Drank 10oz of magnesium citrate 4.5 hrs ago and still nothing. how long does it take? (it's for a flex sig prep)

Depends on whether: you are constipated and not drinking enough caffeine free/alcohol free fluid. Try some enemas to clear out any stool in your rectum. Do not take any more Mag Citrate without talking with your doctor first. May need to reschedule your scope.
