44 days in and still not flowering

[realer_dn_most]

I think that «3 weeks to flower» only is valid when you have the right conditions.
If it’s too cold, too dark or something else that stunt the growth then I guess it takes a longer time until the auto will flower

Don't be so worried yet! Some autos take 90-100 days and start to flower closer to day 60. I've successfully saved an auto my friend had growing for 9 months and somehow he never got it to flower in that time frame

Im gonna go with majority and say wait a bit. If you hit 45+ then initiate flower with 12/12. Unless u want a huge plant; then wait it out.

-- really really weird that two different strain/breeders plants have been so slow of switch,... neither are known for such problems,... something to do with your environment I suspect,.. try switching the lights to bloom spectrum as well, and hit them with bloom nutes,... get us normal light pics too, I'd like to see what the growth at the very tips are like,.... :smoking:

Many LED don't have enough white spectrums. You can put a couple CFLs for your next grow. I learned this the hard way. Adding some CFLs to an LED setup is a good way to add some stretch to your low power setup. The white, 5000k and up for veg and early flower, will help your autos catch up with their internal clocks. LED only for flowering stage. Keep the lights close and that may be all your setup needs


P.S. turn your pinks off for pictures!

hey AFNers,

i have 3 plants going atm, 1 blackberry and 1 stardawg both from fastbuds and GGG2 from dr krippling. its day 44 with 20/4 light schedule, with biobizz soil and nutes and the stardawg and GGG2 still aren’t flowering. the blackberry is coming along nicely with purple bud site starting to swell and smell amazing. the other two are just vegging away with no signs of pistils still. they were all LST’d and the GGG2 and blackberry were both snapped during LST but repaired with duct so they survived.

what should i do? any help will be appreciated guys:smoking:

I recently had a mephisto sour bubbly that took 7 weeks to begin flower. It was a big yielder.
Right now I've got a World Of Seeds NorthernLights x BigBud that's 7 1/2 weeks from sprout, and is just starting to flower.

My experience is that autos can take anywhere between 2 and 8 weeks to start flower.
The longer it takes, usually the bigger the plant, and the bigger the harvest.

Many LED don't have enough white spectrums.

"white" is not a spectrum per se, mate, it's a combo of many wavelengths with a very wide range of balances for horticultural purposes,... COB's are more commonly known for "white" light... otherwise single diode LED's generally produce only 1 wavelength,.... well engineered LED's don't need any supplemental light added to them, if more stretch is desired, one can always fire up the bloom bands on the light if applicable,...
.... not sure what you mean by internal clock catch-up? This is not under the control of lighting with auto's....

@realer_dn_most problem solved!

5 oz dry.
It was with 3 other plants in a 3 ft x 3 ft tent with dwc setup.
Some branches got 6 ft long, grew into the lights, and had to be bent over.
