So I'm New to Growing. This is my First time trying it. After Googling different strains I decided to Purchase 3 Critical Purple Feminized Autoflower Seeds for the simple fact that I've read they are fairly easy to grow and they basically grow and Flower in a pretty short period of time which sounded Great to me because I wanted to keep it short and sweet. So my question/Issue is I planted the seeds a few days before 4/20. On the day of 4/20 the Seeds had Sprouted. I then put them in 2 Gallon Pots in Soil. I also mixed in some Super Soil with the regular soil just cause I heard that's good for them. So it is now June 2nd. So that equals about 7 Weeks they have been growing. 7 Weeks in to an Autoflower Grow and I still DO NOT have any Buds yet !! As a matter of fact I don't even see any White Pistils either. So that alone is worrying me that somethings not right with them. Does anybody here know anything about Critical Purple Autoflowers ? Or does it really matter what strain it is ? The whole reason I bought Autoflowers is because I thought they grew and Budded fast and I don't have a heck of a lot of time to tend to them because I'm leaving for Florida to visit Family the first week of July. That leaves me with 1 Month before I have to leave these plants by themselves with nobody to take care of them for a week. So if they're not done within the next Month I will have to move them Outside and can cover them with a Mesh Tent while I'm gone. Weather or not they can survive outdoors like that after being indoors since Sprout I don't know. But my main question is Why have they Not started Budding yet after 7 Weeks ? Is this Normal with Critical Purple ? Or is there something I'm not doing right ? Or something I can do that will make them Bud Faster ? As far as Nutes go I do have all 3 Stages of Nutes. CNS17 - Grow, Bloom, and Ripe. I just switched from Grow to Bloom Nutes about a week or 2 ago hoping that would make them start Budding but still nothing has happened that I can see. Also do all Pistils have to be White ? Or is it possible that Pistils can be Green in color and that's why I don't notice them ? Cause I don't see any White Hairs. Any Help on this Issue would be So Greatly Appreciated !! Thanks !!
