Beginning 3rd week flowers and still no buds: Hydroponics

[Crazylids]

Hi guys. I'm new to the forums and i am here to ask your opinion on a problem im having with my hydro grow.

First of all this is my second hydro grow, im using a modified aquafarm by ghe, running as a dwc.
My lamp is a 600w hps, strain is king Kong. And my temps humidity and light and nute schedule are fine.
At least the plant seems healthy nute-wise.

But i am entering the 3rd week of flowering today and the buds lool really small. If you can call them buds. Lol. I don't know what night be the issue, but i guess it must be related to my hydro system. If you want any photos ill gladly take them for you guys.

Any toughts would be apreciated. Thanks in advance.

Looks healthy enough... You sure your light schedule is all good?

I'm assuming you are meaning 3 weeks into 12/12?

I had a strawberry cough that didn't even show signs of flowering for like 20 days of 12/12. Is this the same strain as your first run or a new one? Could just be a slow starter but I think that's usually more likely in sativa dominant strains, I stand to be corrected on that!

Looks good with nice flower spacing. Should make for nice tight buds. I will bet it is just that strain your growing is one that takes awhile to kick in flowering. Some strains do that and most I have had look like that in flower were sativa dominant. King kong is a dominant indica but key thing is that it is a hybrid. That could be the sativa trait in it that makes it start flower slow. either way your on your way to having buds soon.

Yes it is. The plant is really healthy and has done a great stretch. My only doubt is that She may get a bit of light before the light Turn on at 10am. But if it does is really close to nothing. I have been in this situation before and had no problems during flower.

Yes this is exactly the start of week 3 since 12/12.

Well I'd say carry on, good times ahead!

This is a diferent strain. The first one was Critical mass. I'm hoping this is a natural ocurrence.

Unless ya start seeing weird looking growth ie reveg then I think nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the support bro. You gave me hope.

Yup i think you are right but since i am new to hydro i was worried, but the plant is super healthy and the environment is near perfect so i didn't know what could be the issue besides maybe a lightning problem during the dark period.

For sure it is one of two things. Light leak or genetics. I would say genetics. If it is light leak you will see nanners soon.

They look good to me for 12/12 flip. Just take your time and don't rush them and you shall be rewarded.

Update: its day 37 and got some problems. The leaves got some brown/Yellow spots about two weeks ago.
It has gotten worse and the plant seems to have slowed down bud production.
Yesterday while changing res water i found a few larvae on the water, tho I don't see any gnats flying around.
I am pretty sure i gave her a bit too much nutes. But do you think the spots on the leaves are related to the overfeed ir maybe a Root problem? The spots started showing from the bottom of the plant and are now on the top leaves as well.
Considering the budding os really slow or none in the last two weeks.
Btw there are no Spider mites ir any thing on the leaves.

I'll leave some photos so you can see.
Cheers
