hey guys/gals
my first post on here,n need some advice
i have an autoflower bluestreak thats been growing for 4 weeks today n its still not flowering ,they say there supposed to show sex by day 21 for females n 16-17 for males but no sigh ov anything as of yet
does anyone know why it isnt showing sex/flowering yet?
its grown odd from the start its first set of 3 leaves didnt look normal n looked kinda stunted nthe next set of leaves supposed to be 5 but it was another 3fan,n the next was 5 n the one after that was 5fan so like 2 sets of 3fan n now 2sets of 5 if u get me?
could this be why it isnt flowering?
any advice would be great
thanx

The timeframes they give for autoflowers are optimistic. Any stunting or setbacks will push those times back. I wouldn't worry, as long as it is healthy it will come along.

could it still be a male even tho its been well past the time for it to show up as male?

I am having the same problem with my Afghan Kush from World of Seeds. They are at like day 50 and the only flowering is the pic below.

They are getting bigger an bigger and look really healthy. My lowryders 2 that I started at the same time are about ready for harvest.

The three bushy ones are my Afghan Kush, the smaller budding ones are my Lowryders

The only flowering on the Afghan Kush, I think because it is flowering it has some auto-flower properties, but I think that to fully flower it needs to be on 12/12

Lowryder doing its thing.

I've grown autoflowers a couple times and am doing so now. They are day 21 today and not even preflower yet. Don't worry about what anyone says, they are where they are just keep them going.

let me clarify a few things for you.
by using feminized auto seeds you are taking a big risk for two reasons.
1. feminized seeds are a creation of man. they are not natural and are not guaranteed.
2. the autoflowering strains that are available today are all hybrids. they are ruderalis plants that have been crossed with a (typically) indica of some sort. these hybrids are again, a creation of man, and are not guaranteed. most autoflowering strains are not in the least bit stable, and results will vary from seed to seed.

it is very likely that you got seeds in which the autoflower gene was not present. i have read countless other threads of people with the same issue.

personally, i have grown buddha white dwarf, and i loved it. they were all female (yay feminized seeds..?) and the smoke they produced, while meager, was intense.

final words. don't give up on the ruderalis genes. they kick ass and in the future, someone will figure out a better and more stable use for them. for the time being though, i wouldn'tt consider them much more than a novelty.

the best thing since they are supposed to be autoflowering is to keep the pollen and pollenate a female so called autoflower so that you can get then genetics back up and stable auto male+ auto female =auto seeds. or auto hermie + autofemale = auto feminised seeds. because you breeding the male phenos out of the plant to create female genes, but you got to make sure that the other plant is a stable female and wont hermie and you should be good to grow bro

If you read this thread, it's been discussed that some sites get their seeds messed up and youve most likely have a regular plant that will flower when you turn it to 12/12. I'm not sure that youre ak47 would appreciate the sudden change in light schedule, it might screw with it. The more light the better (for autos anyway). I would start taking the other plant out and setting it in a dark area for 12 hrs every night until the ak47 is finished.
