Can I force Flowering on Auto Flowers?

SubliminalSocietystarted grow question 2y ago

Week 10: No flower (see pics). Growth is great – shot up 20cm this week! But still no sign of flowering. Starting to think this "auto" label is unreliable. Can I do anything to force flower? Limitation: - outdoor grow - weekend visits only - no indoor irrigation

Hello SubliminalSociety, Your plant is pre flowering already. She will start showing her white pistils and bud forming soon. And no there is nothing you can do to trigger the flowering phase. The only thing you can do is making sure that the plant does get 12 hours darkness in a tent for example. But I would say, let it go, let it grow, you are doing great so far! Happy Growing! 💚

It may not have the trait to autoflower and may just be showing sex and waiting for the days to get shorter before it goes into flower. If that's the case you may end up with a monster.🤣

No evidence to suggest you can force autos but you coulkd try extending the dark period by putting it in the shed if its in a pot.Its only going to get bigger with more veg so you'll benefit in the long run.

Heyoo, its shooting up, because its in flower stretch. You will see flowers in lately 14 days, dont worry its in a perfect state of its cycle. Early signs are dangerous, means you overstressed the auto or its a male.
