Got some Green crack from fast buds in week 6, two of them are under a 5000k light and two are under a 3000k light. Along with the 5000k light i have 2x 35w far red from HLG, the far red lights are on 21 hours a day and the 5000k and 3000k are on 20 hours a day. So the far reds are on 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after the 5000k turns on/off.

But they arent flowering. The ones under the 5000k are showing pistils so theres signs of them turning into flower, but i think they are really slow, especially since they are supposed to go from seed to harvest in 8 weeks as advertised. I wasnt expecting them to be that fast but im worried they are gonna take alot longer than planned right now since they havent gone into flower yet.

im starting to wonder if they arent actually autoflowers, and that they might need 12/12 before they transition...

Has anyone had a similar experience ? when is it okay to say they arent gonna autoflower and give them 12/12?

Not the first person I heard of getting photo seeds for the price of Auto's from Fast Buds.

I know, it has actually happened to me before too from the same seed bank, but it was with 1 out of 3 plants, this time it looks like it might be all 4.

Do you have an opinion on how long i should keep them on 20/4 before all hopes of autoflowering are out ? Should i just give them 12/12 right away ?

Seen this a lot lately. Flip them and you will probably get your answer.

Yeah, I would just go ahead and flip them to 12/12 if they're the size you want to flower them. You will just have to go ahead and grow them as photo's from here on out I guess.
 
If they are photosyntesis plants or even if they are autos, are they gonna stretch alot from this point and onwards? That might give me problems.
 
They arent showing much progress, i switched to 18/6 a coupple of days ago hoping that would get them into flowering, but nah. They have grown quite tall tho, so my question is, should i trim them a bit before going into 12/12? They might cause problems if they end up doubble the size they are now.

Might as well. Probably late to train them. Defoliate them a little.

Yeah, they filled out the canopy properly so not much room to tie them down much more, ill defoliate and top them some to get the canopy nice and even and tomorrow ill give them a 12 hour night
