It’s my first grow ever, I am very exited and I will highly appreciate your advice over my concerns.
So here is the deal… I am growing 2 flowers ak-47 I am starting week 7 one of the flower is with great buds the other still struggling to form buds. I did ppm and ph test , I had little issue with cal-mag deficiency but already fix it. I am feeding with fox farm but half of the recommended dosage , water/feeding/water/feeding. My question is why I can’t get the buds on my flower at this point? Btw I am running 24hr. Light cycle since it’s auto.
Sometimes the autoflower gene is weak. You might go ahead and switch to a 12/12 schedule and it will probably flower. It will not hurt a thing to do so. Its gonna get really big when it starts to flower btw.
May I add those look really good. Take pride in that my friend.
I will bever understand why people think just cause its an auto you can go 24 hours light. There is no plant in nature designed to be lit 24 hours a day. The sun is at max up for 18 hrs a day.
Possible one is an auto and the other isnt. Try flipping to 12 and 12. Be sure to keep your DLI up by lowering or intensifying the light to accomodate your shorter light hours. She prolly just needs a nudge. Would you be a pretty flower if you never got to go to sleep?
They can flower at 24/7, but it’s always good to let them have a break. Try going to 12/12 to initiate flower on the other. You can go back up to 18/6 or 20/4.
Ya. Your auto will be fine too. I start autos in my tent all the time to go outside. Tent is for photo grow and it’s on 12/12 now. Planted 3 autos yesterday and they’re in there. Also have a solo cup photoperiod staying on 12/12 the whole grow.
Just flip to 12/12. I believe I can see preflowers on that one so you’re not far from it. Once they do flower for 3-4 weeks you can inch it up to 13/11. I’ve done that with photos to keep my DLI up. But they need to be healthy like yours and well established into flowering. Great job good questions and answers!
They look real healthy.
Thanks for your help I really appreciate your opinion.
Feels good to know that they are healthy since it’s my very first grow and don’t know a lot about growing.
With all your help I feel more confident grower from now on
Only thing I see is that plant needs to flower now or it will outgrow its available space. Another week in veg and it will already be a monster. I would go to 12/12 now and get it going. There are several growers who go to 48hrs darkness before switching photo periods to 12/12. Going from 24/0 to 12/12 wont hurt a thing.
Hey @Bruno_Capone she’s gonna be massive I’m telling you this from my own personal experience… i have a super skunk auto that just started flowering at 8 weeks she’s broke down to and average of 3ft tall 2×4 ft wide with a huge stalk she’s in a 10g pot
I agree, that plant has been growing with few inches every day , unbelievable. Just turn the lights off hopefully that will take care of the issue, thank you for your opinion
