Why arent my preflowers turning to Buds?

Hey guys,

So I am growing my autoflowers aeroponically as I've done in the past. with great results, Im just getting a bit worried that it isnt budding at all. I use fox farm nutes and 175w of CFL 2500k warm in my box for two plants.

I think the front plant is so massive and ridiculous its absorbing all the light and doesn't seem to be doing anything with it. In the past at about 4 weeks I get pre flowers, then harvest prime bud at around 11 weeks.
I see no sign of actual bud, just pre flowers?

Is this normal or has the time come and gone? Should I just cut those two down and start again with a different setup and a larger res?

WHATS THE PROBLEM, BUD YOU FUCKERSSSS!!!!!

I just don't want to waste too much energy on plants that wont produce. Should I just cut them down and say fuck it? I have 5 outdoor plants that I planted in June 1st theyre beautiful, the indoor ones im just worried about it not producing and being a waste of time/electricity.

THANKS!!!!

Think it should be a 2 plant res. maybe I put them too close together? Just wasnt expecting the jack herer to be so ridiculously bushy and large.

how long since they started growing?

roots look healthy but the burnt leafs make me wonder if you didnt shock it with a nute overdose and it sent it back to veg?
Fuck, its an auto, who really knows?

bump
should i cut em?

Cut em!!!! Wow dude... I'd try reducing the light first they will probably kick to flower easily

Are you 100% sure these are autos? As Kermit says, why don't you try 12/12 just to see if that helps. It shouldn't matter with autos, but it can't hurt. And I think that plant's looking to good just to cut down without trying something.

Good luck!

Can you get jack herer auto's

I see your problem now, its in pic # 2. They aren't liking them Happy Meals your feedin 'em.

I wonder if you could repot them in soil and put them outside with your other plants.

Healthy looking plants and good root systems. You say your under a 175w cfl. IMO, that's not even close enough, but you also say you have done this before, so that makes it weird. I would not cut. Get them out of the kitchen (lol) and put an hps over them and you will see them rock! Good luck. Peace

I would change you lighting time to 12/12,just to test them. If you dont see any flowers in a week or more growth of flowers. CUT THOSE BITCHES....LOL

Sometime auto seed will do weird things like this. They are not very stable. If i were you i would find some nice clones,Just make sure to clean your clone before putting them into the garden or take a little time with regular seeds. You will much happier in the end to have sold plants.
