No the only way is to wait for it to flower, if it takes longer than 6 weeks then switch to 12/12.🌱👍

no mate ; until they start flowering in more than 14 hours of light after 35 to 45 days roughly ; they are autos or else they photo-period

Are (constantly) high daytime temperatures a huge problem in flower?
My day temperature since turing my light up to max during flower are reaching 29-30c | 84.2 - 86f, while the daytime RH is at roughly 40% - 50%. Is the high temperature something to be concerned about? pics 1 and 2 are the exact same data as pics 3 and 4, just set to c/f each.

Wait or Kill?
Should I give another week to see if it'll flower or should I start new? This plant may be a photoperiod.

Why do my autos take longer than everyone else with same strain
If you live in a different part of the states or heavy LST make your autos take longer to grow. I see all these diaries that at 7-8 week there’s is not only way smaller ( I only have the diaries going now) and they are finished way sooner than when I have grown them. Thank you

Guess the yield?
Hey guys, I know it is probably too soon to make a yield estimate. Does anyone of you want to make an estimate of my minimum yield I'll get from my first grow? I'm just asking for a minimum, not the precise number at all.

When do I switch?
How long before I switch to flower? My tent is only 48" and they grow to 48"-60". I want to wait as long as I can but dont want them burning from the light once they get taller. They have a 9 week flower period. Will be using LST and supercropping with a net. Tanks are 7" tall.

to cut or not to cut?
some pistils have turned yellow-amber while others are still transparent should I wait or simply resign myself to the fact that I have compromised its growth and therefore it will not improve? 😭💔

Potential yield
She's close to harvest and I am wondering how much grams she will yield..as you can see in the pics she's really tall (130cm) and full of buds, I already started to flush her and I've been giving her 275W of light with a 19-5 schedule. Thank you in advance :)

Ready to chop?
Some still have white hairs. But all are showing a very tiny few amber trichomes.. Should I harvest now? Or should I wait for all hairs to go brown? 😬

How are people harvesting early and still getting high???
I've reviewed previous diaries of the same strain and I've seen quite a few where people are 2 or 3 weeks early harvesting and then reporting good effects 🤷♂️🏼
