This post is interesting for a couple reasons. Sagarmatha white russians are supposed to be 9 weeks from seed to harvest. You are on 8 weeks and they don't have buds? Maybe got some shitty genetics and they decided not be autos. If this is the case then they need some help and should be put into 12/12. Put up some pics and It will make it easier to figure out whats going on.
Edit: Was looking through your posts and you made threads about this like three times. Everyone on here is going to say the same thing, go to 12/12 or put up pics.

Because autos should be left to go extinct, like the Dodo.lol
Seriously though, they seem to be very unreliable. For every successful grow I see, I see 5-10 more that are way late, or need to be switched to 12/12 to trigger flowering. Was it Nirvana that pulled their auto line for that reason? Anyway, I don't think the breeders quite have 'em stabilized yet, and if so, only a few strains. You must have one of those that aren't quite ready for market, yet were pushed out there anyway.lol

to sum up, not that good for main lighting source from what I see

Auto's are gimmicks, they are things that should never have been presented to the public, like Carrot Top and Pauly Shore.
Plus, for as good as Sagarmatha is, they have real problems with their autos. If I were to lose 99% of my brain functions and then find myself considering purchasing autos, even then I would not consider purchasing Saragmatha's autos.

Seems to me you could buy a fast flowering regular strain, like one that finishes in 7-8 weeks of flowering, like AK 48 or C99, and give it 2-3 weeks veg, and
still finish in the same amount of time as most autos, and have a better yield. And better quality.
I tried some auto weed a few days ago. Gave me a headache. Not saying all would do that. But this one did. Couch lock + head ache = not happy times.
Barely even got high.

i just wanted to point out that it was completely unnecessary to post the same thread 3 times, twice in this section alone, on the same day. it almost makes me want to take my answer back from the other thread. it comes off as bratty and demanding. answers take time. one thread is enough.

I've been reading through this due to growing auto's for my first time grow (free seeds and a lot to learn so why waste good seeds making basic errors?), and I reckon after I get past my current plant problems, I'll flip mine to 12/12 to at least induce flowering.
Mine are DinaFem auto's (grade 2), so not sure what to expect. If they don't auto then I don't really care, as I'll simply flower them until they are ready (if it works out that way).
If not then I can at least say I've learned a lot the past short time and can hopefully bring it together on my second grow with "proper," seeds.
Yeah I agree with who said veg normal plants short for 2 - 3 weeks then flower. I mean it kinda struck me as to what was the point of auto's really, but hey ho my seeds were freebies from the 'tude.
Good luck with getting your plants budding mate, sure these guys can help you though

I'll have some free autos on the way too. I'll probably throw them in with the others and see what happens.
Can't complain about free.

Actually it's the 8th one in 4 days. All pretty much asking the same thing.
I threw in my 2c anyways.

No not at all. In my mind I'll either succesfully grow my 1st grow free, or my grow was a free lesson! I have to put a positive spin on it!

Good practice nevertheless. I'm on my 1st indoor grow too.
I have 9 in veg, 7 more germinating, and 5 in flower (which I adopted from a friend, he though he'd try an experiment with growing in sand mixed with MG
soil, and the plants were in 3 liter soda bottles. Yellow, droopy, and half dead.) I took them off his hands because he was going to throw them away. I wanted
them for the practice. They are now green and healthy. With little buds developing. They're under 148 watts of CFL. I'll probably get 5-10 grams total. More if
I'm lucky. I'd be happy with them living until harvest, and me getting a bowl or 2 out of it.

yeah I'll be happy with a few grams right now at this point also. I'm in some sort of "panic," mode. reading and reading and reading threads about this issue.

Yeah, you can never read or research too much. A lot of stuff to learn.
I have been reading at least a few hours per day for about a year now. I learned a great deal, maybe not enough to be giving advice
to a lot of people, I did learn a lot in a very little amount of time, I may have some wires crossed somewhere... I always cross-reference
anything I read or "learn" before applying it to my garden. Some people will tell you anything in this site. There are some pretty decent
people though, and are willing to go great lengths to help someone.

Ye olde dross reference. I do that myself. You have to. Today I learnt something about lighting and efficiency. Simply but didn't know it until today really. Was real useful for me.

So, when you learned to drive to get your drivers license did you learn by driving a battery powered Barbie Lamborghini or something like that?
Purchase regular beans made of true quality genetics from one of the few breeders that are highly skilled and actually deserve to be called professional breeders, learn to sex your plants, remove the males, change the settings on your timer when you're ready to go from veg to flower.
Forget all about gimmicks like auto-flowering strains and feminized seeds and go with true tried and true proven quality instead. Ignore all the 'flavor of the month strains,' and the breeders who produce them, that a zillion people will be talking about all the time and calling the greatest ever. They never live up to their hype and most are unstable.
You will be infinitely better off in the end if you do so.
