Hey there @Blazedone I see this question is still unresolved. Perhaps I can shed some light into the situation! Autoflowering or 'day-neutral' plants are naturally homozygous recessive meaning that its genetics contain two matching alleles that are both recessive. Normal Photoperiod plants genetics are Naturally Dominant meaning that they are the most likely trait to show up when bred. Because of this its extremely hard to stabilize the genetics of Autoflowering plants and sometimes the breeder chooses to breed plants that are not physically stable in exchange for a plant with more stable Autoflowering genetics(to make sure they stay as autoflowering) This causes people to get oddities like what you are experiencing. If you have trouble putting her into flower just giver her 12/12 because shes actually a photoperiod! I hope I help resolve your question and that the growth isn't too effected! 😎

High there! If it's an autoflowering seed, it should start flowering automatically around Week 3-4 regardless of the strain. (And the sex should be female if it's feminized). However if it's a bagseed it might turn hermaphrodite somewhere down the road since they tend to do that. Also: What one vendor calls "Blueberry" is not gonna be the same as what's sold as "Blueberry" by someone else. Strain names actually mean very little, sadly. Looking good so far!

@Blazedone,i think the stuff has the wrong ec/ ph for your girl. And saving in soil is most time the wrong site no save. But you can mix your own soil quiete easy and in the end cheap. Feel free to look into my newer diaries ther a re some reciepes

autos are wierd, because of their short flower time it's a headache to manage breeding them leading many breeders to resort to "herming" some mothers to make seeds. As you know the herm is hereditary, handed down to offspring, leading to issues for growers. Other mutations, i think the one you're talking about is the foxtailing that the blueberry is very prone to do. Nothing you can really do, if it's in the genes it's in the genes... but i saw some people on here with mutations iduring flower lasted like 4 months then it blew up, and... looks killer man, so depends on the choice you make, but at this stage , from your pictures i don't see mutation. Maybe a bit of heat stress or root issues from high PH, you can get away with dimming your lights for a week / 10 days, or add some zym, maybe a rhiz foliar spray these could help for the roots. Good luck 🚀

I would say the plants fine , autos often get a mutation but it wont hurt your plant any . I would give it a few more weeks and you will start to see this lady kick it into overdrive and likely start making flowers ! I hope this info helps you :) -Happy Growing!

Let her grow a couple more nodes and flowering should start. I've seen that thing happen on leaves two times, once due early feeding, the other due the soil been too hot. On both times a flush helped.
