still not flowering!!!

I'm in UK and my plants are not even starting to flower either. however this is normal as we're still getting light at 6am and darkness at 9pm.

Just thought I'd share, hopefully you'll start seeing some lovely white hairs soon.

Peace, Sensi

Im growing the G13 labs Northern Lights x Skunk and from what I read after buying this strain is that G13 Labs are not the best seed suppliers to deal with. I live in the mid west and my plant is growing great but as of today all I see is a few white hairs on each top, so no flowers yet. Frost will be here soon!!!

Well I thought I was seeing things it looks like flowers are starting to form as of 8-16-13 my plant is staring to flower.

You have an advantage vs early frost, because you plant is in a container...if you can move it to a location overnight that is protected from frost, you will be fine. Regardless of the time it takes to finish.

wah every year the same thing, relax everybody good things take time
happy harvest !!

Scuba it'll take time, I'm in RI and my girls are not showing flowers yet either. In due time tho they sure will. As long as you don't have a sativia then you're good up here from my experience.

Mine finally started popping pistils. 42°N

I'm in the northern hem. and mine aren't flowering yet. Big Bomb, Dutch Passion, Purple Passion.

Planted out late june. Last year planted out late april and still no flowering until september. Planting out later at least has helped control mad out of control growth in my polytunnel.

Did think about throwing a light-proof tarp over the tunnel to con the plants into 12/12!
Anyone tried that?

Are your plants getting full sun from sunrise until sunset? My ladies have other tall plants nearby that would block early morning and late evening sun... maybe tricks the plants into thinking there are less daylight hours and thus begins to flower sooner.

There are many reasons why some of the ladies have not started flowering. First one is obvious - unless each one has received exactly the same treatment, exactly the same conditions and genetics ... they will start differently. G13 from experience has really good genetics. Plants are very consistent, but flowering will not be the same. Main factors, from experience, that will determine flowering delays:

-plant in stress?
-soil pH
-availability of light, amount of daily exposure to light
-drought and/or lack/excess of nutrients

These and other factors contribute to the ultimate trigger than sets the plant into flowering. I have a couple with obvious ph problems due to extreme heat (light green leaves), they haven't started flowering but I'm working my ass off to raise ph with dolomitic limestone. Will take a week to kick in.
