8.5 feet and no bud (5 months)

So I'm new on this website and am a first grower. Honestly I only know the basics and am pretty clumsy with the plant. I have 2 plants one is 7.5 feet, 6 months old and is a random seed I found in some amazing weed and one is 8.5 and is supposedly either og kush or silver haze. I use a infrared 250 watt for both and have both been in flowering stage for 3 months. I grow in a huge open room thereforethe size of both. The 6 month old is in pre flowering and the 5 month old isn't even close. What should I do? Any tips? And let me know if you want photos so you can analyse the room and the plant.
thanks guys.
 
Howdy Joe and welcome to the forum.
Please show some photos and some information about Your set up. I'm confused, are you using only infrared lamps, as in heat lamps? Or are You using any other type of lighting with the IR like HPS, MH, CFL or T5's?

as late in ur grow as it is, i cant really help you with those plants. need someone with more experience there. but i can tell you ur grow area needs some tuning to become cannabis friendly. proper lighting looks like number 1 fix. have you read any articles or tutorials on the GWE website? everything you need to know to set up and grow is in there, broke down plain and simple and repeated in most cases several times. as if they wrote it knowing an addled smoker like myself was gonna read and be able to learn, lol.
read up, and you will.quickly see what needs to be done to make it work for YOU.
good luck with ur grow!
 
Are your plants getting 12 hours of uninterrupted complete darkness a day? If not, you will need to provide that to the plants.
 
Welcome to the group! We're happy to help you however we can. You made the right decision reaching out for assistance.
The plant needs much more than infrared to be able to grow proper. I can make some recommendations for quality products I've tested myself. As can many other growers. I can give you info for a solid $250 - $350 grow set up. These plants look beyond recovery in my humble opinion, however with the help of all your new friends in growing, I'm confident we can all get you to where you want to be. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
 
One is definitely female not sure about the other one cuz although to me it looks male it is in pre bud (I thinks that's what it's called. When it gets the crystaly white hairs that looks like bud) I really hope they're both female! Thanks a lot will give it a look. I've tried reading tutorials but they're just so long and boring but I guess that's a small price to pay...
thanks a lot mate! Hope some experts do give my grow a look....

They must have at least 12 hours or total darkness. Unfortunately, this is one of the few 'not negotiable" things we, as growers. need to deal with. There will be people who will tell you that 11 1/2 is ok and so on, but given your situation (they are not flowering) I would say you don't have that luxury.
I would love to see this plants in flower.. Best of luck to ya.
 
Yeah definitely glad I came here, you guys are awesome and very helpful, so thank you. Now regarding the set up just curios what that includes. Also would it help if I got another infrared light? And I don't live in the states so would it be more expensive? Aslo since it is not legal where I live so would it make the police suspicious or something? And again thanks for the help

Damn! I read that anywhere between 8 to 12 hours of darkness would be fine. But will definitely change it to 12 12. Thanks ks for the advice!
 
Welcome, Joe. I think the primary reason you're having a challenge is the light source you have. Using an IR style lamp doesn't provide the light spectra the plant needs so it stretches out towards it. You have plenty of resources available online to see how this works.
 
I don't think you need another IR at all.

I order from Amazon in a not so pleasant place to grow and have brought zero suspicion this far from what I know. I've been at this for years.

As far as what you would need for a solid and affordable grow set up would consist of a few things,

1 grow light (probably the most important aspect of any good grow) I personally have great success with LED and haven't spiked my electric bill enough for me to notice let alone anyone else. Led also provides more sprectrums of light than conventional lighting and therefore in my opinion works better.

2 grow tent, this will help keep the light out when it's their night time for flowering, as well as keep them out of sight and in a reflective environment to better take advantage of the grow light. Think of it like a portable closet only for your plants.

3 air circulation- aside from a fan passing air over your plants you'll need an inline exhaust fan to keep healthy airflow in your tent at all times.

4 nutrients- a simple blend of easy to use nutrients will help you grow your plants with optimum nutrient levels by following a simple formula usually explained on the bottles themselves.

5 medium, upgrading your soil can make a drastic improvement. I'll post a list later once I've compiled it.

Suggestions welcome!
 
Bloodshot is right on about this. I've also read that any kind of light at all will mess up the process. If that is your grow space, there can be no turn the light on and take a quick look kind of thing at all.. if you could get a grow tent it would be great. Follow what you read on this forum and you'll be alright.. I would like to see your plants flowering!!
