I’m fairly certain at some point you may have went into veg. But when I really take at look at your leaf growth I now know for certain it’s getting more light and trying to come out of flower due to excess light. The way they are growing three prob leaves and on a previous pic you have a bunch of single leaves growing. Not 7-9-11 pointers I know you have a light issue

So what should i do to rectify this? Looking at the answers, it seems i messed this grow, and thanks to lack of space, i may need to end this girl and start fresh...

Well with the same setup you will prob get the same result. You need to figure your light timing. Can you change to a light cycle so you can manually turn on and off? Not sure of work and life situation but if you are certain it stays pitch black. Maybe manually turn the light on and off

I am 100% positive it is pitch black, because i took a video with the phone in, and it went black when the lights were off, no leaks anywhere. Also, since i have been using this timer for my shrimp tank, i know for certain it works flawlessly, which is why i ordered one again for this box. These are the images of my grow light with specs...

Your plants tell me your light times are off. I’ve seen many plants come from a flower state and back to veg. And how your leaves are growing are a clear indication to me that is what’s happening.

Did you record the 12hrs dark period and watch it back?
As I've said in previous posts the light coming on for a just short period will fuck it up.

I actually check lights from the exhaust vent, and there is a layer of light padding at the door. Let me show how my box is built

The black line is light insulation

I also took a video from my phone, Which I am not able to upload here for some reason. And when I turned off the lights, it went Pitch black in there.
This setup looks terrible to me, everything is way to crammed. Led light should never be 1/2 inches away it's not a CFL. You vegged way to long in that tiny space 12/12 from seed would be the only way for me in that small space. I think you'd be best to start again sorry to say.

Stop berating the OP please.

Your lights are 50 3watt led's. Actual draw is only 75 watts at best. You need more. Those locals are easily beaten in size and the apparent drying conditions blow ours away. Get a quality light or more of the best you can get. You'll be the king on your block in 5 months.

My experience is under perming lights. Lacking wattage. Will slow walk a flower forever. Seriously 17 week 4 day flower and needed longer under a 150W white driverless. On a proven 13 week finish GG.

Would the plant not be sending shoots or nodes after a week? Not happening. Plant is in flower mode. Stalled out due to lack of light. I've revegged a few dozen. Not seeing it. Sorry. Please correct me if wrong. This is my grow. Not documented. Peace.

Honesty is the best policy, no point wasting anymore time on something that's clearly not working. Best to learn from mistakes and start again. The Amazon led is no good and it's way to close, vegging that long in that tiny space was never going to end well. If he carries this on he won't even end up with popcorn I'm sorry if my opinion is not liked but I see no point trying to convince someone to do this or that when the setup was doomed to fail from start.

I see you speak from experience. My bad. That blurple didn't work so well for you? OP is other side of the world. Rules are upside down. LOL.

Welcome to the circus. Sit down. Buckle up and enjoy the ride until you know the park. You may then exit the car and wander about.

Yh I hear ya bud, he needs to take the constructive criticism and learn from it. He's not the first person to mess up the first grow won't be the last.

New member...??????? We try to remain civil and accommodating here. The forum is to help. And learn as we do. Attacks and insults don't help. No one knows it all. And if they do it won't work as advertised at your house. Just remember your first attempt. And listen to OP's situation.

I don't think I attacked or insulted I hope I didn't. I've not read all comments only upto where he showed the setup so gave my opinion. I hope he takes something positive away from the comments and gets a good grow under he's belt.
