Will 12/12 work on my Autos

Matht4started grow question 3 years ago
After week 8 and only one flowering from my first Auto's I've flipped to 12/12 I'm a novice but I don't think they look too bad. Do you think they will now flower ?

Should they have flowered after 8 weeks ? That's the only reason I'm considering flipping the cycle. Week 9 now and they ain't showing signs

Si son autos no necesitan fotoperiodo la mejor franja horaria para mi gusto es 20/4.

you dont need to put autos on 12/12 they do it themselves they stay on 18/6 or 20/4 for the whole cycle :) you will be stressing them if you only give them 12 hours :) thats for photoperiod growers like myself who prefer to control of flipping a plant manually :)

"I've got 4 ladies 3 Gorilla Glue and one OG Kush. One of the GG is flowering the others just keep growing. This is my 3rd grow and 1st attempt at autos ! " -- low percent chance an auto is actually not an auto... rare but can happen. if done right, i believe they are over 99% autos. if not done right, can be a lower percentage of course. (punnet squares dictate known resulting ratios, given large enough sample size) So, be certain the ones not flowering aren't just slow ass plants... once certain, you'll want them on a 12-12 schedule or 13on-11off etc.. in general 10+ hours of uninterrupted darkness causes the hormonal shift to bloom growth. "12" is just being safe as it can vary a bit. If they end up photos, don't be afraid to trim them back before flipping... if the size gets monstrous... or doubling/tripling after flip would be a major problem from extra growth.

Figure out the DLI of the light at your plants' canopy level at 12/12 and see if they will get enough light, vs. what they'd do at a longer lights-on. "Flipping" isn't a thing for autos...it won't hurt them but there's absolutely no reason to do it otherwise. With Photoperiod plants you do it to trigger flowering...but autos flower when they're ready no matter what the lighting schedule.

12/12 for autos is pretty pointless. Quick flowering and harvest is what you're looking for. 20/4 or 18/6 is perfect for autos. The only reason to use a 12/12 cycle is to force flowering, if she is taking a lot of time to start

12/12 isn’t gonna make a difference. They look healthy have u checked with the seed bank they are from and are u sure there auto. If ur not sure then try 12/12 just remember it will take a few days to see anything
