Hi all,

Go easy on me!! We've grown a few of these autoflowers and we're not professional or trying to maximize output here, just trying to keep a close eye make sure we don't kill it and hope to get as much as possible out of the grow situ we have!

So we planted an autoflower at the start of February, our light cycle (as we've always done before) has been 18/6 but we're seeing absolutley no bud developing at all on this one.

We transplanted early in the process as the soil we used was way too nutrient heavy. Tehre was immediate improvement and thigns seemed to be goign well. That's weeks ago now and guess it might still be shock? But any suggestions if there is anything we can do? As it's autoflower I don't think changing the light cycle will do anything or are we jsut growing a nice plant with no bud likely at this point or do we need more patience?

Thanks everyone.

A certain percentage of autoflowers are not, they are photos.
Less than 1 per 1000 has been quoted by sellers but we do see them here.
If it has not popped in this much time I would clear the nutrition issue best you can and throw it under 12-12 and see what happens.
Good luck!

Choice is yours to do a switch or not with the lighting. I'm guessing you got more than 1 in there? It would take a couple weeks to see some female pistols then you could go back to 18/6. Looks sorta crowded perhaps light is not getting to it well enough? How strong is that light?

Thanks for commenting. Trying the switch over now and will see if we get pistols and will switch it back then. I've only got the one in there, the grow tent is 800 x 800 and 1.8 tall and we need to be subtle about our setup, so only 1 in there for now! For a thing that's a "weed" it sure needs some minding to grow!! LOL. In fairness we've had reasonable success with the setup, lighting etc. we have. I don't know strength of light, sorry, but have been happy with results up to this one, it was a specific blooming light we got a few years back as we'd always known we'd use autoflowers!

On day 5 now, so will give it a few more days and see what happens!
