"Auto" issue

[Dreadlockdaddy]

Problem:

14 weeks no flower, "bud" sites growing bleached now browning

Medium/grow method:

Third regular compost (brand unknown) third coco and third perlite

Feed: and supplements used:

Advanced nutrients jungle juice, twice a week at 10ml to 5l of water, recently upped to around 15ml. With the additional 5ml being advanced nutrients big bud bloom in an attempt to support going into flower.

water source:

Pond water

Strain/age:

Barneys farn tangerine dream auto (I suspect mix up, I think it's a photo)

light used:

The sun, greenhouse grow

Climate:

Fluctuates due to greenhouse and countries climate, 2 months ago saw temperatures over 50 degrees for a couple of days during a heatwave. Average is around 23 degrees with 40% humidity after deploying fans and dehumidifier.

Additional info:

"auto" supposed to be 70cm and finished at week 11. Shes now 14 weeks, 136cm and no flower, does have female calyxs though. I suspect photo. I ddefoliated, her growth sites bleached out, I thought preflower glow but now they're growing kinda brownish. Peculiar.

@Dreadlockdaddy Welcome to AFN.

No doubt she is not an auto. Sometimes the Auto genes can be recessive in an expected auto seed. No two seeds are the same. She will not go into bloom until the night time (in total darkness) is 12 hours or more long. Even the pilot light from a device can prevent flowering.

You have a micro nutrient deficiency going on and maybe overall underfed. You need to feed balanced nutrients all of the time you feed. Mixing compost with coco in equal ratios (perlite does not count) make your pot neither soil or coco. Each requires different fertilization schedules and styles, there is no happy medium. Choose one or the other in future grows.

I would do a foliar application of Earth Juice MicroBlast and apply a good balanced veg nutrient to the pot.
