Aeroponic Auto Widow Grow Journal

This is my first grow so I'm just looking for some noob info.

Set Up: 3 Gallon homemade aeroponic, 400 watt MH about 2 1/2 feet above plant. FoxFarm vegging nutes, lights 20/4

My plant is about 8 inches tall and looking very healthy and bushy (i believe). I ordered Early Widow seeds from advanced seeds and was told they would flower automatically by now and are supposed to be finished by 8 weeks. I believe that the preflowers are finally just beginning to show at 4 weeks now. I also have alternating nodes along almost the entire main stems.

I dont care at all whether it is an Auto or not, I kind of hope they gave me regular feminized seeds for the hopes of higher yield, but i was wondering if i should switch to 12/12 soon to initiate flowering. I know the plant will get much larger during flowering and I am afraid if i wait too long i will not have the space required for a mature plant.

I always thought auto flowers would start to flower on any light schedule, so I would leave it 20 and 4 now and see what happens in the next few weeks and if nothing maybe switch it to 12 and 12.

I don't know anything about autos, but that is one pretty plant.

Yea, i was very surprised. This is my first grow, but hoping it turns out well. I decided to switch to 12/12 today so i will keep posting pictures

for autos no lower than 18/6

the point of growing autos is that you dont have to reduce to 12/12. 18/6 if u want to let them sleep a little. most autos i have seen wont start packing bud weight till 6 weeks in after the stretch phase of flower.
i am growing a non auto WW at about a week and half of 12/12.
