I'm going to take some time later today and go through one of my journals with Autos, my memory from those years is blank more than active. LOLLCF I keep to an 18/6 schedule because @Jon does and he really knows autos. I used to grow 24/0 but that was just wrong. I think I misread something another grower posted and got the wrong end of the stick with that, but Jon put me right.
have you still got festivities planned? I'm done for the year but I hear you on the seasonal stresses.
MAC#1 is my go to stress reliever, light hearted, pleasant tasting yum yum everyday.
These two plants being so far behind the others is going to mess with my planned schedule for next year.
Holiday stresses take their toll more and more every year. I think depression hits because there are so many family members not with us anymore. We've lost a lot of loved ones over the past two years. Everyone is handling things on their own terms, so it makes it tough to deal with.
I won't be doing a damn thing for New Years' holiday except staying home and getting stoned. The truck will be hidden away in the garage and curtains closed. No one home. LOL
might not be a auto after 8 weeks & still not flowering it just might be a photo period put it at 12/12 & it starts to flower then its a photo period, unless LC is in no rush just keep it at 18/6 & if not flowering by week 10 then def a photo period

I agree with holding off, and see what they do for the next week or so. I'm not in a real rush, curious at this point more than anything.
Were they plants that had become water damaged as seedlings? If yes, that could be a reason they are delayed. If they are already showing pistils, then they are in preflower.
if you're in no rush keep the lights at 18/6 & if not flowering by week 10 then i would say the seed got mixed for a photo period

Yeah, these two had a tough time with that overwatering era, along with the Royal Gorilla that is flowering up nice. Could be the reason for sure.
I just double checked the packaging on the Goat'lato and it definitely says "Auto" on it.

I keep forgetting I almost kilt these kids with overwatering.

Here's the pistils on Goat'Lato. They have multiplied a little over the past week. (quick shots, no tripod. Sorry....)
I have purple going on with the stems.
Temps in the grow after lights out goes down to 72 degrees F., and humidity last night was 62% RH. I had watered/fed yesterday, so the humidity went up a bit. The bubbler keeps it about 52% between water/feed days.
Edit: They've had pistils on them for quite awhile, so other than they seem to be growing a little, that isn't a surprise.

How much are you watering the royal creamatic? I ask because I have mine 1.5 gallons to runoff in the 7 gallon cloth pot, I know you have five gallons, and this morning it’s already light weight again. She’s been drinking faster and faster but today I’m in disbelief it’s dry again.
As far as autos go I don’t have a ton of experience but I think every now and then an auto will swing slightly photo. I wasn’t getting any flowering on the roayal creamatic and switched to 12/12 untill she started flowering and then went back to 18/6. If it was really a photo it would reveg so it was a risk I took by changing it back to 18/6, if she reverts she was getting chopped. But she hasn’t so I think it’s ok. I really think the 12/12 prompted her because the bubba started flowering at the same time within a day, after 12/12 for a week and half. The bubba brunch did reveg and got chopped but that was my own fault. If you just want to see what she does that’s awesome and would be interesting to see if she eventually flowers on 18/6.

All 4 of my plants are getting a gallon every three days right now. They are drinking more, so I'm ready for that. I'm just filling the watering bases with a gallon along with a little top watering and watching the little float to know when they need water. It is working out great so far. Every now and then I have to tap on one of the floats, but that's no trouble for me.
I'm going to give these Goats another week, then decide what to do.
My super auto takes 10 —12 weeks to start to flower
Topping & training slows it down

Ahh ok that makes alot more sense, you did top n train a bit as well!! If they are photos that might be a real pain ? Do you have room to 12/12 if they are photos ? They look like they in a flower stretch phase to me already? Do auto have a stretching period that's shorter or different than photos. I think they looking good tho. They def growing too ! I really like the purple tan,a hand full of mine have some purpling from my lights,I forgot name of hormone? but it's a good one that's responsible for the purple coloring on buds,I guess some plants don't have it !! Like my runt Calliope ,all green lol I think snagging some photo beans in w your auto beans is a score !! I would be excited

I don't believe these are photos. I think, after all the comments today, that they slowed down due to the factors:Ahh ok that makes alot more sense, you did top n train a bit as well!!

Overwatering as seedlings mistake which certainly slowed them down.
Topping/Training
Yes, they are stretching. The Goats started that last week or so, the others before that.

Yea I have alot of sibling so the holidays are also interspersed with birthdays all year round ...it really tap our pockets but it's worth for us,it's fun and worth the stress to coordinate schedules and lives, an always bring a lil something to give n receive truly meaningful gifts today is my mom's bday and we have a nice dinner lined up and gifts too. Then new years ...and then .... then the bdays begin again.......lol jk it is very stressful,just double up on the jointage and hold tight we almost done !!!!!
That’s about what I am giving the other two I’m growing. And the sundae driver is actually taking longer to dry now than it was a week ago. Anyway I was just curious because I think it’s crazy this baby is drinking that much. Your plants are definitely looking great, whether they feel like going into flower or not yet.All 4 of my plants are getting a gallon every three days right now.
