Like the title says I've been a silly boy, I was lookin at my girls thinkin why arnt they flowering!! Well I've got 5 different strains and some have started where as some havnt, what I could do with knowing is have I upset them as we all know a slightly stressed autoflower is a major problem later in its life.. Or will they start to flower now I've change back to 20/4

It's a non issue. Many growers including myself grow autoflowers under a full 24/0 light schedule that is the beauty of autoflowering plants.

Yep i have read that canna plants are C3 plants which mean they do not need a dark period unless they are photoperiod then they need 12/12 to flower

Thanks for reply but I've defo gotta disagree with you, they are defo effected negatively by this extended light period, maybe my strains arnt fully autos barneys bc and rhino Ryder, what strains Have you got hot buns? These have defo been not stressed but impaired in some way

Can also agree and say it should cause you no issue.

I'll bet its not the 24/0 lights as many people use 24/0 always.... Start off by telling us lights, light height, room temp, humidity, medium used and nutes. Catch us up with your grow so we can better assist you please.

Hey krypt
The environment is bang pal, all advanced nutes sensi ph perfect and all the major additives, like I said 2 of the girls have started to flower but most are not, it was a week ago that I noticed the lights since I've chenged them they are looking like their starting to now, just don't want to keep them if they been stressed an get piss poor results, usually I'm gettin 4/5 oz so if their just gunna give me an is each then I'll chop em

 

[Autonugs]

I haven't done this so honestly I can't say for sure what to expect..... late flower might mean more veg and bigger plant though no? If they aren't flowering and you want them to I've heard of people putting them in dark for 24-48hrs and forcing them to flower.

Yeh I've thought about doing this only thing is I stage crop so I've got various other girls that arnt ready to go into flower just yet,, like I said they have all started showing signs of flowering now I've switched back to 20/4, just don't wanna get another 4 weeks in and realise their minced

For autoflowering I have grown...

Short Stuff Seeds Pinkgrapefruit x1
Bomb Seeds Cherry Bomb x5
Nirvana Blue Mystic x5 (1 plant did not autoflower under 24/0, 20/4 or 18/6, took 12/12 so she was chopped)
Auto Seeds Ultra Lemon Haze x5
Mephisto Genetics Deep Blue C x4
Mephisto Genetics Sour Crack x3
Mephisto Genetics SODKxAlien x1

I played with 20/4 on a few plants and say do improvement over 24/0. Preflowering ranged from as early as day 14 to as late as day 27. Most strains will preflower within a couple of days of each other. If you want to run a 20/4 schedule then I would suggest looking over the instructions for your timer and setting it accordingly.
