Need knowledge! Auto flower not flowering, 6 weeks old!

bombbosa · Jul 22, 2013

Hey people!
Just wondering if anyone could give me any help with this issue..
I have a super iced grapefruit auto here, 6 weeks old from when it broke the ground with it's first leaves..
And I can not see any signs of flowering at all!
The plant has never had any problems with deficiencies, and has always look very healthy.
it has been lst'd (as you can see by how bushy it is)..
Anyone have any ideas as to why this could be, and suggestions on what to do?
Oh and the plant has been on an 18/6 light cycle since the beginning.
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions offered :weed:

some autoflowers have been know to take the sativa/indica side more than the ruderalis and will require a 12/12 light cycle. this does not happen very often and is "rare" to put it nicely. most autoflowers will turn at 3 week mark, this being said it could also be a weird stain that takes longer as autoflowers only downside is that it will only veg for a certain amount of time. give it to the 8 week mark, if it hasnt flipped into flower try a 12/12 cycle. you might just have a rare strain on your hands that will be a larger producing autoflower.
either way good luck bombboasa

Nope, absolutelt no sign of pre flowers ): Just beginning to worry is all.. But people are telling me to just wait it out, so I'll just keep an eye on it.. And maybe kick it into a 12/12 light cycle after a couple of weeks.

Hmm, I shall definitely take a look at that. I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not channging the light from a cool white colour for veg, to a red 2700k, would it help bump the auto into flowering? Or would it be bad idea changing the light until it starts to flower?

Agree, 90 days for outdoor autos in the u.k. 10 plants over the last 2 years have taken the full 90 days. Some Odd buds though on a couple of plants

Not sure if its the seeds, stress or change in weather that mucks them up?

mine didnt have enough (P) or (K) was starving and holding back from flowering
switched over to flower nutes after a flush and it got back to business
