there is something definatly wrong. Your buds...should be much bigger by now. I think you may need to check your timer...and check to see if ambient light is hitting your plants during the dark period. Your plants need at least....and i mean at least 12 hours of complete darkness. You are going to have very little room to flower...but your plants look fucking awesome. Check your timers...and put a black blanket around your grow area to keep ambient light away.

Moto if there is the tiniest pin hole of light during the 12 of dark then you arent truly dark even if you have to use your phone to see...the true dark may be whats goin on...it has to be perfectly dark no light at all. BIG F*CKING props to you for flipping to a scrog in the middle of flower, where you shaking bending that biggin over hopin it wouldnt break??? lmao!!

hell yeah. If that thing snapped I would have too. hehe. But in nature doesn't the moon give off some light at night... I dunno... nothing I can do about it now heh. Will start a new grow and keep up with these babies outdoors. New grow will probably start in a month. Expect a brand new grow room too 
With pitch dark of course hehe

Sounds like a light leak to me. I had the same fricken problem with some Northern Lights x's Shiva. Had them in flower for 2 months and still there were very very tiny buds and few white hairs. Im 99% positive that thats the problem you have. Man tho big ups on them gurls they sure are beautiful!

The moon does give off some light but you have to remember that you are providing an artificial growing environment so to speak...you cant take the rational from the moon and compare it to plants that have been receiving light for 24 hours for x amount of time, thats not natural and I dont think you can expect your plant to then naturally accept a little light because of the moon thing, there had never been a moon in your plants life until you went to 12/12, it only knows light so when you introduce darkness you do so for a specific purpose and if she sees light thats what she will go by.
When you are growing indoors and manipulating light to expedite growth you have to go by those rules not try to rationalize natural occurances in nature you know?? Does that make any sense?? Its like 2 diff worlds in my opinionation...

yea, it makes sense. Still sucks though heh. So will they have trouble flowering now that they are outside? I mean besides the obvious cold weather....I just hope they survive and produce atleast something. I am more worried about keeping the strain alive because I want to keep it around for a while atleast until we start ordering some other dank seeds...

how long do they have to be outside? are you going to be able to set back up soon? If so you may be able to get it going but honestly the stress and lite etc may cause her to go a little hermie....awwww Im so sorry, If worse comes to worse on keeping the strain maybe as a last ditch takes some clones.

Thanks for the contribution to my thread about the t5s. Your grow looks great, super close node spacing man...way to go.
How many lumens are you cfls putting out, do you know? Do you know of anything ready bought in hydro stores that puts out similar lumens for about the same price?
Seems like you didn't spend much, what was your total? I grow w. 1000 watt lamps, but I am using t5s for a portion of veg this time.
Thanks

The 4ft T-5's were about $120, spent another $45 for cfls. The two daylight CFL's we started with were $15 each from hydro shop but they said something like 2600 lumens each, and the 6 warm light ones were $15 for all 6 at Sams club heh. I don't think T-5's are neccesairy for veg but if you can afford it, they are definetely the way to go for clones and seedlings..
