ID:	373075 So I have this 57 day old Northern Lights Auto, she seems to not want to come out of veg. Have had no issues with her at all throughout, she's obviously gone/going through stretch but apart from a few hairs from the calyx on the nodes, her bud sites do not show any signs of flower. Ive taken another 'auto' in the past to 70 days before having to flip her, just thinking this maybe this is a little deja vu. How long do you all leave it before you have to flip an auto because she wouldnt flower?

    Little beatch eh .

    Supercrop her . Snap them branches . Tie her back and spread her out . Let her bounce back a few days and flip . Or do all that and flip now .

    Not sure if im confident enough yet to supercrop but after a couple more grows i might give it a go. Think I'll tie her up to open her up and flip and see how i go.

    I've never grown auto's, but aren't they supposed to flip without any intervention at all? Obviously folks have a lot more experience with auto strains, I'm just curious why you would have to manually flip them. On the other sie of the coin, can auto's be re-vegged?

    Yeah, autos flower by age rather than lighting schedules... but there are quite a few out there that don't do what it says on the packet so you have to either get rid of them or flip them

    Nah, you can't reveg an auto.... or clone it either (The clone is the same age as the mother - see above for age...) Which is a shame as I've had the odd phenotype I'd liked to have experienced again

    What MC said. ^^^ They don't have enough Ruddles in them to flower, so require some assistance.

ID:	373085 Ok, so ive either been really brave or really stupid,(jury is still out!) and decided to supercrop her as well as flip to 12/12. I had no snaps which i suppose is a good thing....First time supercropping so we'll just see how she goes. It's a 80x80x180 tent with an ISH 150 Pro light. Fingers fkn crossed people.....
