Grow Mediums Northeren lights auto need advice

[Richy77]

Hi folks I'm currently growing a northeren lights autoflower in an oxypot bubbler under a 250 w hps, now my problem is that it's 5 weeks in and the white hairs have just started showing which obviously it's starting to bud but my concern is, should it not be a bit further on than what it's at by now. It's growing fine it's just over 2feet tall and it's roots look nice and healthy, am I just panicking?????? The reason I'm asking is because I've grew a few auto flowers before not this strain tho and the others have developed quite quick unlike this 1. It's from royal queen seeds northeren lights autoflower, anyone with any advice on this strain would be greatly appreciated and would maybe stop me panicking lol thanks

Different strains grow at different rates, 1 may go 60 days and another can go 90 and so on. Just cause its an Auto doesnt mean if will grow at the same rate and or finish at the same.

I am growing an auto flower northern lights in a bubble bucket too and after about 5 weeks I was starting to worry that I might have gotten a photoperiod seed by mistake but then it started to show and has developed many bud sites all over the plant.
It grew very leafy and thick first and I may have left it under a MH light longer than necessary before switching to a hps light.
Recently, I had to trim away leaves so that the bud sites would get some light.

I have 2 NL x Big Bud Auto that did this too. I stuck with feeding them 1/2 nuts according to squedule. They both shot up and are doing great. Having to tie up branches. Bug was a little heavy. So unless they show some sort of problem they are probably just a slow strain to get going

I think I've read that some nl go to the range of 100+ days.. good luck
