Hey Bandit600, don’t stress too much about it. Nine days on 12/12 is really still within the absolute norm, and some ladies just take a bit longer to show their first pistils. Some phenos have their own rhythm, you know? Just double-check carefully to see if you might have a tiny light leak in the tent or if your timer is really working properly. Even the smallest light from a clip fan or a power strip can really delay flowering. But if everything is completely dark during your dark phase, just give her a few more days; she’ll flip the switch eventually. Fingers crossed that she kicks in soon and you can chill during the summer break. Happy Growing Growmie🌱

Sativas can take 2-3 weeks to start flowering.

Why do problems always arise when you're really depending on the grow because you want to shut everything down in the summer." I know that too well 😹 They usually need a moment until the flowering becomes visible. Stretch is there, so everything should be visible soon.

Good morning, most plants need 7–14 days to hormonally switch to 12/12. BUT: There are outliers, and they behave exactly as you describe. longer pre-flowering reaction time more sativa content unstable genetics hormonal inertia Just wait a little longer and please make sure to resolve it! I wish you lots of success!

Patience grasshopper. Probably just a slow start. The terminal buds look like they are in flower. They tend to look extra "spikey" just before you see a bunch of white hairs. As long as you are providing 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness, it's already shifted gears. Not all plants operate on the same timeline. A slow start doesn't necessarily mean an extended flower phase, either. It may end up just as fast as the others.. or not... shit happens.
