Hi everyone, these are my second pair of plants, auto flower wedding cake ilgm nutrients bestva1500 led and a couple Lowes bought leds, my question is can an auto flower revert to veg after 2weeks into flower and start to grow again? If so do I need to go with the a 12/12 light cycle to start flower again? Currently on 20/4 for these 2, I see some of the withered leaves turning green again and the buds have stopped getting bigger, the plants are side by side and the bigger of the 2 is actually the 1 week younger plant? The dog cage was intended to support the plant but it has grown way taller than expected. Any way hopefully these pics will help a bit, overall I think they look great but curious if the autoflowers stop flowering and go back to veg and how to get back to growing big fat buds. Thanks for any advice!! Oh they are week 5 and 4 in flower, the smaller is the older, thanks!
I’ve never seen an auto stop flowering. It is most likely stunted due to overfeeding. What are you observing that leads you to believe it has stopped flowering? Please fill out a support ticket so we can run any potential issues you might have to ground so we can get you back on track. I am particularly interested in what soil you are using and your runoff pH and PPM numbers, as nitrogen toxicity is one of the problems you have.
The most rapid growth a cannabis plant experiences is during the first 4 weeks of flowering. A plant can double its size during the period.
A support ticket will help us help you. Can you please fill out a support ticket? Please include what type of water you are using (RO, distilled, tap.)

Thanks for answering, I am using black gold potting mix, tap water that i let sit for 2 days before using, I don’t measure the ph, house central air w couple fans blowing on them, temp is 75-78when lights on 50-60 humidity goes up and down, is use the ilgm recommended nutes and water, 1 liter every other day, only feed nuts every 2 waterings, so 2 water then one with nutrients, I am Farley careful with my half teaspoon on nutrients but may have put too much, or didn’t mix well I use a half gallon and water them both just after lights come back on, no co2 or anything a pro might use, im just having some fun so not real serious or knowledgeable thanks for advice and I hope I have given enough info, thanks again!
Suggest learning about pH and PPM, as those are your problems. Your most likely problem is that pH is too low and PPM is too high. You’ll need meters. I use an Apera PC60 which measures both pH and PPM. Bluelab also makes quality meters.
Thanks for advice I’ll have to learn more about ph, I guess I’m a bit late as only a few weeks left, the withered leaves turning green again is what is tricking me I think, newbie grower so newbie mistakes Thanks again!!
You have ~7 to 8 weeks to go if they just started flowering 2 weeks ago.
They actually look really good and healthy for not monitoring crucial aspects of growing. Seems to me you have a good water supply, just wait to see what you can do with a ph and ppm meter.
Sorry to mislead on my time line, I noticed the problem plant not growing buds bigger and it growing taller and withered leaves growing green again after 2 weeks of flower, the plant is now at 4 weeks, I was waiting to see if there was a change. Thanks again for advice, overall I do think they both look great just will have to watch ph more for next pair thanks again!!
I knew what you meant, those plants look to be around week 5 of flower to me, sometime during flower you will see growth spurts this could be just a slower period of development but I’m also not saying it couldn’t be a more serious problem with proper testing.
