Autoflower not flowering after 3 months

indianqueensstarted grow question 6y ago

I'm growing a dwarf auto-flowering strain in a greenhouse outdoors. Its now been 12 weeks since it sprouted and no sign of flowers. Someone else mentioned that autoflowers sometime switch to photoperiod outdoors. Is this a possible explanation or am I just being impatient?

Unfortunately sometimes not enough of the autoflowering trait is passed on to the offspring genetics. Looks like u have a photoperiod version of the strain instead. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Starting seedlings, which is the best route? Please help!Should I start my seedling right into the medium (Roots organic original potting soil which I have heard can be a little hot for seedlings) or should I start with Rock-wool first and then transfer the auto into the medium. Thank you!

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200. I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new). Should I increase EC of the feeding water? I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.

Smallest plant in the world. When do I pick it? Much faster flowering time to normal plants. (half posting for lols)You'd be hard pressed to find a smaller cannabis plant anywhere in the world. So.... I had issues with the roots when it was in the rockwool, was going to do DWC, decided to put in soil due to issues. It's taken like 3 weeks to flower to this stage, not sure when to pick it.

Add Pirana Should I add Pirana&Tarantula, only thing is the plants are coming into their 3rd week of veg, and it's only recommended to use these 1,2,5 and 6. But do you think I can squeeze in a weeks worth, so it'll be 3,6,and week7. Or should I just wait till 5&6 and skip veg round?
