Title says it all, how long does it take for an auto flower to start flowering? In case type of plant matters, question regards Dinafem Auto White Widow.


Thanks to all.

Depends on genetics. Mostly the influence of the Ruderalis. I have had some autostrains flower in the second week of vegetation. recently I had an autoflower from Barney's farm their Auto Blue Mammoth that didnt auto until I switched photoperiod to 12/12 and in a day it started to bud.

So if you were growing an auto flower and after 5 weeks it still hasn't started to flower, should you put it under a 12/12 light cycle?

5 or 6 weeks is right about the time that they should start to flower.. and yes, i have heard of some auto's not flowering automatically, and needing to be changed to 12 / 12 to induce flowering..

i'd wait another week or two and if still nothing, try putting it under 12 / 12 and see what happens than.. :D

low light conditions make them run longer ......... and take longer to go through the stages......... i am assuming your conditions are not comparable to the breeders...... usually one would post the conditions of the grow in the OP
