Blue Himalaya (my #5)

This is Olive Oyl. She was hyper-stressed as a seedling & never exceeded 4" in height until 3 weeks ago when I moved her under the hps lights. She is 60 days old today. For the last 4 days she has been on a 12/12 cycle (just because it's the only lit space I have). What I'm wondering is, is 20 days at 12/12 enough light time for this thing to bud up? Breeder says harvest 70-80 days from seed.

You have another 8 weeks till its done. Good luck

I forgot to mention it's an autoflower. 8 more weeks would put me at would put her at nearly 120 days from seed. The breeder claims this auto is ready for harvest in 70 - 80 days from seed.

I never grew an auto but i think you always grow it under a 18/6 light schedule. Never go by a breeders timeline. Learn what a finished bud looks like. Also read some good grow books on pot and gardening.

I've done little but read about them since February. I've learned enough to know that they're finicky. I'm just trying to learn from someone with experience with autos.

No problem. Hope you get some potent weed in 8 weeks

I guess i wasn't clear in my original post. This plant is only on 12/12 because the only lit room I have, right now, is already occupied with photoperiod plants in flower. What I'm trying to find out is will this plant fill out enough, in the short time it has left, to be worth my effort. I know these aren't optimum conditions for it but the alternative is shitty incandescent light from a far away source.
