Gorilla glue, Bruce banner and Girl scout cookies extreme all at week 6 and no signs of flowering. Both indoor and outdoor grow. Light schedule indoors is 16/8. Do I flip the lights to 1212 to initiate flowering Or just be patient? I was under the impression that changing the light schedule does not affect autoflowers

Autos do their own thing. She’ll be along in a bit. Be patient.

Not good.The foliage around the outdoor girls will be dead in a couple of months And I’m supposed to have surgery early October Leaving no 1 to tend to the indoor Girls. I started them July 1Hoping that everything would be jarred up By mid to late September.
Switch em to 12/12. Others have done it with some success but they’ve usually been vegging longer than 6 weeks…maybe a kick in the butt gets them moving and you still hit your deadline

Welcome to the community BlackWidow, are you counting the 6 weeks from the time they went into the ground or broke ground? If so, back 2 weeks off of that 6. If that’s the case at 4 week plus you’ll start seeing signs of pre-flower any day🤟

I run a 6/2 light schedule after the 2 weeks of seeding for my autos.
I guess when they say in the description expect full flowering in 6-8 weeks It must mean 6-8 weeks after showing signs of flowering.That really needs to be clarified because if I would have known that I would have ran standard photoperiod.
Welcome to the community ! The auto’s being late flowering the advantage you’re going to have a bigger plant. They normally flower between four to seven weeks but you can get a stubborn one. As @Pinboy mentioned cut light to 12/12 give them a nudge.
Yes that’s the case. I would bank on 7-8 weeks on most statins from first signs of flowering
Hey man…Im pretty new myself…In my tent I have 4 autos (2 different strains), it’s been almost 6 weeks since planting. I germinated them, and planted when they had a 2cm tail.
The one strain has nice flowers developing, the other strain, it shows sex and everything, and the “bud sites” are obvious, but no preflowers yet. 6 weeks and no flowers???
But, that’s from the day I put the seed in dirt. When do you actually start counting “Day 1”??? People say autos usually veg 3-4 weeks before begin flower. Is that including the 10 days of your seedling phase?
I feel like they should be flowering by now. Be patient or chuck em? They are all Mephisto Autos.
Most autos will flower at btw 4 and 7 weeks. We have seen a few go as long as 12 weeks before flowering. One not flowering at 6 weeks is not surprising and is not indicative of a problem.

You’re correct, I’m sorry. I don’t count the first 2 weeks. I consider it my seedling stage. I don’t start counting veg till day 15. So you’re correct, my fault. If I counted day 1 it popped, yes, I have MANY that go 6 weeks without flowering. My fault bud 
. happy growing God bless 
Ask 10 different growers when the transition from seedling to veg is and you’ll probably get 5 different answers.
