When do they flower?

Short rider auto's

when should they switch I am on week 4 and not even a pre flower yet?

Should I switch them to 12 12?

I have never dealt with an auto strain, but aren't they supposed to start flowering "automatically" without a light change?

they flower automatically,thats why there called autos..

No need to change your lights... should have them running on 20/4 or whatever your liking is. What kind of lighting are you using? I am using T5's for my veg lights and I have 3 easy ryders who showed pre-flowers after about 2 weeks or so. i run a veg schedule of 22/2

I know they should switch them selves but I also know short rider is not stable and most are not true auto's and people have to switch light cycles as they would with a non auto strain.

anyone with short rider experience?
