I can’t remember if I asked this question alread...

Just grow photoperiod plants, that way you can control the veg period and flower them when YOU are ready/satisfied with their size. Autos are not all that they are made out to be! Stick with photo fems if yield is your goal..........they have decades of development behind them already, are more stable and even more potent than most autos. You can also save a lot on electricity costs by growing photoperiod plant too......... Autos = 12-14 weeks at 18/6 vs photos = 4-5 weeks veg at 18/6 and 7-9 weeks flowering at 12/12...........do the sums, the savings are substatial!

just use photoperiods

they are often advertised as XL or XXL autos. it doesn't guarantee a longer vege, but some should.

Have you thought about using photoperiods?

Autoflowers do their own thing. I have noticed more sativa strains tend to take longer. Also aggressive lst when they are about 2 to 3 weeks old and on might slow them down. I have grown a good number of autos in diaries here. What they grow in might also play into time line. Plus environment conditions. Autoflower plants don't do well in soil. They need a coco/perlite mix or Hydro application of some form to be worth it in my opinion. I have had a bunch of over half lb dry yield autos with excellent potency. 👍🏻

Yes, there are autoflowering strains that tend to have a longer vegetative phase before transitioning to the flowering stage. While the characteristic of autoflowers is to start flowering based on age rather than light cycle, some strains have been developed to exhibit a more extended vegetative period. These are often referred to as "Ruderalis hybrids." Ruderalis is a cannabis subspecies known for its autoflowering traits, and breeders use it to create hybrids with desired characteristics. When selecting autoflowering seeds, you can look for strains with longer vegetative phases specified by the breeder. Some seed banks or breeders may provide information on the expected duration of the vegetative stage for a particular autoflowering strain. Keep in mind that while there are options with longer vegetative phases, the overall life cycle of autoflowering plants will still be shorter compared to photoperiod plants. Always check the information provided by the breeder or seed bank to find a strain that fits your desired growth timeline.

To make make sure you understand, mephisto has two Jammy Dogers. The original is Jammy Dogers. The one I did was Jammy Dodgers #2. Idk the difference. I ran #2 though. My spouse can't smoke it. They are put on the couch within 15 minutes and asleep within the next 5. Shit is SUPER indica. Highly recommend him. Just don't over water on beginning and she will yield near half a lb I'm positive. I have documented all my grows if you want to go see my results BTW. Good luck. 👍

Jammy Dodgers from Mephisto. Mine started like week 5 or 6. He could of went probably to 15 or 16 weeks. He was cut late 13 maybe day 1 of week 14 and all cloudy thrichs. He's mainly indica, like 85%. He was my smallest plant, I stunted and over Watered him which slowed him down. He yielded 4oz. He is my loudest smelling strain. Classic pine earth lemon pungent smell with lil skunk. I can't open the jars without entire room smelling of weed fr. I've seen him yield over 8oz on YouTube. HighAgain on YouTube showed him doing over 8oz. Mango Smile by mephisto will go past 100 days too. I've seen it yield over 1lb on YouTube as well, can't rember the guy but it's on there. Mine went same length as Jammy dodgers #2, but Mango smile was 20-30% amber unlike Jammy d which was cloudy and some even clear. Mango smile is my most exotic smelling strains it's LITERALLY Mango cookie dough that was sprayed with Propane. I'm not even exaggerating. Mango cookie dough sprayed with propane. Not gas or diesel, propane. Shit is wild. Mango smile was my largest yield, 7oz off one plant. I highly recommend it. Goodluck and please consider me as the answer so I can be entered for a chance to win grower of the month contest I would really appreciate your support growmie 😃 🙏 Goodluck man.
