Blue Mystic Feminized Autoflower

Any of you ever grown this strain? If so, when did she start flowering? Mine will be three weeks this week on Thursday. She is short and bushy. No signs of sex yet.

From what I've seen most autos generally go into different stages around the same time. There may be a week or so difference, but usually week 4-5 is when preflowering/flowering begins. First 3 weeks is usually veg. For your reading pleasure: https://www.rollitup.org/auto-flowering-strains/531344-autos-life-cycle.html

Thanks man I forgot about this. i am now turning over on week 5 and still no pistils. i am running out of space.

Have you tried to train the plants? I've reduced my 1 foot plants to about 7-8 inches with just a bit of LSTing. If you're growing in a confined space LSTing or SCROGing are your only options and are a must. Topping isn't really recommended with autos unless you do it early, I'm not a fan of stressing a plant out too early though. You obviously can't super crop for the same reasons.

I did LST early. I am going to do it soon once it flowers. When do you think it will flower? I am pushing week 5 this thursday and still not pistils.

I'm personally not a fan of Nirvana's autos because of their history of not being true autos. That being said you should start seeing preflowers(pistils) within the next 2 weeks or so. My Barney's Blue Mammoth showed at week 6 while my World of Seed's Northern Lights x Big Bud at week 7 has yet to show any preflowers I can see. It's just strain dependent I guess is what I'm trying to say. At around week 8 if you haven't see any preflowers/flowers I would consider switching to 12/12.

Week 4-7(usually) is when the strech starts. If you LST when the plant stops growing vertically then all you're doing is bending the places the buds come in. You want to keep LSTing so for nodes get more light and start catching up with the rest of the plant. No reason to stop.

Were your plants auto's? Id hat to wait to week 8 and then photo her to only go another 8 weeks if she isnt true auto? So yours auto'd at 8 weeks?

Yea they're autos. I trust that WoS has stable genetics so I'm guessing it's just taking a long time. It's not like it's hard to get the autoflowering gene to be 100% in crossbreeds anyway.

yeah i belive im on schedule now too after reading autos life cycle again. my plant has not grown vertically much the passed couple of days and is starting to smell stronger. my first photo grow stunk bad right before flowering. turned out male though. lol.

Also, At week four i noticed little calyx's developing. about to touch week five so i am crossing my fingers she will display her goods.
