Holding off flower on an auto (wayyyy too small!)

BlueDreamer1started grow question 3 years ago
So my recovering plant (way too small) is starting to show signs of flower. I want to delay it. If I keep a 20/4 light schedule and hold off on bloom nutes, would this work? I stupidly trusted ANs PH perfect, this is what I got.. serious PH issues. (On the mend now though!)
Open
Week 4
Plant. Too short

I don’t think there’s much that you can do for an auto. They match to the beat of their own drum haha. I have a mystery seed that turned out to be an auto and it just started flowering last week and she’s only 6 inches tall or so. They flower when they want, essentially, so I don’t think there’s much that you can do. Mine was/is under 24 hours of light as well, and you can’t really add more haha and less light will only keep it smaller and won’t influence when it actually begins to flower. That’s ruderalis genetics for ya!

Hey the 8th, thanks for your advice! Yes mate there is white hairs. I've taken another photo and put it on my diary. Does this mean shes going to need bloom nutes? Also have I missed the stretch period as well? Sorry for all the questions.. I'm new 😝👍👊

Also, I think maybe I see a pistol low-left of center, but otherwise all I see is new growth. Do you have any actual white hairs?

If it's an auto, then no. If she's in good shape now, however, you may be surprised with your end result. She still has 2-3 weeks of heavy growth ahead!

Unfortunately no. Once she's flowering its a one way road
