day 42 no flower on my auto

think i may have to pistils cant seem to upload any pics on this thread so will load up a new question relative to this with new pics thanks guys youve been great help

Some strains just take longer- and if its a sativa heavy strain that is usually the case more so too. Autos do what they want- flipping the light to 12/12 wont make her do anything. Autos do what they like no matter what they light does. Ive had photos in the past that needed a decent whack of potassium to get them to really start even showing flowers (my BC buds hash plant is like that now) It took me giving her an extra dose of flowering nutes with a bit more P/K mixed in on top of the normal feedings to get her to really start showing her pre flowers so perhaps try an extra dose of flowering nutes now and see if that helps. Other than that there isnt anything you can really do to induce flowering in an Auto.

thanks guys appreciate it, i have done alot of lst purely because my tent is only 50x50x100 so need to keep low and stealthy i know thats far from ideal for an auto but im just too impatient for photos lol, due to the bushyness of plant even when lst i needed to defol quite a bit for light pen. i think i may leave till end of week 6 it does have stipules which i believe are kind of like a pre sign of pre flower (sex) V pistils if im wrong please correct, thanks for the comments guys i will take advise and leave for a week or 2 more for signs and flip if not will flip myself as im happy with the sizing of the plant and 8 cola sites

I don't worry about an autoflower not flowering until about week 6. If you are in a hurry you can switch the lighting to 12/12 but it will hurt yield. If you have the time I would wait until 6-8 weeks before changing the lighting. I have gotten auto's that didn't auto and I had to finish like photo period plants and I've had photo plants that turned out to be auto so you never really know for sure what you have no matter what the package says. If looks like you've done a lot of defoliating. That is generally considered bad for auto's. Keep in mind that leaves are the solar collectors that power the plant. Fewer leaves means less energy and reduced yield.

Well if it’s not an autoflower it’s still a but early to flip a photoperiod plant into flower. But I think you should wait out a bit longer and if nothing comes then she’s a photoperiod and flipping light to 12/12 will definitely make it do something. Though I see you’ve done a lot of topping and LST which isn’t really preferable for a typical autoflower lineage. Either way your plants look nice. I say wait an other week and then flip to 12/12 to make it respond. It’s also a human putting these seeds in a package and atbthe end of the day it’s not impossible for it be a photoperiod. Anyway keep it up 🤙
