So I'm in an AC infinity 2x4x6 tent I have my Northern Lights in a 5 gallon fabric bag with the appropriate AC Infinity light recommended for that tent. The CO2 from a mushroom exhale bag two AC Infinity oscillating fans. The AC Infiniti controller 69 Bluetooth a 4-in exhaust fan with filter. I'm in week 6 of flowering this photo. And I'm still not seeing buds and I'm not knowing what's going on. If anyone can help I should say I see buds. They're just really tiny starters. Any advice welcome

How do the other plants look? They are flowering at a normal rate? Are you doing anything during the night cycle, like opening up the tent? Maybe you have a light leak hitting that plant.

You say "week 6 of flowering"? What is your actual light schedule? It should be 12/12. Have you checked inside the tent periodically throughout the 12hr dark cycle to make sure no lights are coming on? Also what is your nute line & feed regime? Have you switched to bloom formula?

Nothing opens when the lights are off no light leaks I can see. These are the other two in the same tent. The one with the bigger buds is the same age, planted same time, same nutrients, same tent their whole lives lol?? I'm be fuddled

Pure guess - Could just be a pheno expressing equatorial landrace genetics that flower by age instead of light cycle.

Ah, it all makes sense now. 3 different strains so they will have different flowering times.

I think we were all assuming they were the same strain from the same batch of seeds. Had us thinking it was just showing different ends of its genetics spectrum or the late bloomer was dealing with a light leak. What you got going on is totally normal for different strains in the same tent.

I'm dumb I should have mentioned that at the start. I've just never experienced this before and normally have multiple strains going.
