my 2 plants have been in flower now for almost 2 weeks. no signs of sex have appeared on either of them. all they continue to do is get taller. i constantly move the lights to keep the tops from burning but they just keep getting taller. i dont know the strain of either but both come from a reputable source. i had problems with lime green leaves, went to my hydro store and they advised nitrex for the the problem. i added it yesterday with monster bloom nutes along with the nutes that came with my system(stealth hydro; bubbleponics).

does anyone have any advice?
please help. im running out of room in my grow space.

lighting
2-150w cfl warm wh
2-100w cfl warm wh
change water and nutes every saturday. add second half of nutes on sunday.
ph is correct.
huimidity is correct.
no light gets in.
temp is correct.

help!!!
thanks everyone

Yea, I have had some take they're time, pain in the ass. You got a ways to go too.
I would say start aggressive training now. bend your plant sideways and tie it down to the left, do the same to the other one but to the right.

As you start adding all this new crap be sure you dont over do it, Its easy to do.

The first two week's of a plant's flowering cycle is just the change over phase,at the end of week two you should start to see small white hair's comeing out of a tear shaped pod at the node's.Also at the very top of the plant look for white hair's,but be careful because because any male's will start to show there sex soon but not while around week 3/4 but still keep at close eye at this stage.The streching is caused by the light either been to f

im at the point where i feel like i should start over....
dont want to but i think it might be best.
holy crap i dont want to......
short of "getting a rope" will i be ok?
i dont mind the height or that the lower buds wont form very well but am i wasting my time keeping these "girls" alive?
does it make sense to wait another 2 weeks(4 weeks total from beginning of flower) to see what happens?
ahhhhhhhhhhh?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

Yea just wait man. if anything try lollypopping it. cut off the lower branches that wont produce much about 1 every 2-3 days off each plant.

funny thing is when i first started most people said they wished they had gotten more light. i never planned on them getting so big, so i assumed i was ok. even upped it to 4 instead of 2.
veg was great grew way too fast. had a problem when i changed to bloom. https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/382389-help-me-bubbleponics-closet-grow.html

fixed everything
cut roots
fixed lights
changed water.....
then they took off like a shot!

started growin awesome....let 'em fix a week in veg and then put to bloom....be worried ever since.

so back to the lights.....what should i do?

maybe take some of the lower branches, dip em in clonex, and root em. Then if you have to scrap the big ones you can immediatly put your clones in flower after they root. i am a relatively new grower and recently found out how easy cloning really is with a little love and attention
