i have never had this problem and i apologize in advance if this topic has been covered. i did a search and
found nothing. i'm growing some freebie beans from attitude dinafem critical and dinafem california hash. they
have been in flower now since 12-5. i use a 400 hps, fox farm nutes. they pre flowered but still have formed
no buds. i mean nothing. the plants are healthy, gorgeous but they will not flower. wtf?? six weeks into 12-12

It could be a few thing so you need post a pic
Is your light bulbs old and how big of a grow area
does the 400 watter do they work but don't expect
a miracle I have 2 in 1 closet 2 plants for 1 light
next I don't used Tiger Bloom no more sorry fox farm
grow big is cool for veg but TB I use Advance Nutes
sensi bloom in place of TB Sensi Bloom just by it
self is better than TB I'll like to add their big bud
and all that other shit but It's too much money and I would
burn my plants the last time I used Big Bud and VooDoo
Juice I burnt my shit so now I on 8 weeks flowering~

Got light leaks? Is you dark period really dark? Both of those strains say Indica...so shouldn't be a long sativa type flowering of 10-14weeks...plus if you switched to 12/12 on 12/5 you are more 4 weeks into flowering as there is a "transition" time of about 2 weeks to go from veg to flower...have you checked to make sure your timer is working? :D

What strain are you growing? Some pure Sats have anywhere from 12 to 18 week flowering times, although I would think that you'd at least see something by now.

well.

Stang, Cab looks good man.
I also have a 400w and I keep mine a lot closer I put a fan blowing under the light so it blows between the light and the top of the plants. this really helps keep the temp down at canopy level and allows for the light to be closer to the plants. I am able to have it within 6"-8" from the plants. I knwo this isnt your problem with them but you loose some effectiveness of the light the higher it is.

I noticed you have a veg area in your cab as well. Are you sure there is no light leaks from that part of the cab into your flower area??
you could step inside of your flower area when the lights are out in there but on in your veg side and wait 5-10 minutes for you eyes to adjust and see if there is any light leaks. When doing so make sure that the lights in the room around the cab are on as well to eliminate that as a source of light leak also.
Good luck man the plants do look nice though.

...after three grows my 400W bulb is next to useless, but I would definitely look into a light leak.

thanks. it was a lot of work to build that cabinet but i'm very happy with it. i'll try blowing the fan on the tops. the plant on the right is more sensitive to the 400 and has slight light burn.
