New Grower Dutch Passion Ultimate Autos in DWC

[Caveman]

I have been growing 3 Dutch Passion Ultimate autos I am on day 43 and now just showing some pistols and possibly a couple micro buds. They are growing in a DWC(Bubbleponic) system I built from a tutorial on another site. The plants have been given LST throughout the grow. I have heard some people say that it can take 11-12 weeks for some auto strains to flower. Is that true? BTW I am using a ProGrow400LED W/switch. I have turned 3 plants into a SOG with multiple bud sites opportunities, but no BUDS... I have them on an 18/6 schedule. All 3 plants are healthy. I have them on GH nutes So, can someone please provide some insight? Should I grow it out and see what happens? Or, change them to12/12 ? Or cut them down and try again? Additionally, I have made every possible mistake - Root rot, Calcium deficiency, etc...
Thank you in advance.

Dont cut them down or flip them to 12/12 yet. How about a couple of pictures mate?
Dutch passion autos are very stable and should auto themselves no problem, but the longer running the strain the longer the veg period lasts.

DP are sativa Dom mostly as well. And in a DWC system tend to run way longer than in say a 5 gal pot. I just had a dr.feelgood that didn't even sex til day 53 then went into full auto on day 57 under 20/4

@sanguine has you covered post some pics and hold your horses on lights and chopping.

I don't know but 2 folks that run the buckets @loopy looper @Rifleman they can tell ya more about time frames on DWC autos

I haven't grown that strain yet. I do have some in the stash though. DWC always goes longer than breeders claim. I'm also not familiar with your light, but if it is like my Mars you need to have *both* switches on. (both grow and bloom) Give us a couple of photos and let's see if we can help you more.

Hey everybody!!
Oh and for those pesky autos who hold on to those photo traits, all i do is drop 2 hours off my light schedule. Going from 20\4 to 18\6. I actually do the same thing with my photo grows but there just droppin an hour to 11\13.
Thiz will fir sure amber them up much quicker
