White widow auto: it’s going 7 weeks now and the other 3 plants the same age all have been in flower except the WW auto. I read that a few folks had gotten photos from ILGM instead of the autos ordered…. How can I tell if it’s an auto or photo? does it just take a while for ww

High Yardbuds, The WW on the pictures is definitely a photoperiod. I have never heard from a autoflower strain that does not start to flower within a month. Happy Growing! 😋

The plants that are in flower now are autos - they have their own schedule and do not require light changes to start flowering... the plants that are not are photoperiods - they DO require a light change to start flowering and that should be happening soon .... and yes, seeds get mixed up ... I ordered 5 Tangerine Dream autos and got 4 Tangerine Dreams (REALLY tall and airy) and one unknown indica (short and bushy and massive buds... wish I knew what that was!). Good luck my friend... hope you've chosen a different nute line!

If it's a photoperiod, it should be done by the end of October (if you live in the northern hemisphere). Autoflowers are unpredictable, which is why I'm not a fan. It could start flowering at any time. White widow auto, from what I just read, should take about 3 months outside from seed to finish. Now, since you're in week 7, I would say it's a little early to tell. It could just be a little slow and start to bud this week. Only time will tell. I hope this helps.
