I have a Paradise Pandora Auto that is a week or two into flowering at 65 days! So it is obviously not auto flowering. Should I switch the lights to 12/12 or are they fine staying on 20/4?mms_picture.jpgmms_picture (1).jpg

Looks like it's flowering to me. If you haven't switched light schedule yet, and it IS flowering, it IS auto-flowering. Really don't understand your question here. Keep your lights as they are, no need to change with autos.

the plant is flowering like mad! is this ur first grow and your wondering where all the buds are? lol. dont panic you are about 3-4 weeks away you will start to see the plant pack on weight in a week or two, you say its 2 weeks into flower but its not autoflowering? lol its flowering when u see little white pistols or hairs and the plant wont have no buds one day and ready to harvest the next, i wouldent change the light cycle to 12/12 or you will end up with airy light buds

It is disappointing to see an auto take that long to finish though. Mine are usually done in 65-70 days 80 at the most. I just put a Pandora seed in my germination dome, hopefully it won't be a 90-100 day plant. What kind of lights are you using? It does look good btw, just should be further along at this point. I wouldn't switch the lights as everyone as already mentioned she's in full blown flower mode. Let me know how it turns out man. I've got two fem beans from Paradise hopefully germing as we speak.

There in lies the problem man. If you want them done on time I'd suggest upping your lighting game and adding nutes. One of my first grows was auto assassin, each plant had their own 105w cfl. They took about three months to grow with limited nutes being added. Went to HPS for a while, I'm now using a LOT of CREE high output 3w LED - 140w of output on average per plant combined with a full regimine of nutes and have been able to get them done much quicker, some in as little as 55 days.

Next grow I'm definitely upping the light situation. This was just my first grow and really just an experiment to see if I could grow without killing it! Pandora has stood up to over watering, under lighting, messed up light schedule until I got a timer, and fluctuating temperatures and slight mold until I got a fan in my box. She may lose some of her yield because of all of it but HEY shes still alive :)

And fyi I'm not a man or mentally retarded. I'm just a chick trying to figure this stuff out so I can ditch the dealer :)

All the problems you've listed definitely have played a role in your plant taking a bit longer than specified. And for a first grow, with minimal lighting and no added nutes, I have to say congrats ma'am. Just a side note too, never count on a plant being "done" when the breeder or seedbank says it will be done. Those are pretty much rough guesstimates and are based on optimal growing conditions, which by your own statements are just not there. Again, a few more weeks to make up for lost grow time from all the probs you listed and she'll be a damned nice first grow. Since no one else was courteous enough, let me welcome you to RIU.

hey keyla, congatz on getting closer to ditching your dealer!

I am also doing the same and also on my first grow!

I have 2 Critical Mass Auto Fems on the way but outdoors, on the balcony! In Southern Spain!

Dont have the opportunity to grow indoors but outdoors I think they are doing fine!

They are both at 36 days from germination and started flowering about 2 weeks ago!

For the last couple of days started using organic nutes for flowering with higher Potassium
and they seem to like it!

I think my grow will be long as I cannot control the sun or weather by they are loving the
outside!

just thought to say hi, introduce my grow and post my first msg!

keep it up!
