So looking on Herbies page it's kinda of hard to read. What is "flowering time"? That when it flowers or that's when it's done? For instance my vision NL says. "Flowering time: 56 days". Thanks!
"Flowering time"

My general understanding is that they use "flower time" as the length of time it takes once going to a 12/12 light cycle. As a new grower, this may be a misunderstanding that I have though. One thing I have heard a lot though is that the "flowering times" advertise tend to be a week or more short, more so used as marketing tool. Only true way to know when your buds are ready are by checking the trichs. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

But I have an auto. So I'm really confused on how to calculate this lol. I'm on day 36 and no signs of flowering

Well in that case I'm not sure. With an Auto one would almost assume its from seed to harvest, but I hear a lot of "Autos" taking as long as photoperiod. I currently am running 3 photo and 1 auto. According to Herbies my auto should take about 8 weeks from germination to harvest, however I am past the 4 week mark and am JUST starting to see the first pistols. Doubt it'll take less then another 7-8 before I can harvest

This was how Herbies defined that times for my Auto. Seems to me the 8 weeks is much more likely after you see pistols. Thinking @THCBrain is probably onto something with his statement.

Any idea what may be going on then? You have been following my grow!
you know what my girls look like! Need to get more pics up but they are really growing up!!Also one of my NYCDiesel seedlings died. I just pulled her from the pot.....the root was all dried up. Fuck. Lol. Guess I should have watered the FF it went into before hand lol. I thought it was moist enough.

Day 36 idk I guess if no signs of flower show in the next few days idk. The main colas seem to be fattening and have a ton of little things coming up but they all look like leaves and not pistols. Then again my plants are from 7-9in high.

Maybe not a true Auto as it was described. tI've had friends using autos and for whatever reason it took them switching the lights to 12/12 to get it to flower. Not sure this is the case but if you don't start seeing signs of flowering within a time frame your comfortable with, you can always try switching the lights and see if it makes a difference.

Your over complicating things!
I haven't grown autos I have a ton of auto seeds just don't like them as much as photos.
The site where you got the seeds from should tell you how long it takes! Go on google and search for growing autos that will be able to tell you what your doing!
If it was mine I would just leave it in the corner and focus on another plant.

All my others are just boring seedlings lol. But I'm going to be putting in 2 seeds here soon. Waiting for my order to show up! Got a ton of new Shit coming. I might even throw another plant out in the backyard. I have a dinafem OG Kush going in the back yard. Super small still....maybe I will tinker with that one a little.

You're looking at roughly 90 days from start to finish with autos. Give or take a week.
And all this "switch the lights over to trigger flowering" That's what you do with photo plants. If it takes switching the light cycle it just means you purchased genetics that aren't stable. Or the auto trait that comes from it's ruderalis (hemp) genes isn't stable. I had this issue with KC Brains KC45 autos that were on the market a few years back. 10/10 were photoperiod and so were dozens of their offspring that were planted the following year. Not an auto among them. Still damn good smoke though.
Since you mentioned Herbies OP I can't make any comments about getting them from a shady source or site.
What breeder is the NL from?

Is right about his statement.
It should be any day now. The autos I've grown vegged for a good 4-5 weeks before they started stretching and spitting off pistils.

There are rare occasions when the auto flower gene is recessed in a seed, I am growing a greenhouse ww auto freebie right now, it was in my veg under 18/6 for 6 weeks and never even threw pistils, put it in the flower room and 2 weeks later at the breeders supposed finish time it was finally in flower, now I've been following your grow as well and don't think this is your issue, I feel like monkey grinder has this one nailed down, just give her time and realise those breeder time frames are based on their average times with the strain ran in their grow areas, not yours, environment has a lot to do with the growth cycle

They are stretching like no other about .25in a day or more. so hopefully soon! If its before the 1st im looking at june 25th as my 65th "flowering" day.
I also got the NL from Vision seeds.

Thanks man! Yeah Ill be ordering 2 hydrogrow 300watt LED's to add and get rid of the t5 florecent. unless I expand my grow space. I have great luck with hydrogrow so far! I was going to choke up the $250 for a platinum led but that is only enough for the 150watt grow light lol. So budget grows here I come! LOL.
