At least yours flowered. Mine had been growing for 60 days with no flowers. I had to flip to 12/12 and she stretched like crazy. Pretty obvious I was sold a photo.

Nice Sativa stacking , disregard breeder estimates on harvest , they take as long as they need .... especially sativas.

Still nice cropping! My flowers have doubled since last pic few days ago. Even if slow, be patient as I have been told... still learning that part the most.

Yea I heard about the slow thing with auto NL’s. But 60 + days and no flowers is a little more than patience, that’s why I flipped, and low and behold..... I seriously doubt she would have stretched if I kept her on 18/6. But it’s now officially 1 full week since the flip, this week is when I should start to see some bud formation, usually takes a week or 2 to break out of the veg state. So we’ll see.

Here are some pic from start flower till this morning. Veg was quick and flowering is dragging. Rather be other way around. I am sure the seed was most of issue. They was small but able to germinate. I have taken green seed in past and made beautiful flowers. Each seed is diff no matter what we grow. Good luck.

Iether that or you just happened to flip at the time she went anyway. I average 49 days before seeing pistils with autos and I've had a few go 55-65 days. Blue dream auto was my longest at 65.

Looks good. Dont go overboard with the molasses. Im doing first auto grow and theres nothing quick about it. It did seem like it grew itself with just ro water cal mag and lil molasses as well.
Finally received my Mars TS1000 few ago. Running around 4500 Lux . At full cap.

I didn’t know I could over do on molasses .. good to know
 
In 120 days I could have grown a photo and got 5 times the weight. This is why I was skeptical on messing with the autos in the first place. But we’ll see. I sure hope it doesn’t take 120 days.
The one i have is going to produce like a photo. Only difference is ya cant really clone. Thats my experience so far anyway. I usually grow photos from clone.

I’m sure I will get a nice yield from it. Doubt I will hit the usual 7-8 oz I get from my photos, but we’ll see. Think I’m gonna take some clippings and clone since I’m convinced it’s a photo. If it’s not, I’ll find out real fast.

What’s ur average yield on auto? If u grow them.. 8 is good for a photo
My last one only hit 4oz, and it wasn’t that impressive of a smoke either. Could have been the strain too, I don’t even remember what it was. I already ordered my Bruce banners, suppose to be heavy yielders, so I guess I don’t have a choice but to use the seeds. I only did a auto run because I was going back to work and wanted to make things as easy on my wife as possible. Screwed my entire perpetual grow up, this plant should be close to harvesting right now, instead she’s in the early stage of flowering. So to answer your question, all my autos have always been half the yield of my photos, and I could’ve yielded a lot more if I vegged the photos longer, but I’m only in a 3x3.
