Help a newbie out with budding of a auto strain.

You been giving them enough nitrogen through there veg stage mate ? Deffo looks like you have a nitrogen deficiency there looking at your lower leaves, you should have seen some pistils by week 7 I'd have thought

That's where I'm seeing nitrogen deficiency, and if you haven't been given them enough nitrogen through veg stage it will have really slowed down growth and bud growth through the flowering stage for you, but you should have seen pistils and that at least by week 4 with an auto

Best take a pic or two in white light,it let's everyone see you're plant/s better.. what medium & light cycle i.e.: 18/6 etc.? The little i can see is in pre-flower. Happy growing

Ps. I have (in the past) went 46 days with mephisto's Sour Livers before I spotted a pistil , and another 40 odd days before creme bubbly showed sex too, so it can take that long to flower with auto's.
Pps. I DO see pistils in your top pic, so still give them sum veg nutes til it's done stretching & ALWAYS give at least some nitrogen through flowering along with your bloom nutes.
Good luck and happy growing

Yeah sometimes I can take a while, I know some can take quite a while, but I'd have thought you'd have seen something by week 7, some autos have been known to need 12/12 to induce flowering like, try switching to 12/12 see if that's any help mate :)

The bleaching of newer growth could be due the growlight being too close to the canopy, not a really big issue imo. You could always try to slightly up your grow feed, since it can probably still rock a week or 2-3 of grow nutes, before you switch it over to a bloom formula. Doesn't look so bad at all! Don't really rely on the adverstised growingtime, in reality it will turn out that it could take weeks longer. Also every plant has it's own biological clock so you never really know which plant will finish first, unless it's finishing ofc haha.

Most of the bleaching dose seem to be on the lower fan leaves from I can see tho, and the way it looks does look to be nitrogen deficiency

Ok. I’ll get better pictures in a little while. There’s white hairs at the new growth if that’s what pistils. But, I thought, through my research, Brown tips and brown spots on the leaves meant too much nitrogen.

I hope these are better.

Good good man, they don't seem to be budding at all no, weird for week 7 that give them another week or so, if nothing comes of them then switch them to 12/12 and in about a week or so that should help them with flowering :)
