Auto-flower plant on month six

startingfromscratch · May 20, 2023

I'm new to auto-flower and thought they would flower on their own time regardless of lighting. I changed the lighting on this plant at approx. month 3.
If I put auto-flower outside now, will they automatically flower in 6 to 10 weeks, even during the Summer months? Not complaining about the results, but would like to know what is "normal" regarding auto-flower plants/seeds.
Thanks

if you don’t need to because of the smell bring her indoors asap

Leaving it outside will be like putting out a banquet for bugs at this stage while it’s flowering.

If it’s a true auto it might keep flowering after a long time of shock however won’t like the light change and there also a chance it might hermie how slim that is I’ve no idea as I’ve not done it

Obviously your yeild will be dramatically effectived

Good luck

This plant has been in the grow room the entire time. I would just like the know the procedures and mannerisms of auto-flower plants/seeds. When looking at seeds that others sell, they state an estimated time from seed to harvest and my plant far exceeded that.

You wrote auto flower on month 6,, what kind of auto strain are you growing and are you sure it's a auto ? I have been growing auto's for awhile and have never had a plant take 6 months to finish unless it was a non-auto strain , Mine normally finish by 3 months max from seed sprouted , As for your question I don't normally go from tent to outdoor but I have with normal strains not auto's , It can be done but you will stress her because of such a huge change in light , Auto's have a small window before it flower's so you want to make sure you go one way or the other were as a non-auto has plenty of time to work with , She might be ok it's a 50/50 chance she'll hermy,on you she looks good I'd just finish her how you have been growing her to be safe , Good luck , Happy Growing ,

It isn't an auto. I assume the breeder or wholesaler just mispackaged something. Flowers looking good, I hope they are potent, and you enjoy them.
Using proper Autos, you should not have this issue outdoors or indoors in the future. From the bag these came from, you may have the same issue again.

I don’t believe you are not growing autoflowers.

The same thing happened to me. I bought from ILGM blueberry autos and they sent me some that were clearly not. I got a couple blueberry “auto “ that are still going from early January.

Agree with above. Probably got photo seeds. From the look of the good job you have done I would be inclined to stick with photo seeds. You can flip them to flower whenever you want. Indoors.

Where did you get these seeds from and what variety is it? What's your light cycle been?

If it's been on 18/6 or more from day 1......it's an Auto.

It was on 18/6 for approx. 3 months and now on 12/12 for 2+ months. I've entered the details about the seeds above.

Not all of those are Autos. Which seeds did you plant?

Nevermind I see you said it was the Gorilla Glue. I was seeing that as part of the invoice and skipped right over it.

From everything I’ve read, you can run true autos 24-0 and they will still flower between one and two months.

That's what I thought. Thanks

It is what it is. It’s a nice plant. Finish her up and enjoy her! And the season is just getting started for outdoors. You could pop some more beans and do all right if you have a mind to.

Mines this small and started flowering already never heard of one going 6 months

Bought and popped 10 grapefruit autoflower seeds from ilgm and I'm hitting my 6th month. Sprouted June 27th. And now it's Dec 20! 7 out of 10 made it, feel like I should treat it with 12/12.
It's been on 18/6
6month auto?!?

If your autos are 6 months old you might consider not having autos or really fuckt genetics
I could grow 3 tents in that time with autos they only take about 10 weeks from start to finish thier veg is 3-5 normally and flower is 7-10 weeks
