Lighting Worried! Autos not flowering under Mars Hydro Reflectors

[medic grower]

Well the Greenhouse Autos are not really the best Choice to go. Had Sweet Mango Auto, Autobomb and the Big Gang Autos..Autobomb and BB auto i had to force flwoer and the Sativa dom Sweet Mango needed 120+ days so not really Autoflowers for me.

Hi Live4now, here is a link to the Mars Hydro LED Live Help section. Try asking your question there

Unfortunately I can't access this page. Comes up with a notice saying I don't have access either because of my account status (?) or not having activated my account?

I never knew! Always had great results....oh well, I will have to sit this one out. Planning to use Think Different next time around.

Medicgrower, you say you had to force them into flower? Do you mean by switching to 12/12?
I have some pictures of the grow. The yellow on the leaves is the flash light, not the plant! They have nice dark green leaves. Week 8 today........Only one plant in flower properly, the others just having some preflowers. Nothing really changed in the last week.
Be patient, be patient......:dunno:

I know what I would do .:tiphat: I'd change the lighting to 12/12 and switch to flowering nutrients . That's what I would do . But their not my plants .

I've done the change of nutrients. I've been thinking of switching to 12/12. How would that reflect on the yield you think? Will have to keep them on 12/12 I presume? Never grown under less than 18 hours light. :Cool bud:

Quality is number uno and yield is second IMO . It may increase your yield by changing the lighting schedule . The plants will interpret this as a change of season and they will prepare to end their life span by directing their energy into flowering hence bigger buds .

You can turn the lights off for 24 hours and really get the flower hormones running. With Photo periods, they call it shock flowering. Works real well with photo or auto. Some ladies are just stubborn that way. Give it a go and there is no ill affect. :thumbs:

Thanks briman and Bear...So it will not affect the other gal's in flower to not have the light on?
