Auto flowers not flowering

Ok I have an issue with my autos from i49 not flowering. I had 4 different strains. The other two strains vegged, flowered and was ready to harvest in like two months. I planted these all at the same. Which was October 22. These other two strains, 4 plants in total are 3ft tall and I need them to flip. However I cannot try the 12/12 bc I have two young photos in the same tent. The two strains are white rhino and northern lights. Any help would help.

My 2 ¢ .....
Pretty sure seeds were mispackaged or swapped. So you need to FORCE FLOWER them under 12/12.
Treat them like regs ... which I am thinking they are. Hell maybe take some clones as a prize.

1. Pull vegging plants / LST them , Defol .
Flip them ....

2. 2 young ones .... can be run under same but will be like a SOG grow. ( nothing wrong with that )
Those also can be trained .


I am saying look at the bulk of your grow and run with that.

I would also maybe ( after training ) bring plants a little closer together PLUS bring panels closer together to get better light overlap then you better off. Defol will help getting light a bit lower into canopy.

So my thought was definitely screw the two youngs ones, especially since I’m 3 months into the four. I haven’t touched them for a while as far as defoliating bc I have read it will stress and cause them to prolong not flowering so the last few weeks I haven’t touched them. What is the light spacing doing? I can put all 4 on one side, bring the two lights closer to the one and then put my other two on the other side. This is what you are saying? How much do I defoliate? A lot? Will it matter if I scrog or not? I have one, just didn’t know. This is my first grow lol i went big cause I wasn’t messing around. The other two strains we’re definitely autos and I harvested them after two months. Thank you for taking time to respond bc ive definitely been in need. If you have any other advise or tips feel free

Disappointed with i49 also. Going on 9 weeks with gorilla glue just won’t flower. Have switched to 12-12 for last resort.
Beautiful healthy plants continue to grow.

Any headway with the 12/12? I wasn’t impressed with the other two strains from them which were white widow/crystal meth, and pineapple. I only got 2 ounces from all four, one of them only grew like 11 inches. These ones are happy, beautiful and big but if I can’t get them to flip soon I will run out of room. Only have a 6 foot tall tent so when the flip I’m gonna be pushing it. If you feel like it maybe keep me updated on yours? Best of luck to you though

I forgot to mention I went with North Atlantic seed company. Timely shipping, very nice packaging, plus they gave me two extra seeds that were nicely packaged and labeled. Haven’t started them bc I’m still dealing with these and just don’t have the room yet

Not the end of the world.
Just lost energy, light nukes and time.
With successful grows before I took a chance with i49, and lost 9 weeks of work.
A lesson well learned

I found out they are regs, they are feminized but didn’t realize that’s what I wound up buying. . Gonna flip them tomorrow night after defoliating

I found out what I ordered were two sets of autos and two photo fems, so that’s at least good news
