Hi everyone first time grower here and I Am not sure if my autos from ILGM are actually autos. Back 3 in 5 gallon pots are ILGM AK-47, BubbleGum, and White widow. Front three in 3gallon pots are Mephisto s.o.d.k, double grape x Skywalker, and samsquanch og. grown in a layer mix of fox farm soils, strawberry fields on bottom half of the pot, and a 50 50 mix of ocean forrest and happy frog. PH always kept in between 6.2 - 6.8(I aim for 6.5). I top dress with Dr. Earth dry amendments, did a quarter cup of veg and a half cup of all purpose around week 3, and a quarter cup of all purpose and half cup of flower girl around week 6/7. I also use recharge every 2 weeks and give fish Sh!t every watering. cal mag is used every watering as well since I use ro water(well water in my house is trash). temp is 80 with the lights on and 67 with the lights out, and humidity is always around 50 percent. my light cycle is 18 on and 6 off but these girls are almost at week 9 and I’m not sure if I am just being impatient, if its unstable genetics( after I bought these genetics I herd a lot of bad and mix reviews about them), or these are photos! any advice or criticism is greatly appreciated just trying to learn and be around the plant I love and give them a good life lol.
To me they look like there about flower closer pics around the nodes would be good
I will take a few pictures asap! thank you!
Not a problem some autos take i little long to start flowering u can put th on 12/12 to get th started and then go back to a 18/6 cycle
Everything looks good, so far I haven’t had an auto go over a month without going into flower - one did it at 16 days.
What kind of lights are you using? It’s hard for me to tell. The only thing I can think is that they don’t have enough light - if they were all the same strain, I’d put it down to genetics but since they are all different I suspect the tripping factor is something affecting them all.
But yes, I have heard you can get them going by doing a 12/12.
sweet! I don’t mind waiting a little longer on 18/6 Im trying this whole perpetual growing thing out and do not want mess with the younger 3 I just started two weeks ago so I wasn’t really sure what to do. but if you think its in pre flower and I am on the right track that makes me feel a lot more confident, maybe I will have to switch them tho.
They look like there going to start soon how old are they cause they normally dont start to flower until week 4 and 6
around 9 weeks old, sprouted on January 14th. one of Them is a week or two behind( white widow, the large plant located in the right front side of the tent).
Ok you can try this to get th to start change ur light cycle to 12/12 for a few days until u see the pistols then change back to 18/6
thank you for the help! I appreciate your time!
No problem at all anytime
Take a picture of your seed packages if you still have seeds remaining.
Only the AK-47 are autoflower, the other two are not.
The first three letters are the type. The “F” stands for fem. The “A” is for auto, if not there, it isn’t an auto. The “P” is assume is for “pack of…” followed by quantity in bag.
Like @CMichGrower stated, only the AK-47 is auto. FP stands for Feminized Photoperiod. You can flip to 12/12. The bigger ones will double, possibly triple when flowering starts. You may want to isolate them if you don’t want others to get off of cycle. Good luck and happy growing!
I have nothing to add regarding your question. I just wanted to say that mat is beautiful
