New Grower Can I Speed Up My Flowering?

[Muddy]

I seem to remember there were issues with that strain not autoflowering when it first came on the market. Have you had the seeds for awhile? Perhaps who you bought them from had some old stock. Switch your light schedule to 12 on, 12 off. That will kick them into flower.

Alright, so I just put one of them in my closest (the smaller of the two.) I'm gonna leave her in their for 24 hours and then put here back into my regular light schedule.

Cross your fingers for me guys :Stones slap:

I saw that too Muddy. Nope, i got them straight from nirvana about 2 months ago and they were planted right away. Would you suggest me doing 12/12 over putting them in a dark area for 24-48 hours?

 

[Muddy]

Nothing to lose by putting them in the dark for 24 hours. But I have a feeling you'll need to go 12/12 to get them to flower.

 

[orangecow]

Right on. I'm gonna go your route :stylez rasta smoke:

after i switch them to 12/12 should I keep it 12/12 all the way until harvest or go back to my original lighting regime?

 

[Muddy]

You'll have to keep them on 12/12. If they are still photo sensitive switching them back to 20/4 or 18/6 will cause them to stop flowering and revert back to veg.

Muddy, I owe you. :smoke:
They've been on 12/12 for about 3 days now, and i'm finally seeing small buds. w00t w00t.

My nirvanas auto flowered at day 30.....it looks like yours were flowering just not packing on the weight yet.

 

[orangecow]

Yeah, kush that did seem to be the case.

They're flowering now, but real slowly. I still have them on 12/12. You don't think i could increase the hours again could i? Thanks. I'll post pics in a sec.
