I played it safe with 12/12. In 6 days, it started flowering.
I’ve grown LowRyder#2, AK47, Super Skunk, Amnesia Haze, Northern Lights, and White Widow also (all autoflower). They all flowered on their own using 24/0 cycles (and grew a bunch of very nice buds).
Only blueberry had problems with it. On the other hand, it’s the largest of those.
Does it hurt the plants at all to keep them in veg longer than they should be
That’s the beauty of photoperiods. They can veg as long as you want. Until they get 12/12 lighting they are just gonna keep growing!
Unless of course it is an auto and I will do it all on its own under 12 12 or 18 6 for 24 hours i’ve grown and on all 3 18 on 6 off is best for autos everybody needs a little rest
These are autos. I feel like these should be in preflower phase by now but I don’t know what to look for anyway. There are no little hairs on the tips yet.
Do you think I am okay to start Flowering now. These are Autos but it looks like they will need some intervention to get things kick started.
I am going to change the light schedule from 24 to 18 - 6 then down. I will be emptying the reservoir and cleaning the system out as much as I can tonight. Flowering nutes will be added in once I refresh the reservoir. Should I ease them in the Flowering nutrients…start with a low dose or does it not make a difference.
Let me know
How old are your girls @Astrocreep ? They only look to be a month old?
I would keep them 18/6 until they flower or all the way through. Autos don’t flower because of light schedules like a photoperiod does.
Yep Week 5. They look super healthy but slow growth.
They smell fantastic
I can imagine. I love the smell. My wife, not so much!
@Astrocreep it means that pre-flower has begun. Sort of a transitional period. Two weeks from today would be about when you will be flowering (full flower)
Will the stretch begin now or two weeks from now. How long will the Flowering process take.?
I am still getting all kinds of new growth
The next 3-4 weeks they are gonna grow like crazy. The most pronounced growth will be in about two weeks!
