Live Stoner Chat 8 weeks into a photo that I was TOLD was an Auto. What to do??

[Boradan]

Just received an email from the company I purchased my seeds from telling me that the Auto seed I received (freebie) is not actually an Auto at all, but a Photo.
This is a touch of a Pain in the ASS as I have nowhere to move the plant to and am stumped for what to do now.
As far as I can see it, I have 3 options:

1. Pull it and throw it away.
2. Switch to 12/12 lighting to get it to flower - but that will reduce the yields of the 2 Autos I have running in the same tent.
3. Keep going as I am until I get the Autos harvested and then switch to 12/12 for the Photo.

The damned thing is taking half of my tent now though, and will be a monster by the time the Autos finish....

For those on Tapatalk, this is my grow journal:

What do you guys recommend??

no easy answer here !

personally i think i would drop to 12/12.. if i liked the look of the photo ! else i would chuck the photo, and start some "real" autos asap to help refill the tent

not much help, but my 2 cent

I like the idea regarding new autos, but I can't really start some new autos as its in an RDWC system with 4 pots, so the new Auto's would be getting Bloom nutes from Day 1

The Photo DOES look good though. No nute issues and its covering about 45% of a 4x4 tent currently

then go 12/12 and get the most from the photo ... your autos will still finish fine under 12/12 ... maybe just let them, go a few days longer

I vote 12/12 as well.

Thanks guys for the assistance



When flowering a Photo, do I need to keep it 12/12 until finish?

Short answer is yes, otherwise it will start to revert to veg
