Bubblicious Auto - DWC LED Not flowering

[Hydro_Light]

This is my first grow with DWC and Auto flowering. I’m past 8 weeks now and still no flowering. It’s Nirvana Bubbleicious Auto Fem strain. The plant is doing great, I’d say besides this. Problem is I need it to start flowing! The tent is being taken over. Three days ago I switched to 12:12 to attempt and push it to flower, but still nothing.

Any other recommendations or am I stuck waiting? How does the plant look? I’ve been trimming the largest leaves and training to avoid height.

It will take more then 3 days if it is a photo...more like 7 to 10 I find mine take.
But it does seem like your plants are photos and not autos...it happens sometimes.
Best of luck and happy growin'

Clone those tall branches if LST isn't working. Maybe even super crop.

Thanks, will wait 7-10 and see where I’m at.

Is that to keep height down/even distribution and to get next batch rolling? Damage done if I find out it was just a really late auto? I need to read up on super crop. New here

Those roots though!

Holy roots! Now that's how it's effing done sir you really should defoliate her if you're entering flower. It would be a real shame for all those roots going to waste just supporting a huge harvest of leaves. Open up that canopy by taking out those fan leaves. That will expose your flower sites to light allowing them to develop. They are your future pot and they don't grow well into buds when covered under swaths of leaves. Your plant will continue to produce vegetative growth for 3 more weeks spitting out tons of new leaves to replace the ones you removed. Do another light defoliation at week 3. Why light? At week 3 all vegetative growth will end and all of the plant's energy will go into flower production. The leaves you remove will not regrow. Be gentle at week 3

Best root porn I seen in awhile homie!

Thanks! I did start clipping the largest leaves. I’ll continue going to work on them. It looks far more spread out now. More training and a couple stress training. Updated pics to come. Biggest problem is I need flowering to start. Beyond that, it’s been doing great!

She’s started flowering! Let me know how this is looking. I did some stress training and LST to get everything at same height. I trimmed fan leaves pretty hard couple days ago, but can barely tell now.

You've done a great job on those ladies. I'm looking forward to seeing your garden full of thick sticky colas

I always find it's best to get really ripped and then go in and defoliate like your life depended on it. I would suggest at this stage because it is so super healthy would be an absolutely massive defoliation strip it right back, you won't even be able to notice it after three days.

The reason that I would do this is because when you strip a plant that is obviously going to be a monster, you can then see the structure of the whole plant and start to remove some small branches and other growth that experience tells you that you're probably going to end up removing later anyway. The benefit of being able to clearly see the structure is not often appreciated.

check out wk 6 on my purple gorilla, (see sig) I just updated today, you can see that I did a major defoliation then two more even more severe leaf and branch removal.

I like to eat a few hash caps then defoliate / stake branches. I don't think I have the ability to be frustrated when I'm good and lubed up on hash caps

I brought enough to share too! Take 2 and call me in the morning...if you can

Thanks and thats a great new resource in the sig. Did another round this morning of defoliating. I could have probably gone more, but getting a lot of growth sites and don't want to risk further stress if I'm later in flowering than I think.

So I had the air line come out for a half a day and now it’s not looking as healthy. Any recommendations where to go from here? I just cleaned the bucket well and replaced the water. Other variables that happened. Heat got to 94 degrees during day for a bit. Cropped a lot of leaves.
