JordanThe420BarB This is the end of week 8/ beginning of week 9 for Northern Lights Auto, still no sign of budding. To the right, Tangerine Dream auto is just loving life and budding like CRAZY all over, she's at 6 weeks old starting her 7th. I'm nervous to switch my light cycle to 12/12 to try and trigger budding for Northern Lights, as Tangerine Dream is doing so well right next to her and I don't really have the option to isolate NL by herself.. kinda in a pickle. I'm thinking I should just wait it out with NL and hope she starts producing buds in the next couple of weeks. Every grow diary I've gone through on NL Auto, I've never seen an autoflower go this long and NOT show signs of budding so I'm kinda confused 😕 guess ill wait it out?

JordanThe420BarB So, she took FOREVER to start to flower 15 weeks is absolutely crazy! I had to give her to a friend so he could put her under 12/12 light cycle just to force her to flower. I'm pretty sure this phenome is a "Fast-Version" and not a true autoflower. Faster than a photo but slower than a true auto/ ruderalis.

JordanThe420BarB Not too sure about her. She definitely wasn't a true autoflower. Maybe more of a fast flowering variety or just a lot less ruderalis in her genes. I raised her on an autoflower schedule because that's what the package said it was.. I was expecting her to grow like her description in 10-14 weeks TOPS.. she didn't even start her flowering phase until weeks 13-14. 18 weeks later and all growth has come to a hault, with a pretty pathetic yield and tiny buds/colas and her trichomes are starting to turn amber. Kinda confused about her genetics and the turnout but it was quite a frusterating learning experience for my first autoflower grow. I hope the other Northern Lights Autoflower seed that was in the 3-pack grows more like as advertised, im also keeping a diary on her to compare and contrast with the first NL Auto grow; labeled Northern Lights #2. Harvesting her in sections Top half/Bottom half but she will be completely harvested and hung upside down to dry for 7-10 days by the end of this weekend. Wish my first "autoflower" grow experience was a better one, but I currently have 3 other autoflowering strains that are doing very well with very promising results and FAT buds. he Tangerine Dream auto will also be ready for harvest by the end of the week after flushing her slowly through the first part of the week. I hope to try growing Northern Lights again but this time more successful 🙏🏽 Thanks for all the help/wisdom and learning with me Growmies! ✌️
