Sour diesel taking soo long

I planted 6 sour diesel plants on April 11th, they started out as clones that I got from a club. I have them in 3 gallon pots with soil, I have 2 600watt hps lights on them that are on a 12/12 schedule. They are still not ready yet, what do you guys think or how long left?

I can't figure out how to post a picture lol. Any help?

how long have they been at 12/12?

Why have you posted about a photoperiod in auto area?

They've been on 12/12 for 3 months. Sorry I didn't mean to, I'm planning on doing autos next crop and I forgot to go back to general growing.

Ah fair enough!

Got any pics?

Don't quote me on this but if they never had a distinct veg period (18/6, 24/0) and went from clone straight to 12/12 they are technically still in the vegging stage but only with 12hrs of light. I found this on another forum, "Part of the problem is that the plant isn't going to flower until it is mature enough. Starting on a shorter light cycle might hasten that a very small amount but in reality it will still be vegging until it get mature, it will just be vegging with less light."

I vegged 18/6 for about 3-4 weeks than changed them over and they were doing great except for taking so damn long to finish up. How do I post pictures?

Sorry I wasn't of more help. By the dates I couldn't tell if you got a chance to hit them with 18/6 for a while.

In the reply option hit "go advanced" and then scroll down to "manage attachments" and you can upload an image.

sour diesel can take 12 weeks. how do you know they are not done?

It's all good. Ah gotcha, they vegged up nice and were doing good and are doing decent still but won't finish up.

i planted my sour diesel seeds around april 15th and the 1 in a 3 gallon pot is about 2 weeks from finishing. 50% of the white hairs have turned red and trichomes are swelling nicely and sprouting up like crazy. post some pics of your buds!

Can you tell how they just aren't filling out?

they have awhile to go, you did something wrong if it flowering for more than 120 days,. sorry...it looks like its about halfway done, goodluck

I just finished an HSO Sour Diesel #2... took the longest of 4 plants. took the longest to finish. the MAJOR swelling comes the last 3 weeks. my main cola was fatter than a soda can when she was done. Use a microscope to look at the trichomes once you think it's about done. have you been using any nutrients?

I use general hydroponics brand and I used grow, bloom and liquid koolbloom.

Well that's what I was using. I stopped using nutes about a month ago because I thought I would be chopping them down around this time
