Strategies for delaying flowering in auto

I grow both... I have some Useful seeds going now!!!
Now that I have my own private grow space I'm setting up I have big plans. If I can make autos work for me, I will probably grow autos exclusively. Other than I really want to grow a scrog in my 2x4 tent. I have some photo seeds I want to grow in the 2x4 as a scrog. I could grow them in my 4x4 as a scrog but I think a 2x4 is easier to access the base of the plants for maintenance on the scrog and feeding.,.

This is actually pretty stupid thread. He wants to grow them more coz hes noob who cant veg plants and decided to grow autos… why just not growing foto and flip when you want? Anyway you wont be able finish either auto or foto if you have issues in veg.
Think back long and hard, ask yourself, did I ever ask a stupid question? How many times were you told, 'that's a really stupid question.' Probably not too many.
There's more to life than growing, learn how to communicate with your fellow human beings.
"Anyway, you won't be able to finish either auto or foto if you have issues in veg."
Know what? This comment ain't smart, lol, but I'm not gonna' call you STUPID for thinking that having a bit of difficulty along the way in a grow will produce nothing, I guess you never had an 'issue' in veg, right? You lack tact and fact, but no one is calling you stupid, get it?

Oh you feel insulted about somebody else is saying true to somebody else? Growing weed in its vegetative phase is the most easiest thing on whole growing. If your are not able to handle this couple weeks of fun, how do you want to get through 12 weeks of real flowering??? He wants longer veg (due obvious lack of experiences) and choose to grow autos, thats stupid. And I tell you why… coz those suckers including you did poor research on how to properly treat the plants, rather were watching YouTube bullshit and when it comes to their own grow they are fucked up with stunned plant look like shit starting to flower. Then they come here asking for help and when somebody tell them true, they feel insulted refusing to admit they made an error.

What I 'feel' is sorry for you for talking to the dude that way with no good cause, the guy needs to learn, but you don't need to say 'it's stupid' for asking a question, the guy is trying to become as good as you and you're scoffing at him. Maybe one day he'll be as perfect as you, give him a break. Now your assuming something about me and you are showing yourself to be less than brill for doing so, don't be such an all-powerful, assuming jackass!
If you have a log here I'll check in and take a look. Do you? If that leaf you're using as an avatar is any indicator you could use some help.

You do not have to feel sorry for me. You can feel sorry for 11 pages of bullshits where the problem is disability to veg plants…

And who forced you to read 11 pages of bs??? It's impossible for me to feel sorry for 11 pages of bs because I didn't read it, I got the gist of it in the first few posts and don't need to read it all.
But I'll take the time to call out a bully like you, a know it all who calls another grower 'stupid' for asking a question. And why does 'mr. perfect you read 11 pages of something he is so unhappy with anyway? LOL

Well, this is getting ridiculous. I did not called anybody stupid, I said the thread is stupid, nobody forced you to make any deduction out of it. I called him noob which pretty much reflects the question he was asking. I read the thread till the point I dropped my post, than left. Few days later somebody came to give me some kind of moral lessons. Acting like enlighted keeper of the human rights. Leave those lessons for your children, I am out…

The whole point of an auto is to just let it do its own thing. If you want to control veg and flower times then grow photoperiod plants. If you are looking to extend the veg time of an autoflower, you are going about it the wrong way. You need to look for auto genetics that have a naturally longer on average veg time. Look for autos like Dutch Passion, or XL autos... These auto strains usually take longer to finish... 12 weeks or more as advertised.

Learn how to veg plants, this is your answer. Once it has been done, you will have completely opposite issue. But most likely if you reach that point, by that time you have already gave up on autos. Sorry for being rude in your thread but this is my point of view, you can pretty easy ignore it. Good luck!
Uh, that's why OP is here asking questions, so they can learn. If every time you ask anyone a question you are told "just learn how to do it," when someone could actually help, how will you feel about that?? Would that give you warm fuzzies every time you heard the door slammed in your face?
I don't always choose to ignore 'know it all' bullies, if more ppl in the world would stand up to them, the world would be a better place.
Your point of view is yours, but that doesn't mean you won't be called on the carpet for being a verbally abusive nincompoop!

It was nice of you to apologize for being so rude in OP's thread!

Look kid or teacher or whatever you are. The world works on base of asscrawling or loyalty. So if you are in position you need something, behaving like your are the one who deserves respect most like wont get you anywhere. You either pay for it or figure it out by yourself, both ways are painfull. Here on RIU, people crying and leaving insulted on a daily basis. I am not perfect, I have my own issues and there are much more better growers than I do. You and OP are not ones of those. Have fun sakas…

I'm getting the feeling that light spectrum makes a difference in how quick a plant will mature, Auto or Photo. I had to use my little Burple light to cover a plant that was overwhelmed by different pheno of the same strain and it is maturing my White Widow a lot faster that it's taller sister, which is under more full spectrum lights.
