Are you starting counting when you flip to 12/12 or when they actually start to cluster flowers? Flowering begins 10-12 days after flipping to 12/12.
These plants here are AUTOs or are labeled AUTOs.
I was referring to the over-all timeline on Auto's. They say 8 or 10 weeks seed to harvest. Hasn't happened for me yet.
N.L. said 10 weeks ... took 16 weeks for instance. Therefore, I haven't found Auto's to finish much faster then Photo's.
Might save a week or 2 at most. I just finished off my Auto Seeds & wont buy any more Auto's. Haven't seen any real advantages to them & I get better yields from Photo's.
I can't say all Auto's take longer. But I have grown about 10 different Auto Strains & none finished in the time they stated.
I have strains that run faster than AUTOs - seed to harvest 70-80 days. Includes a 30-35 day VEG time. 40 day flower time from flip. Finished. Thats faster than any AUTO I've ever ran and we dont even wanna talk yields although the OP has some large plants going... why I asked if they were AUTO they dont look like it to me but if they were outside they wouldn't be flowering yet. IF they were inside and started flowering and put out last week they wood have re-vegged.
