Thanks, yeah there is lots of foxtailing, i may be wrong here but i think its not so unusual with sativa strains, eg Dr Ginspoon is pretty much PURE foxtailing !!

How is there zero Ruderalis? What do you think they crossed a Jack Herer with to make it autoflower? It has Ruderalis in it.

Supposed to be 7 - 8 weeks. She had zero flowers at this point. She's been on 12/12 for 6 weeks and she's still not done at 16 weeks.
She is not an auto. She'd have been done weeks ago if she was.

Not entirely true. I've had autos run longer than that.

Had a Seedsman Lemon Auto that didn't start to flower for over 9 weeks. Ran over 19 weeks total.

Overfeeding can retard flowering.

I suppose it's possible that you were given a photoperiod seed instead of an auto. But if it was an auto seed then it had Ruderalis in it. Also, some auto's don't always autoflower. Something about nature doing its own thing. Man can manipulate but plants don't always cooperate.

The only thing that matters at this point is when the plant is ready to harvest. You still have a couple weeks left. Don't be in a rush to chop. Patience will lead to a better result.

Ok, well as far as i see it, if a supposedly 10 week "auto" is still going at 19 weeks its clearly not an auto and doesnt have enough ruderalis genetics in it to do what it is supposed to (start flowering around 4 weeks and be done at 9/10 give or take).
Cheers!

Autoflowers don't flower based on light schedule. Just because your plant didn't start flowering at 4 weeks that doesn't make it a non autoflower.

You don't just get to call it something it's not because it didn't meet your expectations of it.

Hey there. What lights are you using, how strong and how close? Also what and how often are you feeding, what's your temp/RH and what is the medium you are using?
