Autoflower Delayed Time?

currently growing an auto flower and the growth has been very slow, its about 3" at 4 weeks old, just about to grow its second set of leaves.

will the flowering period be delayed until its bigger or will it not flower at all due to the short space of time left?

thanks

Autos are gonna flower, hence the name autoflower. Autos usualy stay small the first 3-4 weeks and kinda spring up the last 7-8 weeks. you gotta any pics? That'll help alot with trying to help out.

gopher hit the nail on the head. I've grown a few crops of autoflowering and they will flower even if they are small.

From the description you have given it sounds like what my autoflowering plants are like at four weeks. I don't really keep track of how many weeks in my plants are (bad habit I know) but they don't seem to get the really vigorous growth until about half way through. Also don't be surprised if some of them just stay small.

I've got several autoflowering plants going right now and there is about a foot difference between the tallest and shortest plant.

My plants at about four weeks in (age is an estimate: it might have been more like 3 weeks but you get the idea right? Also sorry about the picture quality, crappy camera and I was showing off my new HID light not the plants)
