How long can a autoflower stay in veg?

[johnny_casshh]

So I have this plant that I kind of grow at the windowsill and give it some light when I let my main plant rest. Started at the same time with my main plant, but the main one is already in flower while this one is smaller and still in veg. My question is how much can it stay in veg? I assume that at some point it will flower anyway.

Personally, I've never grown an auto that didn't autoflower. I've grown them for years, maybe I picked the right breeders?
That said, I have had them go 6-8 weeks of veg. Last winter growing in colder temps (64-68F) I saw 8. Average is 3-5 weeks under normal conditions.

I think this one will flower also, just taking longer as it is not really getting the right conditions, unfortunately. I was curious as to what maximum veg time you guys experienced

If it goes longer than 8 weeks, someone gave you photos.

No as the other plant I am growing is from the same pack of seeds and has started flowering. But that one has enjoyed the majority of the light while this one gets the scraps and windowsill

Packs can have mixups. Just sayin.

Longest veg I've had on an auto was 62 days.

The amount of light it receives has no bearing on when it will flower.

Ah, so basically it depends on each plant, I guess? And even if it did not receive enough light and it did not grow that big, it will start flowering when its time comes?

I went to mostly all autos in 18' and believe 45 +/- a day or 2 was the longest ive had before pre flowering. I try to get 70% or more Sativas as well so that's why they are on the longer/bigger side. I'll agree, 8 weeks is a long time but 3 winters ago(Buffalo NY) i keep my house around 62f and i had an auto take 5 mo ths and she definitely vegged almost if not for full 3 months. I do lights 24/0 so she was definitely an auto, cold mustve stunted her to a crawl.

62 days, what strain was it?

Yes cold temps slow down growth. So you can veg longer in colder temps.

I had a NL auto survive the winter at 54’ north in a greenhouse lol

Born November, flowered the following April and harvested in august lol
