Glad to see she is putting on some new growth fox! Have you thought about switching the lights to 12/12 to induce flowering?

why do u think you will be going photo instead of auto on the next grow? just wondering heheh. i love these autos looking forward to breeding my own personal cross with well i'm not sure yet with what for the auto side of things but i would love to make my stash auto, worked on that sucker for 3 years and i just love the flavor of my baby, making her auto would be fantastic haha.

@calipso thanks for the words of encouragement! It's been a great learning experience everyday, and I try to gain as much if not more from my mistakes than my successes. and to be honest, I was going to start with a photo strain and didn't know much at all about autos, but I got this free seed with my order and did some research and figured I'd give it a go, be able to harvest sooner and seemed less maintenance was required, plus if I failed it was just a free seed. It is all working out pretty well though. So I have some other seeds that are photo so I figure I'll just grow those when my TBM is done, but I will definitely grow more autos in the future!

@Rollerofdoobs Will going to 12/12 induce flowering even though its an autoflower strain?

 

[RollerofDoobs]

Yea, alot of autoflower strains flower great under 12/12. Seeing as it is day 38 I would go ahead and switch it to 12/12 to nudge it into flowering.

 

[afox107]

and then after it starts flowering keep it at 12/12 or go back to 24/0?

 

[RollerofDoobs]

I would just keep it at 12/12 because if it hasn't flowered yet, it most likely is not going to have the autoflower trait. I would treat it like a photoperiod. Most autoflowers start pre-flower around day 21. But I am just suggesting what I would do personally, I am still a relatively new grower myself.

 

[afox107]

I didn't know autos could lose the autoflower trait... I am gonna give it a few more days at 24/0 just because I stunted her with my mistakes and now that she has what she wants hopefully she'll get back on track and explode! but If by the end of the week she's not showing any flowers, I'll switch her to 12/12 and see how it goes. I was planning on harvesting the first week of dec but I don't think that's gonna happen, it might be closer to xmas.

Just noticed this...preflowers?

So time for me to flash my noob card, I took a look at my TBM for signs of flowering a minute ago and took a couple pics... are these preflowers? They look like it to me but like I said, I'm the mayor of newbieville... so any insight would help...???

How is the TBM grow going?
