There are a lot of white Brugs around. Unless they come labeled with a name, they are called NOIDS (No ID) as it's impossible to ID them otherwise.
Do you know whether your cuttings came from above the "Y" or from below? Brugs are fertilizer hogs and need to be fertilized at least once a week, twice would be better. Use an all purpose liquid fertilizer that contains all the micro-nutrients. I use Miracle Grow. I also add some epsom salt several times when they are actively growing. They seem to need a bit more magnesium than what MG provides.
If the cuttings came from below, they will go through their vegetative growth cycle before they "Y" and start producing blooms. The vegetative growth cycle in Brugs is genetically driven. No amount of pinching or fertilizer will make them start blooming any sooner. Some Brugs complete that cycle when they are under 6' tall while others can get closer to 12' before they produce their first "Y". If your cuttings came from above the "Y" and you fertilize regularly, you should see blooms this year because the cuttings continue producing more "Y"s and buds as if they were still attached to the mother plant. When you have time go through some of the older threads. There is a wealth of information in those threads.
Be sure to post photos of your first blooms!
I pretty much fertilize every time I water. But, alot of mine are huge. I could probably cut my 3 biggest ones up and use them for firewood in the winter. LOL
