Finally Flowering

[exordium]

So my first attempt at a grow with autoflower (tried photoperiod and failed miserably). It's taken me 11 weeks to get them flowering. Changed my nutes, new carbon filter and new fan. Temps are now stable at 25c. Been a learning experience but hopefully can grow on this (pardon the pun) and start producing some nice fresh personal

Congrats man, I'll keep the fingers crossed for the flowering stage. 11 weeks seems excessively long for autos, but they are all a bit different. Enjoy the journey :)

I know, I read that they should take about 4 - 5 weeks. I was clearly doing something wrong. But looking though this forum there is a wealth of knowledge. Now I have changed the way, it seems to be working. Now when you open the tent you can smell the freshness. So fingers crossed and hopefully it will pay off.

Was it a change in light schedule that made it start to flower? How much light / dark does it get per day?

I am on 18/6 and I have not changed that. Been using different nutes. I am using nutrients now 4 times a week, and the grow has really improved.

I am using full spectrum LED 3 x 600watt

Some companies auto genetics are not on point. Ive had similar with autos i had to go 12/12 on after about 3.5 months of veg only showing preflowers

Right on. Keep us updated and have fun with it

I will do. It is all a learning curve. And as you start to become more "green fingered", I am starting to learn. It's my first real attempt at growing. But what I am learning is when I do my next grow, I know what to change.

It's been a bit of a journey. Photoperiod I really failed at. So researching autos I thought it was worth a try. As you mentioned "Some companies auto genetics are not on point". But I think it is down to my inexperience. We learn from our mistakes. It's taken 11 weeks but they are now flowering, and the tent smells amazing. Even if I don't yet a massive yield, it has been my first step learning to grow.

Buddy i dont blame you.. unless you overwatered or stressed the plant to near death multiple times somehow its genetics. What kind of light? What company and strain? Tell us more about your setup. Can we see any pics of the plants with lights off?

[exordium]

I have 2 plants, one in soil and one in coco coir. Since I have changed my nutes the coco coir one is doing really well.

My setup:
fan heater: this is keeping the tent now at a constant 25c
3 x 600 watt full spectrum LED
1 x house fan
1 x carbon filter

Company ishttps://www.cannabis-seeds-store.co.uk/

Strain is:
Barneys Farm Critical Kush Auto

They were £14 each from eBay. They are the blurple lights. It said they were full spectrum. So maybe my cheap lights could be the issue? Stop being tight and spend some money lol; If I want a decent grow
