Thanks. I am happy it didn't go into flower early because the other two autos were only about one and a half feet tall when I cut them down. I planted way too early and the stresses made them flower early. After I planted it had gone down to 32° F at night and has been very rainy and wet. Some bud rot had developed on the stunted autos, but this has given me time to start thinking of a plan to avoid it in my two big plants.
Most likely the seeds were not from plants that were properly cross-bred and back-bred to stabilize the genetic make-up. So every now and then a seed shows up that does not have the auto-flower genetics and is actually a photo-period. Just my theory on why we see auto-flowers grow just like they were actually photo-period.
Ouch. I kind of feel bad for that company. Not enough to support them mind you. What a major fiasco. It's got to be hard to run such a company in this politically correct world We now live inpretty much this. there's going to be a small percentage of auto seeds that express as photos even in well-bred autos. so far none have been offered a bud light commercial ..
