Buy a bigger tent or leave it outside. You don't have problems. You have a healthy vibrant plant. If you leave it outside. Look up the sun/night times in the area you live. She'll start budding when the day length is about 13 hours long. Finishing when the day length is 11-10 hours long.

What's up Roots? :blsmoke:

An autoflower at 9 weeks and no flowers is not an autoflower in my opinion.

But it looks great. Also I really like your patio liner thing.

Where is the seed from? I got one going now currently 15 days old. 12 or so in picture. Mine was from Growers Choice Seeds. 20210708_191248.jpg

Also from growers choice from what I've noticed through research their critical purple autoflowering strains veg for awhile more in the realm of a photo period. I'm gonna plant another 1 and see if the same thing happens. What size pot are you in. With this strain I wouldn't use less then a 5 gallon

9 weeks is nearly twice as long as a normal autoflower to veg.

Here is from grower's choice. Not sure they really worded it in a good way. If they consider flowering the plant growing it from seed to harvest...

"As such, Critical Purple cannabis seeds are quite easy to germinate and grow, and do very well indoors, in a hydroponic or soil planting medium. Though they require a long flowering period – as many as 11 weeks – the results are well worth the wait."

I'll have to keep an eye on her. They are in 7 gal square. They seem big for my space. I ran 3 gal my first run and somehow managed not to kill my plants. Despite trying my best This is my 2nd round. 5 gal seems like it will be the sweet spot.

Oh ok seeing as though I'm on week 9 and no flowering as of yet once it begins to flower I'll have an additional 11 weeks till harvest ok no problem I'll wait it out.

Yeah 5 gallon seems good with this strain my roots were coming out the drainage in 3.5 gallon pot so I new it'll be an issue with anything less

Just looked it up. Super autos take 100 days from seed to fully finished if thats to be believed. But thay do take longer b4 they start to flower

That's interesting. If that's the case maybe they should specify...
Anyways I learned something just now. I'll take your word for it thanks for that :blsmoke:

I believe it's a photo period at this point I started a sour kush autoflower on the same day and it'll b ready in a week or 2.

Good call. In that case you can clone the plant a few snips and then put it on 12/12. This way it fits back in your tent and you can save some electricity to finish it. It's a pretty nice plant.
