I was hoping someone could list some reasons why a plant (auto lowryder 2) will not flower even when switched to 12/12. I have a 70+ day old plant that wont bud, pistils everywhere but still no bud. I have been on 12/12 for 4 days. 600whps, Soil, Soil Ph - 7.... anymore info needed just ask... thnx

Check for light leaks and feed them some Potassium.

I may be wrong but Autoflowers should be kept under 20/4 throughout the grow. Shortening the light to a 12/12 actually will REDUCE yield/growth. Like I said, I may be wrong.

Your plant should be finished if it's an auto. All I can say is keep it on 12/12. Alot of auto's are unstable but Lwrider is supposed to be one of the better ones. Good luck. Peeace, jethead

I am having the same problem with one of my green o matics from greenhouse. Just one though. If you give it more time on 12 12 it will flower. As far as giving you a bad yield on 12 12 no way. This thing has got to be big already. I know mine is. The growth rate of autos is amazing. Mine just started flowering good about a week ago. I put it outside about 3 weeks ago on natural cycle and it forced it. I also left it in my spare bathroom, no windows, for 3 days in total darkness before it went out. So it was one of the two. Good luck and let us know how things turn out
