I have some Hindu Kush "autos" from Growers choice that have been vegging for about 9 weeks lol.
Their email response:
"I am very sorry to hear about this issue.
Auto-flowering "technology" has improved immensely throughout the years, but due to the nature of only having 10% Ruderalis in the genetics there will always be variables to the auto-flowering trait. Having a heavier presence of Ruderalis could stabilize the auto-flower trait, but will ultimately impact the potency/characteristics of the intended strain. For this reason some auto-flowers will perform similar to their original photoperiod strain and will need to be triggered into the flowering stage by decreasing the amount of light it receives.
Thank you for your understanding, and please let me know if there's anything I can do for you."
They still claim them to be autos even though they require a light change. I would have expected them to say they probably packaged the wrong seed.
I put them in the dark for 2 days and then on 12/12 lights for the past week, still not flowering. I have had problems with GC seeds before so this is the last time from them.
