Autos that never autod ?!?!

I bought a 10 pack of Lowryder Diesel reg. autos and only 2 germed!!! I'm really no slouch when it comes to germing either. First time growing autos, so had to do some research. Didn't give a guano about "not stressing them" advice. Topped at 5th node and supercropped. Put in some good soil, feed them light, and kept em in 18/6 under CMH for 40 days without flowering!!! Germ and auto issues...good genetics there Joint Doctor. Had to switch to 12/12 with these "autos" and both showed female sex after 9 days. Guess I have some low yielding photos wasting space, so I decided to defoliate the shit out of em for shits n giggles. Here's some pics of my lil stripped banzai "photo/autos".

stress delays flowering
honestly should of been flowering around 30-40 days the whole breeder time thing is just a usable product estimate not a finished
may have been a bad batch
but usually its just as simple as over watering or soil thats just too hot
auto's are finicky the first few weeks
ive had nutrient problems delay flowering until week 10 veg'd the whole time never took the lights off
24/0 was a short stuff himalaya blue diesel topped and heavily lst'd
what breeder was this ?

lowryder/joint dr...played with freebie autos several times before and they've always showed some hair by 3 weeks. I then realize I'm wasting a pot, space, electricity, and soil/nutes so they get the chop. I was wasted when I ordered them..then noticed the ugly babies in my mailbox before it was too late. I'll keep the pics coming just for entertainment purposes. Let's see if the pruning boosts the yield.

Yeah I've got some NL's that started flowering between weeks 7-8. I didn't think they were going to auto either, just wait it out a while longer and see what happens.

Yeah I had some do not auto on me. Had a few $ left on the bean budget and snagged some KC45. 9 of them germed out of 10. 8 weeks went by and nothing. They were thrown strait in the ground. I saw a poster somewhere state that they auto when put in a pot and the root hits bottom after? That kinda sounded iffy to me though. This was after I had thrown them in the ground. Idunno but I kinda gave up on them after that point and abandoned them to the wilds. So who knows what they're doing now. That was close to 3 months ago. If they were sticking to photo the males have damn well thrown pollen in every direction possible. I may check on them out of curiosity. Had the ground loaded with osmocote and this summer didn't have any dry spells. Rained about once a week anyways.

@RedCarpetMatches - Sorry to read about ya Lowryder Diesels. i've had problems with a couple Auto's before like stated above they can be finicky.
I did pretty much the same and had some spare $ left over from my bean buy so went in on a few Lowryder/JD Diesels and I germe'd 2 which where a pain in the ass and had to perform a Seed-cection hehe (remove the shell casing and skin) and they where just lame lanky runts basically compared to my other girls!
Now there in like week 3 of flowering and they don't look too bad.
They have lots of bud sites but they just look a bit sparse, il put up a couple pics later.

Peace

Shit my pics aren't uploading for guanos sake. I'll post em tomorrow. They've already recovered from the major defoliating thanks to the tea. Did a little LST on the tall one to get an even canopy. She's really starting to look and smell good at just 2 weeks flower. In two more weeks I'm going to switch out my 400w CMH for the HPS.
