Autoflower Not Showing Sex and Not Flowering

I have a 5 1/2 week old Short Rider Auto not showing any signs of flowering. It looks healthy and is about 8 inches tall. I had the light schedule at 24/0 until last week, then switched to 18/6. I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and switch to 12/12 to see if anything will happen. I've been reading that Short Rider Auto's should be flowering after 3 weeks. any suggestions? thanks guys....

None of the autoflower varieties from Nirvana have autoflowered for me. I let the Jock Horror and NL autos go 60 days on 18/6 with no flowers. Switched to 12/12 and boom! Half the yeild of a non autoflowering plant. A complete waste of my time Nirvana corrected the situation but Im swearing off the autos.

oh well worth a shot i guess... i'll switch to 12/12 and see what happens.... yeah i think next time, i'll go with reg feminized seeds and switch to 12/12 myself. kinda sucks when you can't control anything with these "autos".

well, 2 days after switching to 12/12.. i got my first set of preflowers on my top node... hopefully it will turn out fine being on 12/12, i hear that might not be so good for autoflowers.

I don't think I have ever heard anyone say anything good about auto flowers. I am too much of a control freak to even try those.

switching worked for me!

This old thread was still helpful! I'm switching to 12/12
