Autoflower not flowering, advice please

[Kaya1985]

Hi guys, this is a purple punch from barneys farm. She has been in soil for over 7 weeks now. She looked like she was going to turn about a week ago but then nothing. I’ve got 3 cookies kush in with her and they’re all in various stages of flower. If it’s going to struggle I might just pull her and use the space for my other girls. Any advice would be appreciated guys.

Could be that, she is looking like she’s getting a hit better, she’s growing fast too so hopefully if she’s left she will turn

I'm on day 56 and no sign of flower yet. I switched to 12/12 3 days ago because I'm tired of waiting. If nothing changes in a week, it's going in my compost pile.

you dont have to switch to 12/12 autoflowers can have 24hr light but i prefer 18/6 that is whats working for me atm but if you did 12/12 then im afraid they never will bloom

Correct. But after 2 months if they haven't started flowing yet, then something is wrong. These are supposed to be done in 65 days.

My plants are not going to flower completely in 8 days.

not an autoflower , but photoperiod switch to 12/12

could happen due to how recessive is the auto trait, or mixed seeds from the breeders do happen as well

autos grow just fine under 12/12 if needed with proper DLI ... i had some autos mixed with some photos a few time.

You probably got a regular seed mixed in by accident. Try flipping to 12 to 12. See what happens in around 2 weeks.

This is her on the bottom left, lots of growth and pistols are starting to show. I was on a 20/4 light schedule but I’ve put it to 24 since the end of last week. Seeing a nice bit of swelling on the buds at the back
