Auto not flowering after 50 days?

[Captspaulding]

Brother, you are correct when you say the learning never stops! You and most everyone else who comments on my posts know so much more about this plant than I can ever hope to know, but I'm not giving up!

A little backstory about me and growing that will hopefully provide a little humor to start the weekend. I didn't plan on growing indoors this year. I don't really have a good setup for indoors and have 4 photos currently going outside. But I live in zone 7b, Southeast US and am just now really understanding the challenges involved in growing where it rains a lot, gets to 100 degrees some and the humidity regularly sits at 60 to 90 %. So, I figured I'd grow a few autos inside just to get something to smoke relatively quickly, compared to photos.

I'm using a rig I've had for probably 25 years. Here's where you'll get a good laugh-it's a 400-watt metal halide/high pressure sodium light system. Hot as hell and sucks down electricity! I wonder how many people still use non-LED lights besides me?

Anyway, just thought I'd hopefully give y'all a little chuckle. I ain't smart but I am persistent! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

There are a lot of growers who still use HPS
They never ever deal with mag deficiencies

Oh, and another thing the whole Auto’s finish sooner that’s not necessarily true dude like at all it’s all about when you flipped to flower with photos, the flowering times are generally still the same, it’s also about ripening some people like to have more CBD or CBN conversion in their flowers which takes a longer time on stalk in flower and in that instance, you can have photos that finish way before an Auto does.

If you don't want to flower your photoperiod indoor, and don't want to switch them to 12/12 , then you have another extra plant for outdoor.

Yessir, that's exactly what I did today! Now I have 2 autos outside (flowering Blue Dream and the Green Crack) with 4 photos and only my Durban Poison and Wedding Cake autos inside.

Yeah, I should have phrased that differently. I'm doing my photos outdoors and trying to have some of those gigantic trees I've seen so many outdoor people do, but I've never been able to. And keeping my autos indoors hoping for something to puff on well before the end of summer.

Paint them nails. This shows yellow tips WITH NO CURLING. As long as the leafs are stable and upright this indicated a balance of lights and nutrition.View attachment 2459545

My girl must be Goth cause her nails look black!
