Been growing these autoflowers for about 44 days now and they are already flowering? how do i keep them in the vegetation stage for a long period of time or is it normal for them to flower this early ?
Autos flower when THEY are ready...........day 44 huh?.........thats ACTUALLY a bit "long" for an auto.........in my experience........most of mine start flowering by day 35
Mine started to flowering around day 35 as well, but lots of things i've read and watched show autoflowers flowering at day 65 or more, and then some harvest at day 95 or later
Well, i am not sure where you were reading that........but I have grown many autos.......and that statement is simply NOT TRUE from MY experience......
sure but you just asked you that you weren't sure where i read that.. .so i just thought i would show you for an explanation or something, those plants flowered around day 60 and were done around day 120, thats where i saw it and also read it on a couple other sites that i can link.
@Kronik352 is correct. you don't, thats the reason you bought auto flower seeds. get some photos next time if you want more control
Mine started flowering at day 21.. the wrong fucking flowers mind. But still flowering all the same Sent from my SM-G935F using Grasscity Forum mobile app
the amount of veg time an auto has is determined by genetics my sour crack (a speed auto) started to flower at day 20.
44 days is a long veg for autos If any I've ever grown went that long i would think something was wrong 27-35 days is a normal veg time for any i have grown Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
Time to flower and harvest will vary wildly depending on what plant fucked a ruderalis to make your seeds. And even assuming virtually identical genetics, a seed that grows up with with 24-hour light cycles at 2000 lumens will mature in fewer days than one that experiences 16-hours at 1500.
Normally they flower at 2-4 weeks you've got awhile to go good luck Sent from my Alcatel_5059R using Tapatalk
If auto's avg time to flower is about 30 days, what's the advantage over just flipping lights to 12/12 with photo's after 30 days?
my guess would be that you can get strains with longer flowering times to finish faster and larger than if you were to try a photo.
