I have a blue Dream Auto just past 11 weeks.It looks nothing like the two I harvested at 10and 11 weeks It is very bushy but has virtually no flower.It is an outside grow in organic soil so I added nothing in the way of nutrients.
Anyhow it is very late if its ever going to flower.Can anyone offer up a solution as to why there are no buds.(sniff)

I’m a newbie so let someone else chime in but I have read that some autos may not be “auto” and may require a 12/12 light cycle for them to flip to flower. Perhaps you got one that needs some help figuring it’s life out

Welcome to the community growmie!
Can you clarify is that 11 weeks since sprouting?
Either way I have heard of autos going longer then 15 weeks.
Thats because no two plants are identical, even clones can display varied. Dont judge your plant buy another plant, even if they are the same strain.
I dont know alot about organic growing yet, is it possible your soil isnt as healthy microbialy? Can you check that? Sorry not much help there. I do know you need to feed the soil to keep it alive with molasses and/or Kelp? Dont quote me on the kelp.
@MidwestGuy is one of the brightest on the boards here. He usually knows the answer to any question asked of him if he doesnt I go with @Covertgrower or @PurpNGold74 they usually know whats up or who to ask.

Yes 11 weeks 2 days exact As I mentioned 2 others harvested @ 9 and 10 weeks! Some leaves starting to brown at the tips I’m going to hang in there with it and see what happens
Autoflowers flower when they want, you can encourage flowering to take place by changing the light schedules to 12/12 to encourage flowering. @GrowingIs4Everyone pointed out.
Pictures really help too.

Thats super fast, even for an autoflower.
Most take 8-10 weeks of flowering after germ and veg of 3 or 4 weeks.

Have 2 blue dream autos right at week 10. Growing outdoors in 5 gallon fabric pots in COM Stoneington soil. Both looking great and the trichomes are clear/milky. Noticed spots on some leaves that has me concerned. Don’t see anything on the undersides so don’t know what’s causing this. Fed 2 tbsp of Buds and Blooms at week 8 but that’s all.

My girls ( also blue ddream autos) are only 48 days old today since popping out of soil. They are moving way faster than I had anticipated.

That’s a good sized Auto. I just grew a Do Si Do auto from Barney’s Farm that is flowering now and is roughly the size of a MATCH STICK!!!

My blue dream autos are 15 days ahead of yours (born 5/1) and I’m hoping to harvest on a week or so. The pistols on the single stalk plant are completely brown, but the other plant still has white pistols. But the 2 stalk plant has trichomes turning brown, but the other has trichomes clear to milky. So it’s hard to figure. Have always read that you harvest when about half of the trichomes are brown.
