do NOT order from nirvana anymore! they cant breed roaches let alone pot.
Short rider IS supposed to be a auto , if its not then they fucked up. and with the reviews i just read it seems they fucked up AGAIN. I got some Ice from them and out of 6 females, not one turned out the same. one was purple , one was covered in trichs , one had no trichs and the others just sucked.
now i am like u too, if i get something new , i want to flower it right away to see what were workin with. but with a "true auto" you do not have to do that , it will only flower when it wants to , not because of light change. and by the 3rd or 4th week it will start flowering even if on 24/0.
since u got ripped off, i would say to continue to do what you are doing.
I definatly am not sayin its gonna be bunk, im just sayin you should have got what u ordered NOT what they sent.
How old are they now?
