    Are my auto seeds fake? It's been 7 weeks and still veg.

    It's my first grow and maybe I need to be more patient but I'm starting to be concerned that maybe my Northern Light auto seeds I got are really photo. I have attached some photos, am I still in veg? I have been following the week 3 nutrient schedule for a 250W auto on this site and repeating it over and over since I don't see any pistils.

    What do you think? Patience or treat this plant like a photo?

    There are some autos that take 8 weeks to start flowering, what were the breeder specs? I would give them another week, then reduce the lights to 12/12.

      According to the site "its flowering cycle completed in 55 - 60 days, following a 2 - 4 week vegetative growth period" so I am about 2-3x past that. I'll try changing the light. I wanted to avoid all that but what I really want is some bud.

        Seed sales houses do make mistakes, if you contact them they may replace them.

                I guess a pre flower is exactly what it sounds like? It's about to flower soon and I should just wait?

                woovygroovy Yes, I found a few preflowers in two of your pictures, girls. It's fun to watch how it all works on your first grow. Just keep your ladies happy. Post pics as they start growing taller. Enjoy.

              The last 4 autos I ran went about 5-6 weeks in veg depending on when you count and like 80-90 days from when I wet the seed. Those are both much longer than the reputable breeder suggested. They were mainly sativas
              if they are slow autos that likely means they will grow bigger , just like photos , more time in veg = bigger plant

                I've only done one grow so far, but it was a auto and it took 7 weeks to start flowering. I harvested 3.5oz. Like Smallgrow said, bigger plant = bigger harvest, so don't worry even though you are impatient.

                Will you post with results? I wanna know what happens.
