This is my 3rd grow so I’m still learning.
I’ve got 2 Acapulco gold auto from MSNL. BOTH 54 days from sprout.
50/50 coco perilite, ff cream of the crop.
Currently lighting with SF 2000 and SF 1000, light upgrade is next on the list. PPFD 1000 on the flowering and 500-550 on veg. 18/6 schedule. Autopots system using Jacks 42 with silca, ppm 1200. ph 5.7 to 5.9.
Problem is one plant is three weeks in flower and one is still happy as can be staying in veg, Should I switch to 12/12 or just ride it out and let her do what she does. They both seem health. I’m just concerned about difference in growth and that causing a problem with different lighting requirements. Any advice appreciated

I would. It won’t hurt the other. Nearly 8wks is on the longer side for autos to wait.

Are both of your lights in the same tent?
If they are in same tent from looks of plants both lights should be dialed in together same PPFD, and the breeder stated flower time is just a common starting point, some autos take 4 weeks then flower some will wait 8 weeks depends on her. And you can flip to 12/12 if she is not ready to flower she will just sit their. I would dial both lights in to 800ppfd and ride 18/6.
This is just personal experience and what I am currently dealing with.
Entire tent full of autos, purple kush auto and Gooseberry syrup auto.
An auto can’t be forced to do anything.

Yes the 200 watt is over the one in flower. The 100 over the one in veg.

Dial both light to make even 800PPFD and stay on 18/6 you can’t force an auto to flower it has an internal clock.

Thanks, that’s what i was kinda thinking. I’ll adjust the lights to get 800ppfd. So 800 isn’t to much for the one in veg?

Nope. She is on the cusp of flower she will be fine.
Do those look like the same strain

Looks can be deceiving, look at the purple kush community grow. Everyone getting different looking plants.
It does have alot more foliage then the other one. I bought them at the same time so hopefully msnl didn’t send me a different strain seed mixed amongst the 5 seeds.

I would be more worried about the seeds from MSNL not germinating rather then them being different in a 5 pack. Personal experience

I have a limited sample size but so far I am 7-7. I’m going be trying different breeders just to get a feel for who has good genetics. My first grow was 3 bruce banners which gave me 17 oz. of great bud. next grow was a little disappointing, 5 oz with 2 wedding cakes. I way over fed in veg with ff trio and pretty sure I stunted them. Live and learn i guess.
