    Default Auto flowers not flowering?

    So I bought several auto flower strains. I've been planting a seed every week to 10 days and these 3 gorilla glue that I bought were the 1st ones that I planted. They are now entering week 7 and show absolutely 0 signs of flowering. All of the younger plants are in full blown flower. There's also a light green tint on 2 of these plants which seems odd to me. I'm using roots organic soil along with their dry amendment lineup so I'm going to say a safe assumption to make is it's nothing to do with soil or nutrients because all the other plants are thriving. They also seem to be at a standstill as far as growth goes. The pictures I included are about 8 days old and the only difference in them is that all of the other plants around them are significantly bigger now. The plants I am referring to are the ones in the middle and the plant that is in the front in the middle. I'm wondering if I should transfer these gals into 7 gallon pots and just treat them as photoperiod plants And break out the tent? Or do you guys think I should just throw them out.

    And just on a side note this picture was taken literally about 2 minutes after the light flipped on so the drooping leaves are a direct cause of that because within about 15 minutes all of those leaves perk right up every time

    a better question do you wanna get your tent out and run 2 spaces to flower those 3 plants under 12/12?
    keep in mind they will double in size if they are photoperiod plants

    would you be happy binning those 3??

    So breaking out the tent wouldn't really be an issue it would be kind of frustrating because I just remodeled that room or that section of the room so I wouldn't have to use a tent at all. My real main concern would be I'm wondering if these plants would actually produce quality buds since the genetics seem to be a little bit wonky. Lol Sorry I meant to QUOTE reply monster energies reply not my own haha

    of course you can flower them and they will produce buds, but it wont be optimal especially after a 7 week veg
    that is if rhere was a mix up and they are photos and not autos,


    your time/money/effort, totally your call if you wanna run those 3x on 12/12 whilst running the other 4 autos

    Well I know there gonna produce buds no matter what if I decide to flip...im just wondering if they will still produce quality buds or do you think they will produce larfy low quality smoke? I'm just trying to avoid growing a plant that will let me down in the end.

    Hi M E, could you elaborate on this please? I’ve not heard of an optimal amount of veg time. I’ve always worked on the basis that if you can, it’s best to wait until your plants reach sexual maturity, i.e showing pre flowers and staggered nodes, before flipping to 12/12 and that is usually 6 to 7 weeks at least.

    Sorry for the hijack Monty.

    i've vegged for 6-7 weeks before, that always includes topping/lst/hst or some form of other training then lollipoping my girls because they are already too far from my light source at 6 weeks veg without training,
    if i veg long i end up with only 1/2 a plant that's actually getting enough light

    when i say ''optimal'' i am referring to the light & the inverse square law,

    hope that helps explain what i was/am referring to Vlad

    that's more down to you and if you train wanna your girls, when you do induce flower if they are infact photo period plants they will double in size and probably height,
    again its more your choice than mine, if you wanna put in the time or just stick with the 4x autos you also have that are actually flowering like normal
