New Grower auto not auto?

[Eastwood]

Anyone ever got auto seeds that weren’t? I have 5 Ruderalis Indica reg Autos growing. They are monsters. I now have 4 different strains and everyone showed their sex by week 4 (except the AK that is showing flowers at week3). Its now week 7 and the Ruderalis Indica still has no signs of sex. Just wondering??? I should say the seeds look great and they grew perfect untill they didn't stop growing.

I have heard of it before. Put them in 12/12 and see if it makes a change, only way to find out I suppose.

thanks for someone actualy answering! Thats excatly what i thought but i have read from the experienced Auto growers not to do that when other asked this question. I was hopeing that someone had some insight on the RI. I have seen videos where it sarted to flower at 3 weeks but your right. put it on 12 for a week and see what happens. if they flower, i can at least get rid of them if they are males and if they stop flowering when the lights get turned back to 20-4, they weren't auto to start with. they come from sensi seed and they are pretty good.

yup. put the lights on 12/12. kick it into flower. Autos aren't 100% perfect yet.

sometime 16/8 will work you dont always have to go 12/12 to get a flower with auto in its genetics to flower!

yea, i'm going to kick it back up some when i force the sex. these were autos but regs, so could be males. just trying to find out if they are worth keeping with the size of them. I can clone a male to keep the size way down, open up some room. and go from there. thanks for taking the time to put something in to this

I had an early batch of Blue Mystic & Jack Herer autos from the same breeder that never autoed. The Jack autos needed to be dropped to 12/12 to bloom, the Mystics would begin to flower at any point after which the time of the lighting was dropped below 16/8.

I have noted that when rollercoastering the light cycle on autos, the will easily send up a few hermi flowers, making seed development possible. I was able to get a good quantity of auto Northern Light seeds this way, off of my original 5 seed order.

Now that is some excelent imput!!! hermi's fertilized by them selves generly produce natural fem seeds. NL photos are one of the bag of seeds i want to do clones on. how did your auto seeds turn out after doing that?
