I have a 5x5 tent 6 auto's growing it right now. Planted all seeds same day. 2 of them are B.Dream Auto by Humbldot and they are still veg while other on late bloom. IMO 12/12 for 2-3 days wont help. Any other ideas? Anyone had same experience? P.s They are 61 days old

I had "super auto" that was difficult to flower. I grow outside and it was 12/12 for three months. And she even re-vegged when I moved her to a spot that fence light hit her at night. These are what I did. I let the soil dry out for 3-4 days. Water minimally when she look thirsty. Feed only seaweed and Potassium. Stay away from N. But you are in a tent. And I would like to suggest another approach. Photo gene expression bring a benefit. You can clone 😉 So, ignore this plant while you finish your other autos. This Blue Dream auto will keep vegging and getting big. Later, one plant will take half the tent space. So, train her so she doesn't get too tall. And use this opportunity to clone half a dozen plants and grow them smaller pots. Plant in small pots flower easier especially if you use Mycorrhiza. Then after you harvest your other plant, you can switch your light to 11/13. You will have your tent full of Blue Dream.

I know this won't help - but stick with photoperiod plants - less problems with genetics, bigger yields and less power consumption can be had easily enough. Giving them 12/12 for a week may trigger the Blue Dream into flowering, but will not be ideal for your other autos. Leaving them at 18/6 and the Blue Dream may not start flowering. If after a week at 12/12 and the Blue Dream start flowering, going back to 18/6 may send them back into vegetative growth. Leaving the whole lot at 12/12 to keep the Blue Dream flowering will mean a diminished yield form your other 4 autos. What a dilemma! If you don't have/want/can't afford another tent, lights etc to look after the Blue Dream plants, or have a buddy that could take them (problems, I know!), I really can't find a solution to your situation. Might be best to sacrifice the 2 Blue Dream plants for the 4 autos. If it is possible where you live, maybe putting the Blue Dream outdoors until the autos are finished, (if the climate is ok), could be an option, before bringing the Blue Dream back inside to finish? This is what I mean about sticking with photoperiod plants, better genetics and fewer problems. As others have stated, this auto flowering problem seems to happen quite frequently, judging by the amount of questions on this very same matter. And this genetic "variability" caused me, after experimenting with 30+ autos, to decide that auto flowers were not for me or my situation. I encountered more genetic freaks over those 30 odd autos than I have seen in 30+ years of growing normal photoperiod plants. Others may love them, but for me, it is auto flowers no more! I don't envy your situation, you really are "stuck between a rock and a hard place". Whatever solution you decide upon, I wish you the best of luck! Hope this helps,...... Organoman.

Change your lights to 18/6 autos bud with more light

I could be one of the growers Harbinger Of Harvest is referring to! I ran into the same problem you're having with some White Widow autoflowers I'm growing. I was coming up on 10 weeks from the time the sprouts first broke through the soil and didn't even have any signs of pistils starting to develop. I had been running lights 20/4 from the beginning. The plants were healthy, bushy, loaded with future bud sites, and gave zero indication that they were ever going to flower. So at about 9 1/2 weeks I cut their light to 12/12. Within 3 days I had pistils starting and within a week was well into flower. I've kept them at 12/12 and they seen to be progressing nicely. It could have been a coincidence, but I'm leaning toward thinking cutting the lights gave them the nudge they needed to start flower. Good luck with your grow!

The ones that aren't flowering.. Are most likely Photo dominant genetics. The breeders cross Ruderalis with select strains to produce Autoflower seeds. The percentage of autoflower genetics is not guaranteed. In my opinion the only way to induce these photo plants to flower is to switch to 12/12 at which point they will act like regular photo plants and should be left on 12/12. Iv'e seen this happen to so many growers on her growing auto flowers..
