I'm growing my first Auto grow, cream Mandarin xl, AK-47, n blueberry. The creams flowered on day 21 the AK started on day 17 n blueberry started on day 24. This is my blueberry 44 days old. Are u sure they are autos? What light cycle are u running, I'm doing 18 on 6 off.

i was gonna ask the same thing, seems like a long time for autos to sit

Same running 18 and 6 have read a few articles saying that a lot of nl autos are not really autos but then some that say they don’t bud until day 60 I don’t know what to do I don’t want to fuck them up by switching to 12 and 12

You won't fuck then up by going to 12/12. But if then start budding when u switch I'd say u have some photos my friend. That's my opinion not an expert. Hope it helps.

i'd stay where i was for another 2 weeks, if you don't start seeing any signs by then, i would go to 12/12.....if you have anymore of those seeds, try another one, might just have a weird pheno that doesn't express the rudi genes very well

Try giving the autos bloom nutes if you havent been doing so already. This might "trigger" the flowering phase.

Most NL takes awhile guys. It's probably one of the most stable longer running auto's i've grown. With a good pot size it's always a great yielding auto but takes 90+ days for me. I say if you don't see pistils on day 60,flip it.

So I have started bloom nutes on a higher dose about 2 weeks ago And I think I will go 2 more weeks before I switch to 12 and 12 and see what happens. I really appreciate all you guys helping me out!

What size containers? A friend here last year had autos 6' tall. A pro advised him it was likely due to huge holes filled with medium not stopping roots enough to start flowering and he was giving nitrogen during flower.

I have them in 12 inch pots so I would say not to big

more roots mean more fruits....if they haven't started to flower yet, this would be prime time to repot. just be careful, let it dry out good so the root mass stays solid, and gently slip her in a new pot.
