northern lights auto

my nl is now 90 days in and barely flowering is this normal

 

[hotrodharley]

Depends but yes it can be normal. Medium it's in? Light and hours of it? Nutes?

My last NLA grow was around 90 days outdoors. Most of the auto’s I have done (not many and outdoors only) average 100 days.

thanks for the reply this is my first auto grow and thought it was a little slow to flower plants look healthy but slow to flower

And if it is a true auto the light schedule should not play a role in finishing. I have had so called auto’s that did require a light change, not a true auto.

I feel like the more they breed autos for potency, the leaner the ruderalis genetics get. Most will still flower under longer light cycles, but they seem to takr longer to finsish and sometimes take more convincing to flower than the autos of even a year or two ago.

It may. I've never really experimented with any flower intitiating techniques like extended dark periods so someone else may have better answers for you.

Like I said earlier I’ve never had one go much over 100 days but I’m sure there’s longer. Super auto’s take a bit longer to finish hence bigger. Patience is a virtue when growing and my advice is their done when done .

100 days and counting going to need the space they are taking up soon

Try flipping em back, I had to do that to a so-called auto. Sorry what light schedule now?

 

[growmikegrow]

put 2 outside and went 12/12 on the rest, getting really bushy but really need to use the room they are taking up will go 2 more weeks and hope for the best

 

[growmikegrow]

put 2 outside and went 12/12 on rest will try 2 more weeks, really need the space
seeds were crop king not sure I would try again will see how and if they finish well

I would say you’ve got not a true auto my friend. They should be finishing up about now

I missed the crop king ! My crop king northern lights was bunk, worthy of the oil bin

I have 3 nl autos one starting flowering around 8 weeks and the other 2 now at 12 weeks have nothing, not even pre flowers so I’m in the same boat. Put one in a different tent I have on a 12 and 12 to see if it will flip, I will let you know what happens.
Good luck

So I just checked tonight and one of them is starting to show preflower so I’m thinking it’s just a waiting game. A long waiting game!
