18 weeks and not flowering yet.

What's up? 18 weeks and not flowering. I thought autos were supposed to be done by now. Its about 28 inches tall and still growing about a half of an inch per day and on a 18-6 cycle

Most of my photos are less than 100 days seed to chop. More buds for less electric. Still don't understand this autoflower craze.

Obviously, not an autoflower, Switch to 12/12. Hopefully it doesn’t grow out the tent once it stretches out.

its because you can throw in autos if you have to chop a male or two down during flower and still veg an auto during it

I never knew anyone grew autos 12-12. Doesn't that make them runts?

I mean I don't do them so I dont want to speak incorrect info.

I'm with @Mr.GreenthumbOG. I grow autos exclusively and have had this happen twice. I switched to 12/12 to kick start the flowering and went back to 18/6
7days later. But I did this at the end of week 6. Just my experience.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

For sure. Autoflowers well grown should show flowers by week 5/6. If not I’d bump the lighting timers down to initiate blooming by week 8 at the latest.

once again autoflowers sold as the easy choice for beginners, but really shouldn’t be the first choice. I’d recommend all beginners grow feminized seeds, more forgiving, and more time to fix problems.

Hope the OP stays with the threadGL
