autos don;t use light cycles. so saying light leaks or interupted light cycles will cause a hermie is wrong. They flower due to age, not light. thats what makes them autos.

your hermie issue is nothing to do with your light cycle. i mean just looking at those , they look spindly ,stunted , possibly overfed and overwatered. .. ive grown 2 afghan autos and the reason i love them is i dont use a timer at all , i turn the light on when i get up and off when i go to bed and its rarely the same times every day. plants dont give 1 fuck.

Nice plant...but i think you may be a little wrong. I actually have a 4×4 tent with two 1000 watt led's. I lefr or on 24 hrs fpr abput a week straight and if you so aome research, autoflowers can certainly be affected by altering their light schedule wven though they can flower in any lighting. It has to be a steady routine...or at least close...

Its because they started to turn hermie and stopped producing buds

They’ll still finish like usual just a bit slower.

I have not read anything like that. .. and like i said i use autos because i like the option of turning things off ad tucking everything away when i feel like it, and that means this plant in particular gets a crazy cycle. 13 or 14 hours some days 9 or 10 some days. it doesnt matter they dont use the darkness hormone that photoperiods use. also you can and many do, flower autos with 24 hrs of light. maybe you should check the auto section on here?

and dude, you did not grow that with a 1000 watt led lol. i grow mine with 250 watts . maybe you grow these under the cannopy of other plants ?

It is easy to get autos to go south ...... Light leaks , overfeeding , overwatering, stress , etc.

Cut your losses as I see one of the has seeded. It will stop bud production and continue to just seed itself .... Which brings me to the next thing ..... Autos can on occasion herm out on its own ... Breeders introduce Ruderalis as a way to BREED in the fast flowering aspect but sometimes you get untested runs , weak strains , unstable genetics , etc.

Ruderalis is the " third wheel " in the gene pool so just about anything can happen , and it takes a long time to single out the best plants to breed and continue the line. That's why regulars are perfect for cloning a hardy / productive plant versus autos that may or may not fully be all they can be. I noticed that seeds from the same packs or runs ( even my own crosses ) make a whole variety of Pheno traits ....

Some short , Some tall and lanky , some purple , some stall or go male.
It is more of a crap shoot but their are some good ones out there. That's why I just make my own FEMMY seeds ( selfing the plant ). Once I see a good strong female flowering as it should I pollinate it with the pollen I get from one of its branches using CS.

Interrupting an autos light cycle COULD have made a nanner or two that you didn't catch and made enough pollen to seed out. It has the typical stretched out clumpy buds of a seeded strain ... There IS some smoke in there but most will be just plant. There is some definite frost to use !

My 2¢ : if it were me , I would harvest as usual .... Hang it / dry it / cure it for a couple weeks........ THEN clean out what you can of the bud , cover it with just enough VG ( glycerin ) in a mason jar ( boil it in water bath for about 2-3 hours ) , then strain it out into a container and make INFUSED Glycerin that you can vape or apply to tongue.
It's a little work but you can still process out some meds to enjoy.

Start another set ... ALWAYS plan on a plan B.
Good luck.

Oh really??? Full of seeds though?

It’ll have seeds but at least it’ll be good. Looked at your “1k “ light sorry but it’s not even close to being able to come close to a 1000 watt equivalent light.

My light? You think Thats the problem?

You have poor reading skills. I was simply clarifying it doesn’t come close to a 1000 watt equivalent. Since you were going back a forth with puff.

I think i interpret things fairly well, u said it wasnt even clpse to being equivalent so i thought you knew about the wegoo 1k lights. I didnt read anything incorrectly
