Wedding Cake by Barneys Farms

After hearing back from Barneys Farm, they cannot give me any advise on whether or not this plant should have started budding by now due to "legalities", and said they could not offer me any replacement beans because I live in Canada, although I bought them from a distributer in Canada. So I changed the feeding to early flower, defoliated very aggressive in lollipop fashion in hopes the stress will force the bud cycle to start.
