Flowering Already? *Pics*
- Thread starter GrowNub
- Start date
I didn't think so, and I planted late April, they are in a spot where they get plenty of direct sunshine. It looks like they have stopped growing. 6", 9" and about 17".
Thanks for any help!

Autoflowering is a scam, they don't really auto flower, they just show sex earlier then most strains. this is for a fact people! look it up
Yep, this happened to me last year as well and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. The clones grow right away then just stop about a month later and start flowering. Last year, I put them out in July, this year April. They are very healthy, just really small. The 2 Indicas are less than a foot and the trainwreck is about a foot and a half.
They are tiny, Bonsai versions of plants! Argh!
Thanks again for the help!

Wrong, Cannabis sativa var. spondanea aka. cannabis ruderalis is a strain of cannabis that does not flower with variations in its photoperiod. Instead it starts to flower after a few weeks of growth. In my experience if you give them 24hrs light you can veg them a little longer and get larger overall plants. But under 18hrs light they will start to flower almost right away.

Yea ok well it doesn't actually Automatically flower to finish, They should call them AutoStarting Strains, You still have to induce a light change man. Auto means auto basically no matter what the conditions. It's just a way for the Seedbanks to sell more seeds. I think the term is Propaganda, or perhaps a Marketing Strategy for their Product. But Autoflower start to finish........Try it and see if it Automatically flowers without changing the lights. Sorry for being a realist but that name is just straight contradictory.

Clones flower early because genetically they are as old as the mother they were cut from.

Many grow journals in the autoflower thread would disagree with you. I've just started my first ever grow, lowlife auto ak47's (they sprouted yesterday). Got them on 20/4 light cycle at the moment, and my research has lead me to believe that they should stay on that for the duration of their life. Having read your post however I am now prepared for that maybe to not be the case. What, in your experience should the light cycle be changed to? Got any pics?
And to the author of the thread - not saying that your plants dont have maybe some ruderalis in them, however, my research into those plants has suggested that cloning them is far from practical with the plants having such a short life cycle. So id say that probably isnt what's going on here. Peace.

Buy some AUTO seeds and try them out before you spread bad info around.
Plant a short rider, put it under 20 hours light and before 30 days are up you will be able to sex it and 70 days or so you will be able to harvest it.
An auto flowering strain does not need to be induced to flower and will do it under any light cycle.

Attached is a picture of a clone I took of a ruderallis crossed strain. The mother was grown from seed under 24hrs light and is about 2.5' tall, just now starting to build her flowers with 18 hrs light. The clone was taken about 3-4 weeks ago and has been under 24hrs light its entire life from seed to cutting then clone. Notice, it too is now flowering just like its mother.
This is the first time I have ever cloned one, so this is just what I have learned so far.
