Did you turn the lights to 12/12 and make sure there is no light at all during the dark periods? If not than that's why.
It's a little small to flower yet. How old is it?

It needs 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness every day to flower. No light at all, 100% dark, because even if it does start to flower any light leaks can cause it to hermi on you...

You're right but why take a chance. It's much easier to keep it dark than to try and find out how much light it does take to hermi a plant...

y would a little extra light turn it hermie? so a tiny bit of light is gonna stress the shit outta ur plant and turn it hermie, if that were the case every time a full moon came out outdoor growers would be rushing to cover there plants, u hear of ne one doin that cuz i dnt and ive nvr heard of ne ones plants goin hermie from a full moon or a little light leakin through, think about what u say be4 u go off sputtering bullshit, id like to no what "experienced growers" fed u this nonsense

Overwatering.
A plant shows the symptoms of overwatering in hydro when there is not enough air getting to the roots. This could be because the air pump has failed of simply as the plant grows, its needs change and it needs more air. It can also be too high water temps, Perfect hydro water temps are 68deg +/- 3deg. More serious causes are root rot, pytheum etc. Check the roots, if they are brown or slimey, post another thread in plant problems.
This is a little strange since the plant looks healthy. I cannot tell if it has alternating nodes yet. Was it from a clone or seed?
There could be lots of reasons your plant has not flowered yet.
Too much nitrogen can delay flowering. When the plant went into flower, was it "sexually mature" If it did not have alternating nodes, it would not flower. Light leaks have been discussed. Plant pot size, if the roots were inhibited, it could stop flowering. Was it healthy when put into flower? Lack of humidity, low temps, lack of light or CO2. Maybe its male and you havnt spotted the balls?
Without knowing all these things, it will be difficult to diagnose why it's not flowered yet.
Give us some more details so we can help properly.
