26 Days of 12/12 and My Plant Still Won't Flower

I've been trying to bloom my plant for 26 days now and all I have is one premature female bud (little white-ish growth with two white hairs) on the second node from the top. The rest are just little green growths that don't have white hairs yet. I don't understand why it is taking so long to bud. I did trim some fan leaves that were blocking light. And I do have veg nutes that are time released for 4 months(I don't know if that would have any effect). I just can't figure it out. I don't think I have any major light leaks, although that seems like the answer. Has anyone had this problem before? What should I do? Any input appreciated.

Do you have alternating nodes? They may not be mature enough to flower.

u might have light leak too, that would slkow the plants to a halt. They need total darkness wen the lights off even an led could fuk it.

Yeah it has alternating nodes now but I did start flowering early. I switched the lighting cycle to 14 hour darkness and tried to fix any possible light leaks. So I guess this is what happens if you flower early?

Stick with 12x12 and they will flower

Thanks for your replies. I guess I will just sit back and see how this thing turns out, hopefully for the best.
