This is being uploaded well after the fact and this is probably is what has stunted it growth here on day 43. This was the stupidest LST ever done. All this did was turn the main stalk into a very bent bonsai looking plant.
She absolutely exploded in week 3. I'm glad that I went with the root soaker watering system. Otherwise the idiot early LST that I did would have cause mold or rot due to the fact so many fan leaves were sitting in the dirt at this point.
Week 6 and still no flowers. The LST is working well and you can see new colas sprouting but at this rate they are still a month from even flower height. Did all new LST after the defoliation healed. The little rivet gun really works well with these cloth bags.
I'm on Day 47 and absolutely no sign of flowering from this auto. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The temperature in that closet does get high as there is no AC in there and I live in the swampy South. 89.4 in the shade today. Did I get bogus seeds and this is a photo??
I'd recommend you make ONE change.
Maybe gradually lower your lighting ( don't do big lighting changes).
So you'd today use say 19.5 hours light, tomorrow 19, the day after 18.5...until *maybe* something like 16/8. Yes, 18/6 is typically just about fine, but in your case, they might need a stronger "hint".
I am so disappointed with this grow. I have reviewed all 140+ WCOG grows and they ALL have flowered between 10 days and 5 weeks. I didn't think an auto could even go 7 weeks without flowering. Even Enzo at Fast Buds thought this was very strange. Seed Supreme can kiss my ass with their shitty seeds! 66% failure rate with THIS as the only seed to sprout.
Does heat impact flowering with autoflowers and specifically Indica dominant strains such as this one?
I know that both Indica and Ruderalis prefer cooler climates. I cannot get my closet under 85⁰. In the South and no AC in that room.
Can this be why I'm at day 53 of veg?
They will be just fine, there is no need to stress, the warm conditions won't make any noticeable difference.
Indicas come from places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Morocco and the arid regions of India, places that are usually very warm/hot during the flowering time. I have grown plants that receive outdoor temps of between 80 and 110 degrees and in full sun, all day every day and as long as they are watered correctly, never seem to suffer. Heat can increase trichome production.
When it comes to harvest time, try to do so about 1-1 and a half hours after the lights come on and before the heat builds up, this will ensue your flowers will still have trichomes in peak condition and unaffected (by heat) healthy terpenes. No need to do anything weird like extended darkness or stupid things like ice treatment, just leave your plants to think they are safe and growing normally before surprising them with harvest. The last thing you want to do after weeks/months of careful cultivation is introduce some sort of artificial stress, parading as an urban myth/ghetto science and made up by people too high to think properly and without any real knowledge about how plants function, right before harvest. Harvesting healthy unstressed plants will ensure that you harvest the best quality flowers.
Hope this helps,............

We're into week 8 and still no flowering. Just on the off chance that this is a photo I have flipped the lights to 12/12.
I hate this plant.

I'm giving up. I don't know what this is but she ain't an auto. If she's a photo I don't have the patience to sit through 3-4 months of flowering. She's getting the chop tomorrow and planting seeds from branded FB packs. DONE!
After a week of 12/12 to see what she is it looks like she's a photoperiod. Enzo from FB said that 12/12 won't do anything to autos other than hinder their growth.
I'm 99% certain she's flowering. I hope some sees this and can confirm. That right branch is even starting to look like a cola.
