12 week Auto No flowering!!!!!

[1strounddraftpick]

Hello my fellow growers......I started 5 feminized syrup autos that I got from Buddah seeds. I planted them outside April 5th and within 3 weeks all started showing sex except one.The other 4 finished in about 75days. in ts now June 27th (82 days) and this plant has no sign of sex and is still growing and growing. I started them in 5 gallon pots but since this one was growing so much, I decided to transplant into 10 gal pot. I know they say dont transplant but I did and she never missed a beat...looks happy and healthy but no sign of sex!!!! Shes growing bigger by the day and has atleast 15 nice bud sights due to LST...im using roots organic surge and trinity, and soul synthetic grow....I also started a little bestie bloom to see if it would flower and its still growing but no flower....so I was wondering have anybody else had a similar experience with an auto as this or any advice or comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you much in advance

Lol you probably got a phenotype that still has the photoperiod flowering genes as the dominant ones. You'll probably start flowering in the next month or so, depending on where you live.

I've had exact same thing with an outdoor auto grow, all plants but one flowered, got too about 100 days and it just died ! Was never able to see the sex

drop the light to 16/8.. since its outside try placing a bag over them for a couple hours before dark. I had this issue with some auto's due to the 20/4 light cycle i get up near Alaska

I'm having difficulty too ... One blueberry autofem from Amsterdam seeds took off and it s about 15 inches and showed sex in 3 weeks ...but has slowed growth
... The other one is maybe 5 or 6 inch with no signs of sex I'll post pictures tell me if the larger one looks healthy.and is this normal for them to stop growing vertically Assuming their putting more energy into bud making

id keep yours at 18/6 for about 2 more weeks if nothing comes of it after that. go down to 16/8. and try to bring in more light if possible.. i don't know what you have for lighting but if its under 200W's it might not be enough lumens to support the plants to go into flowering. ( that is a theory anyway) seems like autos with low light take a long time to begin flowering

I'm using a 400 watt metal halide bulb it's not the lumens

over watered .... if you pick the pots up they probably feel heavy .... the top half is drying up but the bottom is staying water logged ... just lay off it a couple days let the pot lighten up then give it small amounts of water until they get going again

I'll try that ... Soil is moist but loose not so compacted

I just gave my big auto a liter of water with .4 g grow nutes an hour ago thinking that was the problem so now I just will wait for the soil to get no e dry next feeding... I usually use the finger rule if I stick my pointer finger in the soil and if i can stick my finger in 1/4 the length of my finger and its dry I water

its a lot better to make a habit of picking them up ... its a lot less headaches
... my bigger containers i can just tilt and tell if they need a drink

This. When I first started I used the finger method and still overwatered a lot. Now I lift or tilt them. Fabric planters are nice in that you can feel around them while watering for dry pockets.

@Kickflipfeontblunt A couple of tips for watering that I've learned are:
You are NOT watering for planter size, you are watering for plant size. So don't flood a container that only a tenth of the soil mass is filled with roots.
When you water, water slowly and deliberately. Don't flood it and let it all run out of your planter right away (please tell me your planter has drainage holes, right?). When you flood a planter the collective weight of all of the water will force it to find the easiest route downwards because of gravity, bypassing multiple zones that are dry and possibly hydrophobic. Water slowly around your planter with like half of what you're planning to water with, then 15 minutes later do it again. Your medium needs time to actually hydrate itself. You may end up using less water, I know I do.
