounts of phosphorus. its good for ur plant to already have that before it flips over. indoors i start feeding bloom a week before i flip over, outdoors i try to time it but i normally end up switch ferts at the first sign of preflowers. so i say if ur growing outdoors its time to switch to bloom ferts. it wont make it start flowering any faster it will start when its time, but when it does it will have all the proper nutes it needs.

when marijuana first goes into flowering they usually stretch a good amount(sometimes doubling in size over the first week or two of flowering) I usually give them veg and flowering nutes the first week or two of flowering then switch to just bloom nutes.

i use a 5-10-5 and a 6-11-6 so thats plenty of nitrogen for them to continue to stretch but also has plent of phosphorus for when it needs it. if ur bloom fert has enough N i dont see why the need to mix them but hey if it works for u then thats all that matters.

yup, to each his own.

bloody hell, its just what just happened on one plant! It bloomed like mad with a 25% solution of food.
Really amazing, my first plant Id call a "Weed"

I'm in the same boat as you man except mine is about 9-10 feet tall. I really hope it flowers before the frost comes. I would be so sad to lose my big one.
