HELP! I need your knowledge of the flowering!

[LaVince]

I'm growing Northern Lights auto-flowering. (hydroponics)

It's been growing for five weeks and it doesn't bloom.

We're giving them 18/6 cycles of light.
Do I have to give light at 12/12, if I want auto-flowering to flower?

Help me!

[Nartak]

Hey buddy,which genetics specifically are you growing? How much light is it getting?
You shouldn't have to use 12/12 on any auto as long as it's stable ...

[LaVince]

Nartak Light is in use of 250W light bulbs and LED 15W 2.
Do I have to pay 18/6 cycles after the flowers bloom?

[Nartak]

Pay? Hah Yes!Autoflowers go on 18/6 or 20/4 from seed till harvest.If it is not an autoflower you initiate flowering by switching to 12/12.

I run my lights 24-7 for autos, but 20-4, is ok too. More light is better, imo.
I've grown a few NLight autos, before, but my seeds came from Nirvana, where did you get your seeds ?
A couple of mine got pretty big too.
Sounds like you might have a photo by mistake, again where did you get your seeds ? And can you post a picture of them ?

It's been five weeks since I grew up.
I uploaded the picture.
When will the flowers bloom?

[LaVince]

[D.A.A.S.69]

If they were autos, they should have already started. By now, most do anyway by day 35.
If you put them on 12-12, in a week or 10days, they will start to flower.

D.A.A.S.69 Even though it's auto-flowering, do I have to change the period of light to 12-12?

[Nartak]

LaVince hey man what lights do you have? Just switch them to 12/12 and you will be fine!You are going to battle stretch which will almost double them in size so switch as soon as possible

[LaVince]

Nartak Even though it's auto-flowering, do I have to change the period of light to 12-12?
I use 250w light bulbs and 30W LED bulbs.

[LaVince]

Is that a flower like that white thread?
If it's auto-flowering and it blooms, should I change the period of light to 12-12??

If it starts flowering in a day or two without changing your light schedule, it's an autoflower,
If not its a photo, and needs to be on 12-12.
Don't change anything if she starts flowering, your pictures, I can't see that well, my eyes are
old, but that looks like pre-flowers,
GoodLuck LaVince

[Nartak]

Seems like preflowers,as per DAAS's instructions,wait a couple days then repost for pistills,then we flip

[madmucka]

Hey madmucka,thats a nice CK with a sweet main cola..You know you can get more out of the plant and your gear all together right? Check Low Stress Training and Fluxing/manifold/mainline . If these 2 methods seem a bit too much you can always read Topping Guides and still get amazing results compared to a normal/untrained plant!!

madmucka, Congratulations, that is a fine
specimen, indeed.
Great job.!!
Happy Smoking, !!
