Ilgm sweet mix / zkittlez not blooming

Greetings, question! I have the wedding cake back left… Gelato middle and back right. And then two zkittlez up front, a baby and a full veg! My question is, I planted the zkittles the same time as wedding cake and gelato , and they are in full bloom! The Kittles has been planted at least five weeks and it has stayed in veg… I think it’s still growing… Is it possible to get stuck in veg and not bloom? Will it eventually make psitils and bloom?

Yes. Autoflowers often flower at different times. I’ve seen them take up to 12 weeks, but most will flower at some point between 4 and 7 weeks.

So it wasn’t that long ago a post was made with a (if i remember correctly was a Zkittles), supposed to be an autoflower.
It veged fir the entire seed to harvest of others planted with it.
They switched lights to 12/12 and it finally started to flower about 13 days later… conclusion with it was that it most definitely was a photo period.
Weather seed mix up or a genetic misfire is anyones guess :man_shrugging:
I’m not saying this is the case with yours, sometimes autos just go longer and typically get huge when they do :grin:

But could be a pattern with similar posts so close with same concerns… just something to think about.

So I actually don’t remember for sure but I do believe it was or maybe i just assumed it was.
I’ll try to find the post.

Found it, it says “Zkittles that stopped flowering” but it had only shown sex it hadn’t ever started flowing. About 70 days in they put it on 12/12, 3 days later it started transitioning.

That’s exactly what I needed to do and she’s in full flower now. Wished I would have flipped her way sooner because all it caused was a bunch of defoliating. And some extra growth. Lol… thanks pappy!!!

Yes, could be the photo gene is dominant. Switch your lights to 12x12 and see her shine.

I’ve had a Wedding Cake auto from ILGM not bloom until I switch to 12x12.

Defoliate and switch to 12x12.

Ya… ummm any idea how to switch lighting to 12 12 when I have 4 other plants using 20 4 lighting… Just take the plant out and put in in the closet for 12 hours?

I just waited for my other autos to about finish and trimmed the late bloomer until about two weeks before harvesting her tent mates. Went to 12x12 for them lot.
Worked out real well. The Wedding Cake had grown large and was able to finish her alone in getting all the love. Really nice buds on that one.

Are the other plants also auto flowers?

If so then it will not effect them at all…

She’s doing well in full flower. She’s getting a top dress and defoliated today
