Autoflower not flowering 7 weeks

[NinjaMaster]

Hi Guys,

I have 2x 7 week old Autos growing indoor with LED.
They both have Pre Flowers for about 2 weeks now. They both did the Pre Flower Stretch.
But its starting week 3 of pre flower stretch and they aren't stopping.
They also aren't developing more pistils. Just a few here and there.

Does the fact that they made some pre flowers and stretched mean that they are Autos?
or can this happen with a photo period as well?

I have switched them to 12 / 12 light cycle to try force them.
They where originally on 20 / 4 light cycle.

I have been feeding heavily with Veg Nutes the whole time - but ive now slowed down and changed to flower nutes.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Sounds like you are/were impatient, and in the process did everything wrong. I suggest you leave the lights at 18/6, flush with ph balanced water and LEAVE IT ALONE FOR A WEEK. Then you will know your answer.

Feeding heavily, theres your problem, probably nutrient locked. Feed nothing but ph water correctly for a few days and see what happens, but id put them back to 18/6 or 20/4 also. Might be worth flushing the soil first

I've had (supposed)autos that didn't auto flower I had to flip em to 12/12 to get em to bud...any plant will preflower if mature enuf I get preflowers round week 3-4 in veg under 24hr light...if it were me I'd leave em 12/12...whether that pheno is a legit auto or reg if it's a female it'll flower either way... could b that particular pheno isnt exhibiting auto traits

Fuck this. im throwing them out and buying new seeds from a more reputable seed bank.
Piece of shit. Ive never had Autos fail like this. I do flush once a week and there is no lockout. I checked.
Im starting again.

I bought cheap beans from a shit seed bank...

At this point ive done Loads of grows using autos. ive been cycling autos for the last 1 1/2 years.
I harvest every 2 months roughly.
This is my first time having an auto not flower and also my first time buying shit seeds at a lower price from a new seedbank. Ill just go back to my old seed bank which is more expensive but the autos actually flower.

Shit throw it outside or Sumthin ...I wouldn't jus throw it away... there's always hope

How long ago did you switch to 12/12? Why do all that work and give them away? What do the plants look like. You sound very impatient.

My plants look fucking amazing ok. They are Huge and Lovely. No yellowing. Happy as fuck.
But 7 - 8 weeks in and no flowers. they are supposed to AUTO.
They can get the heck outta here for all i care.
my new auto beans will be here tomorrow! they on the way with the courier.

Sorry but this thread is now pointless. if i knew how id delete it.

If it makes you feel better ill post pics of my new girls when they have huge buds in the next 2 months. (this is normally how long my Autos take to start looking fat)

And yes I am impatient - that's why i grow Autos and not Regular Fems.
I have done regular plants and i gave up growing for a long time because they just took too long.
Then i tried some autos and they finished up so quick... I mean they may be smaller but im growing for myself. i dont need a lot - but i want variety - so i can do lots of different strains much quicker with some autos.

"Huge" Autos...this I gotta see...

They definitely are not Autos dude. thats why they got so huge.
They where supposed to be autos. but they arent. thats the whole fucking problem. im so pissed off.

I am very happy with small 2 oz Yeild per auto.
Thats my average. works GREAT for me.
Sometimes i even get 3 oz

I’m fine either way just seemed like a long time to invest just to basically toss them. Where do you get your seeds from?

Im very happy with the Autos i get from this site.
Good pricing and they work every time. Flowering always starts in about 3 weeks from seed.
2 - 3 oz per plant usually for me.

When they had Auto Ak i managed to get 4oz off 1 auto.

Jus curious why u so stuck on growin autos tho?...space?...ya never know whatchu have there right now that ur so mad at could b the dankest pheno u ever had in ur garden...I'd hate to get rid of it n miss out on Sumthin potentially special...in my experience theyre all special in their own way jus some more than others...u never know how it's gonna turn out...unless ur cloning

 

[CFL MAGIC]

It's at the point of flowerin right now I'd jus finish...it'd b quicker than startin over

 

[NinjaMaster]

i have a very small grow space. autos only.
i can grow 2 autos and it fills my entire space.
i will never ever grow photoperiod plants. even if i have more space ill just keep filling more autos.

they are very easy to grow and i have it dialled in. now i dont want to learn about photo plants thanks. id rather spend my time learning a new skill in something else.

but if you are so keen on making sure these plants flower then you can have them?
come get them. just fly here and take them away...

It just takes about a week or so of 12/12 depending on the light, environment, and all that.
