So theres grow, actually a second grow ever...4 of the plants are dreamy...under about 1500 watts light in 5 gallon dwc buckets...one harvestest and dryinh another about a week away and two others are about 3 weeks away...beauties...all are 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 feet tall. Except the two plants that are 6 and 7 feet tall!@...still not flowering...starting to look like trees! These are all auto northern lights... What do i do to make these monsters bloom? Ive been feeding them either just water or water with bloom nutes for weeks...im like 13 weeks into my grow...everything has been more than expected but how do i make these monsters bloom?

Autos bloom when they decide too. The only real way to accelerate the flowering mark, is restrictive potting You can’t make an auto bloom no matter what you do essentially Just give it time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of my Critical Purple was suppose to be an auto, 3 month veg and I flipped her into 12/12 with my clones and show flowered. She is a small bush, but smells fruity.
Kinda scared of taking pics but even the bottom side branches have risen up to 6 feet....its in a 5 gallon bucket and stands almost 2 feet higher than me and im 6'4....its got a wide spread, not super bushy but takes up room....the 6 footer looks almost like a christmas tree on the top 3-4 feet and loses shape at the bottom...nice and bushy..thicker stems than even the 7 footer.....i gotta say, when i started this i expected about 6 ounces total from 6 plants...this has me excited.

I mean they arent dying or anything..the are still growing...i was just hoping honestly there was a trick to make the bloom without switching them to 12/12...got 4 others in full flower, some almost done...gonna have to wait till they are completely done and i already started bending the 7 footer lightly with yarn pulling it a bit to the side...getting to close to ceiling lights....gonna be awefully difficult to maintain by the time i can switch to 12/12 and try to make it flower that way.

There is no trick to flowering. Auto's will flower automaticly regardless of light scheduel and photos require you to reduce the hours of light, 12/12 being the standard. If your plant is an auto, it'll flower when it matures to a geneticly predetermined point. Some stress can delay flower for a week or two, but that's it. Changing your light cycle will only stress your plant out and reduce the quality and quantity of your yield. That said, if I understand correctly, these are all auto northern lights planted at the same time. If you're 13 weeks in and already harvesting some of your plants, but these two are showing no signs of flower, then I'd say you have a couple of photoperiod plants. Could be bad genetics or just a screw up at the packaging facility. The only way to get a photo to flower is to reduce the light. If you don't have a seperate place you can change their light cycle, I'd just wait untill the rest of your autos finish and flip the tent to 12/12. In the mean time, read up on topping, LST, supercropping and SCROG. Growweedeasy.com is a great source of information. You can use this extra time to train those tall plants into shorter, wider, more managable plants that will give you a great harvest in the end.
So there they are, just waiting on them...those arent my only lights btw..got a couple 500 watt hid and some cfl side lighting. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
Yikes...its gonna be weeks before i can even flip them...what are some options? Just chop the tree at the top? Too late to start bending much im guessing. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
It's not too late to start bending and training. Read up on LST, supercropping and SCROG. Growweedeasy.com. Don't be afraid to get a little rough, they can take it. And it sounds like you have plenty of time for recovery if you do accidentally snap where you meant to bend
Look's like you have a few problems going on there mate. Top left one has a Potassium deficiency, and by the look's of the one in Flower in the Bottom Right look's like Botrytis, but the picture is blurry there so i could be wrong. Anyway best of luck...
Those two aren't autos there's been a breeding cock up or seed mix up. No auto is going to go on for that long without flowering. I would cut them both down to a reasonable height and then allow to carry on growing while you finish the autos. Then switch to 12/12 to flower them. It might be hard to prune them down so hard but you're better off because they are going to run out of room by the time the autos have finished
Hards and understatement lol...i went to smoke and consider on it...now im stuck between the options of doing what you said or raising the whole roof. I dont wanna hurt muh babbies Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
They'll double in height from when you switch to 12/12. How much can you raise the roof by? You could LST (bending it over and tying it down) or supercrop (crush and fold the main stem over) but are you going to have the room even then?
Lol this pretty overwhelming..i started to tie them over...cant bendem too much at once cus the net pot kind lifts out..ill look into super cropping....i really hope i pull more than the 2 ounces i got off the first....like id be happy with 2 ounces but its about to be getting hot and the whole reason i started in november was to be done by now.
