Default no flowers on green beans

I am trying to grow Kentucky wonder beans in a dwc system. they have been in water since about may 25, I have changed the water every 7-10 days with 6.0-6.5 ph. I have an oscilating fan on them. I have leaves that are about 5 inches and vines that are close to 3ft or more. I have cut them back once and went to a bloom mixture with no change. using general hydro nuitreints. They are in the window using southern facing sunlight. any advise would be appreciated.

Hello jd-11,
1. Do you have any pictures of your setup?
2. What nutrients are you using, and how are you mixing them?
3. What is the air and water temps?
4. How much air are you getting to the roots?
5. How many hours of sunlight are they getting, and is the side near the window seem to be doing better?
6. Are you needing to replace much water between nutrient changes?

Thank you for your response. between working and trying to enjoy the Wyoming summer which is short lived, I got flowers and now beans. it just took longer than I expected which was possibly do to me using sunlight,instead of a more in tense light system.
