Please advise on autos 5 weeks no flowers

[milza]

hi
Started some 'autos' 5 weeks ago, look great but no flowers. Flipped to 12/12 and now flowering after a week. Should I go back to 20/4 or see them out 12/12. They are now nearly 30" how high can I expect them to be, supposed to be ak47 autos , many thanks!

got some 5 week old autos looking healthy and getting huge but no flowed, flipped 12/12 a week ago and now have budding. Should I maintain 12/12 or go back 20/4, or is damage already done.

Hmmm, I wouldn't jump back up that high again,... they should finish okay at 12/12, not optimal, no... maybe slowly ease up to 14/10, but I'd be hitting the bloom nutes full time too, maybe even add a PK booster... just mind your dosage conc. if you do, to avoid burning,...

if you had to flip them to 12/12 then there not true autos or bad genetics or just bad luck dude but you best leave them on 12/12 or they might go into veg mode again

Are you sure they are autos? I once had that happen and had mixed up a photo strain with an auto. It will bloom on that light cycle no matter what I guess.

Miz-- please don't open multiple threads on the same issue, it crowds out things and makes keeping track more difficult,...

Thanks for the reply, they came from gorilla seeds, contacted them and they are adamant they are autos. I know nothing about autos so at 5 weeks of what was supposed to be a 10 week cycle and no sign of flowers panicked and was advised to go 12/12. Is it normal or possible they could be autos, I've seen some and they're well into flower by week 3, I'm worried if they are autos 12/12 is going to half my yield. Also my biggest girl is at 33" 6 weeks oldI thought they were supposed to be small?!?!?!.! Got 8 under 2 600 hips and they are getting hooooge!

Thanks for reply. Could it be possible they are autos and I jumped the gun or is it definitely not auto if no flowering at 5 weeks

... either somebody botched the order and sent you the photo version, or as Wile' said, bad genetics,... I assume these were fem's? In any case, sometimes the genetics just don't settle out right, even in the best breeder's seeds, rare but it happens ... Oh wait!-- if all 8 are are doing this, then it has to be a f*cked up packaging order,... no way all 8 would be like this, even from the same mother plant! Auto's should bloom no matter what, so there's no way you messed them up so as to cause this to happen, either,.. Gorilla knows this, but it sounds like they aren't interested in acknowledging the error or compensating you for it,... I suggest another, civilly phased email, even offer photo proof (direct them here to your journal if you have one)... and see if they'll play ball,... otherwise, you're are entitled to document what happened right here as well in the Seed Bank section, and label them for their poor customer service! Word of mouth is everything when it comes to quality genetics and service,...
