How do you flower a mother?

[Fel425]

Sometimes you have to force the flowering yourself with autoflower even though they're ment to do it themselves

How do I do that ?

You said they aren't flowering so if you bought autos, then you most likely have photoperiod.

This was so much easier last year... lol

 

[Fel425]

That would make it photo period

So they are outdoor that basically means wait till October when the days get shorter and hope they bud lol cool...

Ya they do. Not sure why. Just cause you watch it doesn't mean you need to follow it. Same thing here. If some joker is giving out bad advice, you don't have to take it. You pick and choose which things sound logical to you then test. I've been watching Bill Ward for his plant training techniques. He sure looks like he knows what hes doing.

I go to look up something specific. Whatever it is I’m doing. Mainlining videos, LST videos, etc.

Unless you have a light for indoor, yup. But they should start budding in Sept.

Or find a way to put them into complete darkness for 12 hours a day.

Moving full grown plants that are budding is a night mare lol

Also a fair point... maybe patience is the answer

No, they're still autoflower but for some mad reason you have to force them, i know the difference between photos and autos, must be a genetic trait or some shit they need to sort out, if you google it you'll see what i mean

Auto flowers aren't magic or anything. Its just ruderalis genetics that have been bred into normal strains to get them to flower regardless of light schedule. Sometimes the crosses are unstable and it leans more towards the non ruderalis genes and therefore would still be a photo in my opinion.

Put a barrel over it for 14 hrs, then remove for 10. Stay on that until some hairs show, it should keep flowering after it starts.
