[AUTO] Growing for MONTHS - No Buds but Amber Trichomes - [PICS] - Should I Bin it?

[Effexion]

OK, I have been meaning to make this post for a while but my ISP blocked the forum . Now I have a VPN, so I can finally ask.

My Jack Herer auto has been growing since December (I think) and has been in the flowering stages for what seems like an eternity. A lot of the trichomes have already turned amber without any real buds showing. What I do have is plenty of tiny buds with crystals - but they don't seem to be doing anything. I am not sure if I should keep at it or give it away as the electricity costs are sky-high of late (cheers, Putin).

I am using BioBizz soil and BioBizz Bloom and Grow neuts. I water the plant whenever it's dry with about 2 - 3 liters of neut mix. The lamp I am using should be substantial enough too. I just don't want to keep paying through the nose to provide light for nothing to happen. Any advice would be awesome. I've attached photos (sorry, my macro lens isn't the greatest). I'm assuming the yellowing in the leaves indicates neut burn, so what should I do, other than lowering neuts? Is it worth carrying on?

Your auto might not be an auto, if I was you I would switch my light cycle to 12/12 and give it a couple weeks to see if it starts to flower.

That's the plants calyx in pictures and not buds.
You sure that's an auto? Doesn't look like a plant in flower especially since December?

I agree with the assumption that its more than likely a photo. What light you using bud?

Hey!

Thats weird. Like Deku said it might be an photo plant. If you should deside to swap to 12/12 make sure the room is totally dark. I see a washer in the back in the picture. Even leds from equipment must be gone.

1 ting is for sure. If she is an photo she will be 1 hell of a big girl

Good luck!

We have a thread around here entitled did your autoflower not flower. Sadly with some really poor seed companies it's not at all unusual to have an auto that is actually a photo. I think I would definitely bin it and start over with new seeds. You could switch it to 12/12 and flower it that way, but a lot of the times a set up the works for autos doesn't work so great for photos.

Cheers everyone. I will switch to a 12/12 and if that doesn't work I'll find someone that can grow it and give me some in return.
