Time seems to be slowing down

Hey all.
She's a Blue Diesel auto. She's 10.5 weeks old, and I'm not seeing any beginnings of buds. Thoughts?

Nice plant but chances are it is not an auto

Time to flip to 12/12...

Cheers

thinking the same thing.

It was even a name brand in a box.

Might be Sativa dominant?
Yeah, I'd go 12/12 too ^

Sucks but it happens, sigh.....

Hay, look at it this way.

You are going to save $ on six hours less of power per day going forward

And it only takes two or three weeks more to finish a photoperiod compared to the auto's I grew recently !

Very nice start and perfect time to flip.

You may want to consider cleaning out the bottom and maybe limiting the top cola's/number of dominate branches to eight/ten/twelve ?

And have a plan to handle any height issues by tying down or super cropping, etc.

Stretch into flower could double her height....

I was always hesitant to clip perfectly healthy growth.

But if you slowly clean out the bottom third the energy spent on those lower bud sites will go to the tops !

And final trim is less work if you do selective pruning slowly over a period of time and eliminate those sites that won't amount to much.

It turns out that training is FUN !

You can actually determine the finished Shape of the plant....

So concentrated on just growing a healthy plant that I didn't even consider how to maximize the harvest and get creative !

BTW > Your set up is perfect for a scrog

Thanks for the tips. Btw, what's scrog?

 

[KeithLemon]

I do not know much about growing yet, but I would say sativa dominate.

Thanks for the tips. Btw, what's scrog?

Basically its a net that you weave the tops into to create a level canopy. When a top gets tall enough you pull it down sideways into the next square. And all of the lower branches will catch up so to speak !

Instead of getting some long full buds reaching higher than the rest of the plant, you get many more smaller buds at roughly the same height !

Most lights have an optimal light range of let's say 12" - 18" and a scrog will have the majority of the plant within this range.

You could fill your tent side to side with this method.
