Auto late flowering?

Plants look healthy and there are some hairs visible, but no realy bud production yet. Plants are Northern Lights autoflower. I am wondering if it is normal to not see any bud growth at this stage of an autoflower as I've seen lots of other autos flowering in week 5?

IT's definitely not normal. Usually they veg for 3 to 4 weeks and go into flower. Sometimes they take longer, and in the rare occasion, they will not flower and you have to put them into 12/12. If it keep growing buds, good, if it doesn't, then go 12/12.

Looks like it's getting there. A few things can affect how quickly an auto develops. I have an auto right now that's developing slower. Same genetics but because of other plants, I wasn't able to give it as much light. It's about 2 weeks behind the others. If your plants have already stretched, switching to bloom nutes and cutting off most of their N might encourage them to start focusing on buds. As long as your nodal spacing stays good, I wouldn't worry.

Sometimes they get more genetically inclined to their photodependent parents and the ruderalis trait doesnt get as much dominance as it should. Try flipping to 12/12, but if you are outdoors and have no space limitations, id say let it rip, let her grow to monster buds, get a massive harvest even if it takes a while for the 12/12 to come naturally.
