Where have all the pistils gone?

[GuitboxTom]

This... these 2 plants have been trouble since the day I (stupidly) decided to put them both in one 4gal pot. They had trouble at the onset of flowering. I put them out in the garden for some sun therapy. They took off and flowered OK. Then after I made room inside the grow room I put it back inside... I know, should have left it outside! Well now it seems about a week or so till harvest and I don’t know where the pistils have gone. I thought I had some thripe damage. So, last week I trimmed the damage and treated with peroxide/soap spray and DE. When I took the pics today I believe I saw some web strands...spider mites? There are only a few white pistils on some new growth since the DE treatment. Any one ever noticed pistils evaporating into thin air? Not tuning orange and curling in, but gone!? I hope she makes it another week or 2. Flushing now.

Is it photo and is grow room on 12/12 lighting? It looks like it is revegging to me.

NL auto on12/12. 4 of them been in the dirt since 6/7. That’s 14 weeks. Trying to get on with it. Flipped them to 12/12 @ 4weeks ago.

Review this, it may get you going.

[GuitboxTom]

Thanks Catfish22. I realize the difference but 14 -15 weeks for an auto supposed to be done in 10-12?

 

[Catfish22]

But did you read it?

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Who taught you to give auto flowers lighting at 12/12 ? No wonder it's looking the way it is.

 

[Rwise]

The breeder tells us 10-12 weeks, what we see is closer to 14-16 weeks or more.
I also agree it looks like reveg and fox-tailing. IF it is reveg it is not an auto.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

The plant was grown on 12/12 it's a auto it had wrong lightings for too long.

Pistils disappeared on my dwarf NL auto

 

[GuitboxTom]

Yes, thanks Puglover1, I had 6 that seemed to be dwarfs. Also every one of them look entirely different. They my yield @ 1-2 Oz each, but some of that low yield is my own f-ups for sure. But other reviewers questioned (auto vs. photo) re. this NL strain on the i49 website .
But re-veg after going to 12/12 (in order to get the to finish a bit sooner)? FYI most (4) of them did seem to respond to the flip by growing and making more bud. But that was with the lights moved down to @ 12-14”. Rwise says 14-16weeks ... thanks, OK then, time to toke n’chill till amber lights appear.

I'm shocked I-49 sent you any seeds at all. All they did for me was steal my money!

 

[Puglover1]

GuitboxTom My seeds were Seedsman freebies: NL & Lemon, autos, because my 3 gelato auto seeds were duds. My second grow, first autos. They were so tight-noded I could hardly do anything with them to train or separate for light access. They flowered early. I harvested the Lemon in three sessions so the underneath buds could mature. The NL dwarf was 4 inches tall and weighed 1/8th oz dried, I smoked it in 24 hours and I don't think I got high. Here's that plant, chopped whole, it was done growing. Things seemed to go south after I removed two large fan leaves on top. The top leaves I chopped, and the other NL are also pictured. My cat chewed on the bigger NL when it was young.

i49 did OK by me. 2 out of 8 didn’t come up and they sent me 4 replacement seeds quickly when I notified them. Can’t complain about that. Now it seems seedsman has a much better selection of higher CBD and 1:1 strains. So(from seedsman), I have 3 germinated and in 4”pots under an LED. 1. cream and cheese, 1. Black Sugar, 1 lemon auto. Hoping to avoid the mistakes of the last indoor grow which is now awaiting harvest.
Hey Puglover1, I guess I’ll have to call my plants stunted, not real dwarfs compared to those cute buggers. I very much appreciate your sharing. I think there is much to be learned from each plant grown. Thanks.

 

[GuitboxTom]

Hey there Puglover1, here are pics of my 3 pots. Although all are stunted NL autos.
One seems quite normal, with dense buds showing a little purple, the second one looks OK. All the leaves are real small. It has pretty dense buds showing a bit more purple. The third pot has the 2 sickly ones, that seemed to be trying to reveg, no purple buds, with new bud growth which is encouraging, since the trichomes 10 %clear, 60%cloudy, @25%white with only very few amber. Rwise seems to know his stuff cause here we are at week 15 and 1or2 more to go.

 

[Puglover1]

Rwise definitely knows his stuff. You have some nice chunky buds, and pistils. Thinking back, I started my autos on 24/0 then switched to 18/6 so that they had 'rest' time. Maybe that stunted mine?
