[tony mcstoney]

My stone dragon reg auto didnt show sex until almost week 7.....now its week 8 and has alot of nice bud sites forming.plant grew fine under 18/6 led150w n a bunch of cfl in ffhf soil no deficiencies vegged nice n well at that..my ??? Is since it didnt show sex at week 3 like ive read for most and avg grow is bout 85 days how long do you think she will need to flower/finish.should i of turned my lites to 12/12 after week 5 or 6 to get it to flower.ya think she is a full auto or maybe semi.....just curious as plant is way bigger than the others ive grown also.....just some ???? I was wondering .

You really shouldn't have to go 12/12 on autos so it's hard to say why she too so long unless it pulled some pheno traits from her past.Normal time for showing sex is around three weeks but i have a few go longer.If your seeing pistols i would go back to 18/6 but if it stops growing flowers than you might have to go back to 12/12.

She always been on 18/6 the whole grow.and is budding nicely now but i was just wondering cause i gots 10 more seeds that if i got another plant after 3 weeks of no sign of sex is it recomended to change lite to 12/12......7 weeks seems long to get a pistole.....she just vegged n vegd while the other two that were males showed there balls at 4 weeks......have another stone dragon nice n bushy at almost 4 weeks and no sign of sex on 18/6 and was wondering do i go that long again or try to force it to flower 12/12.....if it got little rudy in her mite she be stronger or produce more was the other thing i be thinking.
