Flowering

After looking at your diary, your plants still need a week or three before they are ready. Unfortunately, the times given by the breeders is rarely accurate to what happens in the real world and unfortunately too, no one told the plants to read the packet either!. You will have to be patient, you really don't have any other options but to wait until they are ready for harvest. The times the breeders give are generally very optimistic and do not take into consideration different growing techniques, temps, light strength, nutrient given, size of containers, lighting schedules and most importantly, grower experience and knowledge. The times are merely a guide, based on optimum growing conditions by expert/professional growers who grow plants in laboratory type environments and are far removed from a dude growing in their garage with a cheap LED light and no previous experience. I feel the breeders are acting a bit irresponsibly by citing times that are faster/shorter than their competitors who are also touting auto flower plants. At least with photoperiod plants, time lines are much more predictable and the breeders usually cite times as "middle of October" rather than saying October 18th for example. I believe auto flowering plants should be divided into 3 groups; early, medium and late/long. This way growers would know an approximate timeframe, rather than having many disappointed customers who find their 8 week strain are taking 12 weeks instead. Until their is some clarity and an unlikely consensus between the various breeders, this situation will never be gone, with many growers being continually frustrated by inaccurate timeframes. It all really comes down to breeder "A" saying their "mega resin dripping monster" will take 10 weeks and breeder "B" then saying their version of "mega resin dripping monster" takes only 9 weeks, before breeder "C" says their version of "mega resin dripping monster" will take 8 weeks, before ......... I think you might get the picture by now. Hope this helps,...... Organoman.
