Can you make an Auto flower by changing the light schedule?

Thanks guys much appreciated, the dominant genes is definitely a good point, I think I test is in order...

well, you can grow autoflowers completely under 12/12 (albeit with lessened yield), so wouldn't that mean that they should immediately start flowering once they come out if that did induce flowering with them? ;) Those guys seem to back up my theory: https://2fast4buds.com/news/How-long-do-Autoflowers-take-from-seed-to-harvest To copy: "Autos – like regular plants – also spend some time growing in the vegetative stage. With regular plants, you can force them to flower by changing the light schedule. For instance, if you’re providing an 18/6 light/dark cycle now, you can make the plants flower by switching to a 12/12 cycle. With autos, however, you can’t do that. Why? Well, it’s because autos follow a fixed timing. As soon as the plant grows for a while, the plant switches to the flowering phase on its own without your interference."

Ok so that’s one vote each... ;)

Hi there, To my understanding in normal circumstances this should not be possible.. the genetic trait that makes an autoflower flower after a specific period of time instead of when going to 12/12 is basically being replaced. That's why the ruderalis strain (which has this trait) is being bred into the other strains (let it be indica, let it be sativa or both). happy growing

Hello.. Hope you are well.. In theory yes u can.. As most cannabis plants are hybrids these days, chances are she will contain both her ruderalis and her photoperiodic genes so i dont see this as a problem.. Obviously she will b receiving 6hrs less light a day than usual wen doing autos so u will most likely see a drip in yeild aswell unfortunately.. Hope all goes well 4 u.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀
