I bought this super skunk from bonza seeds. Auto flowering obviously, and the site says its supposed to be ready to harvest seed to finish in 80 days. And I was told they flower at 30 days... What do I do? It's still growing so should I let it go? How long should I wait? Will 12/12 work to force flowering?

Lights are 3 55w warm spectrum cfl and for the past two weeks I've put two 42w cool bulbs in. I know warm is for flowering but all i had was those bulbs after I already spent the money, and the plant seemed to be growing fine. My soil is miracle grow, my temp is 75-83 humidity 20-35

not to mention sometimes autoflowers are avertised as such and arent or a mistake was made, there are many other probabilities, if i were you i would go down to 18 and 6 or 12 and 12 and see what happebs, good luck friend

Well, if it's an auto and it hasn't started flowering at day 50 something is not right. maybe the company you got them from messed up your order and gave you photo period seeds?

12 12 will screw an auto dude. 18-6 or 20-4 is best. I had one take 3 months to start budding first. various traits will pop up in different strands. wait it out and see what happens. or take a cutting and put it under 12 12 and see what happens

Throw it some 1/4 strength bloom nutrients and back off on the lights about 6 hours. It would help I think. Good Luck:

It's either gonna auto or not. So if you are gonna let it go then let it go and do its thing. If hyou are gonna flip it then flip it, but dont try to rush it if you think its an auto.

Miracle grow also has a high level of nitrogen in the soil but not much potassium which is what encourages plants in flower, most people who are growing in mg get better results by increasing their flower nutrients or using one specific to this purpose. If your only using an a+b mix the nutrients are probably not encouraging the flip to flower.

I'd recommend you flip your nutrient schedule at 30 days in future and you can as stated above also flip the light schedule to 20/4, these two changes will increase the plants genetics to start flowering.

good luck

Me personally I'd just let it grow, you can't always believe the advertising! I bought some Calvin Klein underwear but it didn't make me look like David Beckham!!

Your in Miracle grow which has a time released nitrogen high mix. This means the soil is feeding this plant massive nitrogen to grow its leaves and stalks nice and big but on the other hand it makes the plant not want to bllom as your not dropping the nitrogen and upping the PK side of the nutes which trigger the flower time. basically your soil is fighting the plants natural tendency to want to auto flower.

It's not a bad thing though, the more you can veg your plant the bigger it gets, equaling more buds when it does flower. Which in turn means more end product!

What light schedule is it on currently? Everyone gave you good advice about the hours ( should 18 + 6 or 20+ 4)
and, whatever you do, do not put too much faith in the advertising. To me, its not just false advertising its just
an outright lie most of the time, and can mess the grower up if they pay attention to things like when a plant will
flower automatically. It is sort of like saying exactly a month from today it will rain. Yes, it will probably rain but
exactly one month from today? Now I have trouble believing that. Get it? These seedbanks just want you to keep
buying their shit half the time. Watch out.

The girls look good though!
