How long before they flower?

I’ve grown auto flower plants before but my white widow has yet to flower and it’s been seven weeks since potting it! Any thoughts as to how long before she flowers?

I would think start flowering any day. If not already, I would swap. To 12/12 light schedule to try an boost it in the right direction.

I have switched the light cycle thinking the same thing. Nothing much to do but wait! Thanks!

I have had them flower a month apart planted the same day same light. I agree. wait it out. The plus side you’re going to have a bigger plant. Good luck with your autos

I have a Northern Lights doing that right now.
Shes taking over the tent. Two other plants started the same day are about two weeks from finishing , but Ginormica has only the beginnings of buds. But she will produce several ounces by the looks of her. I keep training the branches to keep it under the lights and she just keeps growing.

my first ww autos took 15 weeks in veg. I did everything wrong. so they flower when they are ready. the harvest was great as far as I was concerned but no one else would have thought so.
I have white pistls now after 46 days but I didn’t know to look for them last time.

I am growing White Widow right now. It started flowering in 30 days and is on schedule for harvest on time. That being said, last grow I did Gorilla Glue autos and had the same thing happen… grow, grow, grow and not flower. I switched the light and contacted ILGM. I suggested that perhaps there was a mix up and they were regular plants rather than autos. The customer service rep agreed it was possible. They sent me ten more (I do ten at a time) and they actually finished before the others. I have also found that planting straight into the dirt caused different sprout times, often a week or two apart. Soak for 24 hours, soak up water with a paper towel, keep moist and warm, and when the white tap root shows up, put them into the dirt very carefully. I am not an expert but this has been my experience with timing and sprouting evenly.

By the way, I didn’t ask for them to replace the seeds… I was simply inquiring the possibility of a mistake and what to do. The customer service with this site is right on. Every interaction with them has been awesome.

I thought of that but it has been in the tent with my other plants that are flowering with the light switch, for two weeks now. I still do not see any signs of flowering! I guess I’ll continue to watch it, not much else I can do. I’ve grown several auto flowering seeds but this is a first! Maybe I got a mutant? Thanks for the input!!

I just did glass cup, soak in water for 24hrs in my garage under a box, then just planted them in directly a 5gal pot. Next time I’m gonna germinate then in the grow tent. Check out my post if you want.:hugs:

I soak in a Rubbermaid container with the lid cracked for 24hrs. Then I add a paper towel to soak up the water and put the seeds in the towel spaced apart. I keep them on a shelf above the kitchen sink. When they tap root, I plant in the final grow location. I have bad luck starting and transplanting. I have had 100% success starting plants this way, growing them on the other hand… well. :slight_smile:
