So we've got 5 autos going and one regular (Northern Lights x 3, Bio-Diesel x 1, Skunk Mass x 1 Belladonna , and another strain called 'Okra'. It was one the free seeds my friend received from from Attitude Seed Bank. Strangely, I have been unable to find any info on this 'Okra' strain. It looks to be very indica with really broad leaves and small stature. All of them are autoflowering except for the 'Okra'. Unfortunately, we were pretty far along when we realized 'Okra' was not an autoflower. So we basically figured let it grow and we'd deal with it further into the grow.
For the vegatative stage I let the 2 T5 CFL's go 24/0 in the grow tent. So far everything looks great and the autos are about a week into flowering (some are further along than others). See pics below. Now we are left with 'Okra' still in its vegetative state. I'm aware that to induce flowering it needs the 12/12 photoperiod. I could set it at 12/12 and just see how it turns out but, from what I've read, this can and will severely impact yield and potency on the 5 auto's. It doesn't really make sense to sacrifice the potential harvest of the 5 auto's for the single 'Okra' plant.
As it stands, I've thought of some options...Oh, keep in mind that I have one small-ish grow tent
- maintain vegetative state on 'Okra' and use as a mother plant for clones.
- move 'okra' back and forth from grow tent to dark closet adhering to the 12/12 light schedule while the 5
Autoflower's stay under the 20/4 for the remainder of their life cycle.
- keep all plants on 12/12 and see how it goes.
what do you guys think? Are there other options that I'm not aware of?
