New problem..
Our ak48 is in week 11-12 and the buds are not developing fast at all. Budding began at the end of July and the progress (if any) has been extremely slow. Any input on why this is happening?

Budding began the last week of July.

This is week 12 since sprout. We are nearing week 4 on budding. Indoor grow 600 hps..fox farm soil..they are very testy about nutes so we give 1/4 strength of botanicare pro-bloom 1-4-5, maximizer 0-10-06. There are 3 plants in our 4-5 mylar grow room.

i havent grown ak48 but ive got seeds sittin just waiting to pop, i got them from a friend in here and i don't recall him sayin he had any problems, ive also spoken to a few other people that have grown it and again no one reported any issues but i'll drop him a line and ask if he did and get back to you, maybe sum others will give u some advice in the mean time. maybe just slow seeds, some are.

they will fatten up just be patient and be careful with nutes. If its only week 4 of budding then you still got like 4-5 more weeks left till finish. and make sure you on a 12/12 or 11/13 light schedule. peace happy blazins!

We have them on 12/12 ..but dont autoflowers develop regardless of light cycle? Thanks for any input. Just worried me because our vertigo shot up and out in 60 days no problem. Dr. grinspoon is now budding and it is not an autoflower. These plants have been very healthy, didnt know if we stunted them somehow.
