I have a cutting from a plant that grew in the garden during summer. The cutting is growing indoors (6 weeks of growth and now already 7 weeks of flowering with 12 hours) but there are no signs that the buds are coming. Does anyone have an idea? Shorten the light to 8-10 hours? Thanks f

2nd picture has hairs I'd associate with the flowering being started. To have complete inhibition for 7 weeks is extreme. I've heard of other certain things that can delay flower but 7 weeks is beyond any minor overlooked detail. The clawed margins are Indicative of either overwatering or nitrogen, one or the other. Both will slow transition if problems occur. Excess nitrogen significantly delays flower transition by promoting lush, green leafy (vegetative) growth over reproductive (flowering) development, essentially telling the plant to keep growing leaves instead of flowers. This can cause delayed bloom initiation. But I'd expect much darker green if that was the case. Stress (above a level) can prevent or delay floral transition in plants. While the common view is that stress accelerates flowering as an "escape" mechanism to ensure seed production, the inhibition of flowering by stress is a well-documented phenomenon. severe stress can prevent or delay floral transition in cannabis plants, or even cause them to revert to the vegetative state or become hermaphroditic. 3 finger leaves are indicators stress has occurred pretty bad, arrested development While three-finger leaves can signal stress and potentially a temporary arrest in optimal development, the plant is not necessarily permanently "arrested." Addressing the underlying stressor usually allows the plant to recover and resume producing healthy, multi-fingered leaves. 15-30 min burst of far-red light (around 730 nm) at the beginning of the dark period can will "reset" a plant's night duration, making it perceive a longer night than actually occurred. On the flip side, interrupting the middle of the night with red light (any light thay contains red) converts Pr back to Pfr, which effectively "breaks" the night period, potentially delaying flowering and keeping plant in veg. Could even be as silly as a led light on display screen of one of your instruments. Maybe tent is not as sealed as one thinks, always hood to give her a check for light leaks. Goodluck with the grow dude. ✨️

48 hours of total darkness, then back to 12/12. Are you sure there are absolutely no light leaks in your tent during lights out?

That said, I have no idea what lamp you’re using. Right spectrum? Full spectrum or switchable? What nutrients are you using? Many have special nutrients for the flowering stage since the plant's needs change.

7 weeks is crazy but I can reassure you, she is now in flowering. I see the first little hairs there 😉

you can also give them a shock to push them into flowering. For example, 24-48 hours of darkness, then only 10-11 hours for a few days with low light, after that, they should naturally enter "autumn panic" and fully bloom. (again 12H - DLI like 30-40)

Without a diary and information, no one can tell. At firs, you can't see much because the focus is bad, perhaps a whole plant would be beneficial, too. What you can see is that the plant has leaves with three fingers. This means that it was extremely stressed and did not feel comfortable. Would not mean much if you fixed the problem, so I would guess initial problem is ongoing. Flower ia visible. If it has been flowering for so long, it may take a longer flower time longer due to its condition when flipped (or shorter). 6W veg = completely rooted? From cut to flip? However, I would say nothing much to expect. If it is a giant bush go for some extract or bubble..

This is really an interesting situation, especially since the plant is a cutting from an outdoor plant. After 7 weeks in the 12/12 cycle, there should be clear signs of flowering in most photoperiod strains. After 7 weeks of a 12/12 cycle, that's really unusual. It could also be due to a Sativa dominance, as they sometimes take longer. Possible solutions: - Check for light leaks (most common cause): Make sure that the 12 hours of darkness are completely light-tight. Even the smallest light leaks can prevent flowering. - Shorten the light (your idea): Once the darkness is secured, reduce the light phase as suggested to 11 hours of light / 13 hours of darkness or even 10/14 to enhance the flowering trigger (especially for Sativa-dominant strains). - Stress/Nutrients: An excess of nitrogen can delay flowering. Pay attention to bloom-specific nutrients (less N, more P/K). Main action: First, fix any possible light leak, then reduce the light to 11/13. Hope that helps you out, good luck! 😘
