Gotcha that's what I figured was the time. Basically germinate and veg for a few days and fast flower cycle to turnaround a personal stash of dankness. Thanks for clarifying. I can't believe your friends aren't hitting you up to grow "a little more" lol. Looks like you're going to get more than 1 oz this time.

Well most of my friends don't smoke I'm pretty much the only one! And yes its mainly about the time factor.. so why do you think ill get more than ounce this time?

Are the plants larger than they usually are given that the flowering cycle has been delayed? Larger plant and better root structure would lead me to believe that inducing flowering later will result in a greater yield. I don't know jack about autos though obviously lol.

This is no guarantee, but typically a longer flower would indicate a much more soaring of high. This isn't true for every situation, but I'd try to remain optimistic. It's an auto. They don't get tall. 12" is fine. Next time, I would suggest not changing their light cycle, as that defeats the purpose of an auto.

Thank you for the advice! the next seeds im getting i have heard good things about so ill leave it on 20/4. so im curious as to when to harvest them. I mean i have read you get a microscope and look at the color of the..... forget the name but something about harvest when its golden amber color.. well what if i dont have a magnify glass?????
 
Keep it on 12/12.....let it do it's thing.....there has been a deluge of automatics show up on the market the past few years.....some are stable and a few are not.....I only grow autos and have only had 2 strains that did not auto but did flower and give good nugs when put on 12/12.....
As old reefer said some autos are not stable. Usually this is the case with the cheaper costing autos. Your seed is not an auto at all but in fact part of the % that is 12/12. Next time get some good auto's such as Lowryder #2, you will not be dissapointed. Do a 18/6 or 20/4 light regimine. Also don't get your hopes up because no auto will be done in 60 days but more like 75 til it is ripe enough to chop. Remember, autos don't like to much nutes. I would wait until the plant has been growing for at least a month before giving it 1/4 to 1/2 strength nutes. Until it has been growing for a month give it plain ph'ed water. Auto's normally start flowering 14-20 days from seed, regardless i would wait at least 30 days to feed it any nutes.

Damn, got a non- auto instead of an auto for your fitst grow...that sucks.....typically, autos will finish wihtin a few days of a breeders rec...but if it doesn't auto, finishing time will be questionable also. You'll just have to watch the obvious things for a photo .......receding hairs, swelling of pods, trics etc.....
I do mostly autos although I throw a photo in some also.....I have my grows set up perpetually with a staggered harvest which is easy to keep on schedule as autos do finish pretty much on time.....
As secret one said, getcha some stable autos to enjoy the fruits of what autos have to offer. The allow me to keep quite a selection of meds to chose from year round...
