If I’m not mistaken AK is a notoriously slow finisher
Would waiting a week be to long what would suggest

I had to put my last auto in 12/12 lighting for about a week for it to flower....then I moved it back into 18/6 and was good to go.
Would now be good or wait a few days I'm worried about if I have enough time to get decent mature buds

No need....just sometimes they can be overlooked thinking it's not flowering when it is in preflower starting...Just give it a few more days and go from there. If you don't see anything in the next few days....throw it under less lighting to induce flower.
Cheers pal put me at ease just didn't want to wait to long and pay for it at the end as in mature buds thanks again

So just to be clear then the good question was if flowering is delayed in an auto flower, does the clock keep "ticking" and would you lose flowering time?
Wears the help in that mate

Clarifying the question.
One way to think of it is, why wont it start flowering?
The other way is, if the flowering is delayed for some reason, will it have enough time to flower?
Interesting Qs unique to an autoflower. I do not know the answers, so I was clarifying what the question(s) were.
Ok great stuff you sound keen am I rite

The clock only applies to when they switch from veg to flower. Flowering takes as long as it takes.
You sure you didnt accidentally order photoperiod seed?
Ok thanks sorry if sounded rude on last reply

No problem. It could easily seem like i was ignoring you but i realized the question really had 2 parts. I may believe i "know" flowering is a process that has a set timeframe but i never considered how a delayed autoflower might handle it. So your question helped me learn something and think about another thing i didnt know for sure.
If an autoflower takes 10 weeks from start to finish and its already at week 5 no flower...damn is it going to take longer or will it not finish? Now i know!
Cheers my brother (american for mate, lol!)
No probs I still dont know for sure but someone else said the clock starts ticking once it starts flowering .

See that is what im saying.
I want you to know 100% the answer.
I saw that reply and assume it's right...it may say 70 days or 100 days but until it starts flowering, it has however many flowering days it needs.
If that isnt right, someone please say so!
