EasyRyder (AKx LR) Not flowering????

I have been growing it for 6 weeks approx. 41 days since seed. Its under a 150 watt hps... from what i've read it seems like a genetic mix up because they were supposed to be autos.. so what do yall think just switch to 12/12???? they are on 18/6 now.

Yeah they need 12/12 to build up the hormones necessary to flower. =)

I'm not sure what to tell ya man. I haven't heard any reports of that strain not autoflowering. I grew it this past summer and it started flowering after 2 1/2-3 weeks. You might want to consider 12/12.

When you ordered the seeds, did they come in a little vial in a small match box sized package from the Joint Doctor?

Yea i actually already switched it to 12/12 2 days ago, ive noticed the pistols getting white and I think i read thats a sign of flowering. But the one issue i was having was that it was getting to tall and it getting to close to the light. So i decided to LST it, it is so bushy I have pics throughout the grow I might post later.

I got them in the little package from Jointdoctor

What nutes are you using?

I use botanicare Pure blend pro bloom and used the veg in the beginning. This is my first grow so i'm not really accurate with the nute to water ratio i'm just kind of winging it.

I also used Botanicare Pure Blend Pro line. I found that Easy Ryder didn't need much nutes and a once a week feeding at 1/2 strength was more than enough. Also, I didn't feed for the first time until about 3 weeks in with 1/4 strength Grow. By the time they were ready for the next feeding, I switched to Bloom.

Do you have any pics?

I'd try to be a as accurate as possible with the nutes. Young plants burn easily if you feed them too much, too soon. There's no need to over do it. Seems like autos in particular are extra sensitive. Not saying that you are, but if you are overfeeding and burning the plants, that will definitely stunt their growth and delay flowering.
