i haven't experienced this myself but have read of multiple people saying the same thing...

if not flowering switch to 12/12 usually within a week you should see it flowering... sometimes the auto genotype doesn't present itself i guess

DO NOT go back to 18/6 (again this is what i have read in about 5 or 6 different threads - haven't had the problem myself... yet... *fingers crossed*)

also true auto's with the auto-flowering genotype will flower under any lightcycle - 18/6 20/4 24/0 even 6/18 (obviously less productive)
and will usually start flowering quite early

is it short stuffs super cali haze? where did you get the pips? are you 100% they genuine?

would like to see some pics if possible - how big are they after 60 days? must be huge by now if they just kept growing haha

They will flower no matter what the light schedule is.....that being said most breeders say it's best to run 18 6 20 4 but I've talked to a few people who still pull an oz off an auto on 12 12

Hello, years after you posted this, but I am curious about one thing. At the time of harvest, what was the total time from start to finish and how tall were your plants ? I have a single AF myself, and I have spotted a few seeds and thinking I might set up a special area dedicated to AF's.
Thanks, great pictures bet it was sweet.

If these girls are 60 days old and have not flowered yet they are not going to under their current light schedule. Switch them to 12/12 and leave them there for the rest of their grow cycle...if you switch back to 18/6 they will revert back to veg as they are not a stable auto strain...I learned this the hard way!!!!

I have a quick question regarding soil and nutes for autoflowers (but I guess this goes for all strains)

I plan on growing Iranian Autoflowers and I will be using PRO-MIX BX mix. My question is, since it's a soilless mix, do I start feeding from seedling with a nutrient or wait until about 2 weeks in? What schedule after that? (I plan on starting them in large cups indoors and then moving them outside to finish) Also, if I want to use FF nutes, which ones do you guys recommend?

Thanks a lot for any advice
