So heres the skinny.

I've got 5 Bubalicious 4 AK-48. All are very female. I have 1 Shining silver haze female that is the same age as the autos. Also got 3 3 month old females, still vegging.

I planted the germinated seeds on 11/3. Its almost fucking January and still no bud. WTF! No trace of any bud. All but a 2 are very healthy. 24hr light schedule. But I'm bout to start flowering my big plants(Bubba kush, Sour Cream, Sweet Deep Grapefruit), so the light schedules going to 12/12 in a few days.

I've read on the internet that ak48 should be done in 7-9 weeks. No way mine does. If thats even what it is. Bought from theattitude.


just cut foot bo pics now

I have put a lot of time and effort into these plants. Not to mention the stress. Any help will be very much appreciated.


And I've decied to not be a lazy ass and post some picks. Enjoy!

Sorry about last night. I stepped on a computer case side panel and tore my the sole of my foot open. Lots of blood. Not fun.

Anyways, Here are the pics. I included some of the beginning on the grow and 1 of my only other complete grow under my belt: LowRyder#2.

I'm running a 600 watt HPS 150 watt hps

I have extra lights also. 100 watt HPS(bulb is old) 2x 125( Actual watts) watt horticulture grade CFL's

4 inch inline fan. Got some spare fans too.

I don't think I'll have enough light for all of em.?:confused::?:

Bubba Kush is SO beautifully. I was wanting to try some octo-bondage on her, but wont have room if I flower all.

I guess the only thing I CAN do is to flower all in the same room and hope for the best. No more money for lights unless its a 911 thing(Like if one breaks).

nice plants, the ak48 needed 12/12, some autos do.
So I bought autoflowering seeds that don't autoflower? I"m confused. I've read that Autoflowering strains do their thing and then die or is done and won't do no more. So how does this affect what I have. Will they flower without any problems? I'm preparing the room for 12/12 today.

I bought some AK-48 and bubalicious. Both of which are auto's. Correct?? So either they are auto's that won't flower under 24 hr or I got shitted by the attitude.
the whole definition of "auto" means that they don't need 12/12 to flower. ;)
does it say "auto" on the package?

sorry but your wrong i had 8 auto jock horrors from nirvana and they started flowering when they were supposed to but they only had pistills on nodes for like 2-3 weeks and no advancement but i switched to 12/12 and they just exploaded with pistills:) within 2 weeks 4weeks of bud growth seems like

Mhmm. Well, I guess I'll just flower them and hope for the best....I read somewhere that auto's do their thing and die or quit growing. ie, why you can't clone....So should i be able to flower these without any problems? They are a little over 60 days old.

Well.....my 2 cents....I am currently growing autos as well mine started 9/27 lol...and they are still going....I unfortunately was running DWC and was using my "grow" based nute mix and they would not flower on there own. So I flipped nutes and my lights lol... good luck...when u flip the lights they will flower....I love autos but they are very sensitive :)

Happy Growing

I thought there was issues with the auto strains thats why nirvana stopped selling theirs. They wouldnt flower on their own, you had to switch em.

then they weren't true "auto flowers".

once again, the definition OF "auto flower" is that it flowers regardless of the light schedule.

sounds to me like seed banks are pushing out inferior genetics.

There was about a million threads last month concerning autoflowers that wouldnt flower without 12/12. Im pretty new to the growing community, but arent 'autoflowering' strains a relatively new development?

Although they are all nice and healthy, I wish I had gotten some LR#2. I had a good experience with LowRyder#2. I ran them under 24 hr light schedule. Beautiful crystal covered plants

If anyone cares to know, I was unable to start on 12/12 tonight, I ran into heat issues. Gonna try and pull cool air from under the house tomorrow when my drill is charged. Also, my 4 inch inline fan started vibrating, in a very deep way, at full speed. Not good. I can feel the shit on the other end of the fucking house and its only at 1/3 speed. Probably what I get for buying a cheap one. Gonna see tomorrow if HTG will let me return it under warranty. Trade it in on a nicer one.

I'M READY FOR SOME BUD:evil:. I was planning on harvesting about now.Now its another few months.
