Autos That Dont Auto!!!

Heh guys, im concerned that my Northern Light Autos might not Auto. They are from Nirvana seeds and Iv read a few bad reports about them. Im half way in to the third week since seed, Im wondering how long I should leave them before I flip them to 12/12.

Also, if I flip them to12/12 and they start to flower, would I be able to flip them back to 20/4, or would they just return to veg state?

Most autos don't start flowering till 21 days after seed anyways. Give it a week and a half more. Just be patient.

if in the next week they dont show pre flowers, i would be a little nervous. i personally had bad experience with nirvana autos. if they wont flower on 20/4 you might want to find some new auto genetics, which i would anyways.

If it is truly auto it wont return to veg when goin from 12 to 20.  Light cycles only control photo growth stages.  Like the other post said, give it another week and you should definately start seeing sign of pre-fower if it is an auto.  

YOUR LIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE ON 20/4 EVER. for reg seeds do 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flower, idk about autos

I dont know what you're talking about man. My auto's are doing fucking fantastic in 20/4. They are autos, you don't need to put them to 12/12 for flower. If you want to maximize yield, stick with 20/4 or 18/6 from seed to harvest.

I've heard almost all bad reports regarding Nirvana's autoflower line. They were originally released about a year and a half ago, but were pulled because of so many complaints about them not autoflowering. They were recently re-released after being "reworked" but I haven't heard any reports either way this time around. Give them another week, maybe 10 days, and if they don't show any hairs by then I'd probably put them on 12/12 for the remainder of the grow.

Same as above, I've heard many negative things about Nirvana's auto strains.

14 weeks for them mate , i switched mine to 12/12 after five weeks to induce flowering and left it on that till the end.

How did they turn out? Was the yield reduced because of the 12/12 you think?
