Critical purple autoflower not flowering

I'm a beginner on my 1st 3 plants all planted the same day. 2 actually did auto n will be ready in 2 weeks. Not familiar with cloning where would I actually make the snip at?

Do you want to put it back in the tent?

You can grab a cup of cool water and start cleaning it up to fit back in the tent before your next feeding. Anything you remove that is longer than 3" I would clean the bottom leaves of and stick in the cup from where you snipped. I'm actually snipping some plants later I can take pictures for you so you can see or you can search the forum. I never have but I know they have tons of threads on cloning tech with detailed info. They have to.

Definitely going 2 look into it. So I should use bottom 2 stems 4 cloning snip from the stalk?

There are a lot of numbers going on here...

Not sure what you mean. I would research cloning on the forum here.

Best of luck Roots

Thanx I just watched one on you tube seemed simple enough.

Nice. Yeah the plant is big.

Would just give it a haircut and maybe fit it back in that tent if you've managed to keep bugs off of it after bringing it out. Since it's not autoflowering it could be something you really like smoking now you can keep it around.

One thing to consider if you do take clones... If it was supposed to be an autoflower and it IS NOT:

There is a chance of a mother plant flowering unintentionally if you keep her for a long time. Happened to a friend and happened to me also multiple times.... That is the recessive auto gene that was trapped, expressing itself. Could be stress related but if it's in good condition then time will be the next.

Peace Roots

I'm actually not going to do any clones yet but I have a patio table with umbrella that I think might work out well I also recently purchased a black out tarp that I'll toss over the umbrella it should work.

I'll have to keep an eye on her. They are in 7 gal square. They seem big for my space. I ran 3 gal my first run and somehow managed not to kill my plants. Despite trying my best This is my 2nd round. 5 gal seems like it will be the sweet spot.

Yes definitely 5 is the best size the Home Depot in my area had no 5 gallon pots left so I had to go with the seven gallon so if she keeps growing she'll have plenty of space.

I also have very small seedlings of the same strain from the same breeder. Made the same mistake buying the same shit. From what I later learned a lot of people run into this problem with their "autos" and they find they need to be switched to 12/12 to bloom them.

I'm going to be growing two of this strain indoors soon, but I plan on switching to 12/12 when they reach about 12" tall.

Next up is Blackberry Auto from Fast Buds

Yeah once I plant the next critical purple I'll most likely switch to 12/12 on week 5. I've been on 12/12 for the last few days hoping she starts flowering soon

Maybe I'll get lucky Found these today while looking her over. Still on 18/6.

She is 22 days old.

Roots1972. Can we get an update ? Mine are doing the same (not flowering). Just wondering how u are doing.

Still not flowering now it's about 39" read on a forum today to keep it under darkness for 48 hours then go to 12/12 and that should do the trick hopefully it'll work keep me informed

I think I may have dodged the bullet. 26 days old. Don't think I'll grow again though. Good luck with her.

Hopefully yours will take off and bloom nicely. I have 4 more critical purple seeds left so I'm gonna give it another chance but if she doesn't start showing signs of flowering by week 5 I'm gonna be pissed but I'll go 12/12 with no hesitation I'm on week 10 and 1 day and still nothing smh

I don't really have the space to go 12/12 unless my other autos go with it I'll stick to trusted genetics I guess. I just used them because they were state side. I got 2 seeds left plus the freebies. I now use North Atlantic Seed Bank. They carry fast buds and ethos.

I’m on week 10..1 day behind you. Funny we basically started the same day. Tallest plant is 29”, super healthy and bushy just no flowers. This is my first grow. I planted Tangerine Dream at the same time and I already harvested and dried it. All last week I switched to 16/8 hoping to kick start it to flower. Starting tonight will go to 12/12. Will update if anything changes

Might have to try them out grab a different strain. They're official never no issues with their seeds?
