Barney's Farm Wedding Cake Auto stuck in preflower? (DWC)

Hi inversi0n, yes, they are all autos. I just want to harvest as soon as possible, so I switched them to 12/12. I would prefer having a decent harvest and not popcorn buds all over, so I am a little worried with the 12/12, but the middle one still gains height and my grow tent is soon at its limit. The left and the right one are in bloom, but the middle one is still growing new leaves. I am very confused about that, I should have stuck with Mephisto Genetics or some other premium auto breeder since auto genetics seem to be less stable than feminized. The size will never be equal anymore, which also means the plant on the bottom right will receive way less DLI, I guess I can't do much about that. Maybe I will hang an extra light there, but let's see.

Hello. If they are all autos, it doesn't really matter, will you switch to 12/12 or nor. You might, however, make it (or any other option) to make her extra stress, in that case most of weeds would be switched to flowering skipping some developing from the veg. But as I see, they all on bloom now, don't they? Just in a different stage of it. You might get benefits from it, cause some plants will be ready sooner than the others, and you'll have some extra space. But I don't think it's possible to keep them in a same size anymore

Weird that picture 5 is missing. The problem plant is seen in picture 2. There are some hairs seen but it is also still growing new tops. I think barney's farm did not select their autos very well. So you would keep going with 18/6?

lol... growth* ; 12/12 ... various typeographical errors oops.

pic 5 is missing, but these all look like flowering plants. just on different schedules. if the missing picture shows a plant with no tufts of whit hairs forming at groth nodes and terminal nodes of branches, then i'd consider 12/11 for that plant. if it's poppin white hairs all over (not just single calyxes as base of limbs) then it's fine and just a slower developer... probably correlates to bigger yield too.. such is life with autoflowers. not easy to plan for and takes control out of your hands.
