5 Weeks of flower and still no signs of budding

A question of a fellow grower:

After a sketchy start, which I notified you about, things were looking really great! That is, until they switched to 12/12 to flower.

Today marks week 5 of flower and still no signs of budding. The plants are super healthy, and even taller than me (6 feet).

I’ve checked my light schedule, PPMs, pH, humidity, and everything is looking great. Again, plants are super healthy…they just aren’t doing anything. Not to mention 2 of my 6 plants have “retard” genetics, in that since day 1 their leaves have looked weird and grow almost twisted.

Where do we go from here? I’m growing (2) Jack Herer, (2) power plant, white widow and GG#4

You have them on 12/12 light schedule im guessing?. Are you sure your lights are actually turning off at night, and its completely dark?

Any power strip lights, heater lights, other light leaks happening?

Post more pictures of your whole set up and your tent / room is you dark period black out because they need pretty much black out… an led display on an ac is ok… Ppl say it has to be 100% which I found to be bogus because I have a monster leak on the top of my wall cavity that lets 120+watts of cfl (actual watts) makes its way up and over and into the room but the light source is not directly visible to the pants it’s just minor reflection (about what the Moon would be to outside plants in my brain it’s definitely not hindering. there flowering process ! See my veg is in the open part of shed flower room is segregated with dry wall but it got wet and deteriorated about 2 inches by 24 inches so I have a 1 inch by 24 inch gap that the reflection goes into but light source can’t be seen by plants IMG_20181104_184315|375x500

Doesnt have to be 100% but genetics play a big role in this. Strong genetics will make it through just about anything, whereas people have reported s power strip or small light leaks causing major problems.
Also the moons light is extremely small, the full moon typically provides only about 0.05–0.1 [lux] illumination.

Exactly about what reflection of a few CFLs 20 ft and a wall bounce away would be indirect light but either way what. Ever it is it hasn’t hindered anything and I have 1 ilgm white widow and 9 bag seed of purple haze , gsc and 2 different randoms so I wouldn’t say I have unbepiveably strong genetics but I did start at 30 plants and down to the select final 10
