Hi Charlie,
I was looking at my acapulco gold that I pruned a month or so back and it looks like it trying to form buds, but they are just staying small and the branch continues to grow. Will the buds eventually start growing as the branch matures or is a nutrient deficiency? I fertilize every time I water with OMRI biogrow, which is the organic equivalent to your HVH blend along with sea weed extract for extra potassium. I hope we can figure it out, Ive only gotten Acapulco Gold to bloom once and it has tons of branches now, so I am hoping that I can get a good show out of it. It gets full sun in a south facing window from about 9am till around 1pm. I attached pictures

So I hope you can help.
(I cant seem to get my other camera to work so I dont know when I can get illuminati pics up)
