yea i grue a 95 day strand and it took 120 days to ripen it flowered at week 4
How long does auto flower take to flower?
- Thread starter newbie1122
- Start date
Nobody knows 'cause it's automatic.

you can make them go to almost week 5 without flowering if you hold off the flower nutes till upward growth stops if you give them flower nutes as soon as you see flowers they will stop growing and you will get less budds so hold off on flower nutes at least till week 4 but usaly you can get buy with week 5

also remember preflower is just that ....... the plant shows sexual maturity but still continues to veg for a week or two .......... around 21 days the plant will show sex around week 5-6 it will begin flowering in ideal conditions ........ also a P-K def will delay flowering

let me get this right
I looked at a auto flower life cycle
it says to start using flower nutes at week 5 or a month and half or so
but if you put the rock wool cube with seedling with roots coming out and ready to transplant
and put it in a 3 gallon pot and then at week 5 you give it flower nutes to start flowering
the yield would be next to nothing cause they haven't vegged and the roots are still developing
or do they gain size and weight in the flowering stage
and grow bigger then the sticks they were going in
cause if not there its not worth my electric bill
when I can grow regular plants instead

cause I have 9 Silver Haze Low Ryders # 9 that have been growing
that are 90 days old from seed and no pre-flowers, no offsetted branches, the branches are even all the way up the plants
and I read since I been give them veg nukes since seedlings after roots started and didn't switch to flower nutes at week 5
I can continue to give them veg nukes until I see the vertical growth slow and stop
then I switch to flower nukes Correct ?????
cause I also have some normal Pine Apple Train Wreck that I want going to start cloning from
and have no other place to grow it other than with the auto flowers
so going to 12/12 is not a option cause to shut out the light for total darkness
I would create too much heat
I need to change the exhaust fan in veg room to a 8 inch fan and create more air flow
cause the 4 inch one is not doing it

at 90 days old its a safe bet that they are not auto

I just got to wait and see if they start soon
and the seeds where in a sealed unopened package from a dispensary
so maybe the seed got mixed up
and another question its been a while since I have logged in here
where are all my postings and pictures
I had close to 800, 900 posting and a bunch of pics and albums
its all gone
why and when they delete all the profiles and reset
cause now I got like 4 or 5 posting again
WTF ?? happened
where they raided by the police
and Racer Boy 71 and Angry Black Man
was the last people
I talked to on here
over
a year and half to 2 years ago

most people are pretty stupid when it comes to plants I find.. and forget the science behind things..
more or less a typical Autoflower is 10 to 11 weeks total from seed.. sometimes with bigger sativia based strains it can take up to 13 or 14 weeks. this is total from the day you see a tap root to harvest..
AUTOS UNLIKE PHOTOS, WILL VEGETATE WHILE FLOWERING
you will see flowers typically 3 to 4 weeks after germination. but you DO NOT STOP grow nutes, maybe start to lean the N out just a bi,t but you keep on the same nute schedule as week 1 flower for a photo but stay with it for 2.5 to 3 weeks
you start to switch to Flower nutes at about week 6 to 7. and then possibly add a bloom enhancer like kool bloom at weeks 8 9 and 10. and flush to week 11.. in most cases this works for about 85% of all autos.
as for nutes im starting to learn that how much you put in and when depends very much so on strain and pot size.. autos tend to like light nutes..
depending on what you use for a grow medium it might not be require to give them nute until you see flowers.. still you focus on giving them GROW nutes until the plants are 6 or 7 weeks old... unless you want a really short low yield plant.
sometimes you have to be a little heavy with nutes and start at half.. if its an XXL strain such as think different or Early miss.. you can bet your ass that at week 6 or 7 its gonna want 1000PPM..as for your little guys like any lowryder based strains i wouldnt go much more than 6 to 700ppm at peak so about week 8.. and start feeding them at week 3 but start with no more than 300ppm ..for big guys id start at 400 or 450.. depending on size of pot ect..

I stopped giving them veg fertilizer and gave them plain water for watering then gave a little bloom fertilizer and plain water today
So I'm going to go buy some cloning gel and some distilled water and take as many clones as I can off the pineapple train wreck
then just switch to 12/12 and flower out the autos and the pineapple after it recovers from cutting clones

I made this bucket cloner, with 10 spots for clones in the lid
and I made this sprayer setup, out of 1/2 PVC pipe and 360' degree spray tips
but is too tall the net pots sit on top of the sprayer
I need two 1/2 '' threaded couplers and a small piece of 1/2 pipe
and make the piece that connects to the pump and sprayer
a little shorter and it will be the right height then
and the net pots won't be sitting on the sprayer

If you need to induce 12.12 period to your auto flowering cannabis seeds then they are not tru auto a true auto will turn in 5 to 6 wks depending on the breeders info all of my autos turned in the fifth an 6th wks like the info was stated when I purchased the seeds white rhino Ak49 an Afghan skunk an blackberry

Dunno cant see how it makes sense to grow a auto when it needs 3-5weeks of veg lol
most breeders descriptions ive read say : plant grows three or four sets of leafes and then starts to flower.
I have to call bullshit.
I grew 3 different auto strains in the last 12 month just for experimenting purpose.
60 day wonder , lowrider 1, brutalis automatic.
not one started flowering after three or four leaflets.
lowrider took for ever ended up 2feet the brutalis was quality wise the best but 1 female 1 hermie 1 male ended 2.5 feet with much space between nodes. The 60 day wonder took like 90 days and was the first finishing but a dwarf like 0.5ft.
that was outdoor started beg. June so not a bad time for autos outdoor.
I crossed the lowrider x brutalis and popped some indoors a few days ago. If those disapoint the same way I see no reason to grow em again except filling empty vegspaces.
I can run most photos 12-12 from seed abd end up with a one foot plant with a fat mainbud.
I have only seen popcorn in the autos I grew.
No offense to all you atolovers but sorry I cant see why to go auto yet.
every big bud or incredibke bulk will outperform any auto I grew at straight 12-12 from seed or one week of veg in yield, time to finish, and energy consumption.
I have 22 years of growing under my belt.... always did photos....that was the first time I did autos as for experimenting as I stated above ....but I guess thats all for me in regards to autoflowering strains.

I just took 10 clones of my Pine Apple Train Wreck and put them in my new home made bucket cloner
I hope they root in a week to 10 days
cause this my first bucket cloner run
I hope it works good
cause I'm using a 360' lawn sprinkler attached to my pump
all 10 net pots are getting water to them
cause I dipped them in Clonex and it washed off every one of them so I know
there all getting wet unlike the first cloner I made
I guess I'll find out in a week to 10 days
