How do I know when this auto goes into flowering s...

Howdy there @Bakrauf! Look like shes flowering now! 😎 Just sit back relax and let the buds grow =) You will want to give your plant pure water for 2 weeks before harvest for a smooth and clean smoke without all the synthetic nutrients in the plants system!

hey man, you're in preflowering now, these will start stretching and going into full bloom naturally, don't worry ! start bloom nutes now, or if you want just some unsulfured mollasses, it's bio and it's cheap ($8 a gallon max!), the sugar gives a kick during flower, two table spoons dilluted in some warm water then added to your normal watering. Hope this helps ! 🚀

When you see the 1st pistils 😁👍

The way to tell if your plant is going into flower , is judging the amount of pre flowers there are and if the calyx is open with the hair sticking out . pre flowering looks very different then veg in that the plan no longer grow's just straight up you will see the nodes are going to start to stagger allowing space for flower formation . You will also see lots of little white hairs starting to form up were your next node would push out but instead its going to concentrate on the formation of flowers . You will also notice during this stage that the plant will grow quite a bit we call this the "stretch or stretching" it will do this in order to make room for flowers to fully form and ones it stops stretching it will concentrate fully on flower development . Based on what I see in your diary , you should take away some of those big leaves to open up more tops to the light . This will increase your yield because those hidden tops aren't fighting for light . If you have lot's of leaves to remove do only a few at a time wait a few days so you can see your plants response and then do it again as needed . I don't really recommend doing this in late flower so the earlier you can do it the better :) . Over all your well on your way to flowering . You're in pre flower now based on what i see because the tops are getting more white and looking like they are getting small hairs in the centre for flower formation . If you're feeding nutrients I advise that your start giving them more bloom oriented nutrients now :) I hope this information helps you to understand when a plant is going to start flowering or rather want to start flowering due to maturity . -Happy Growing!

Hi, Normally Autoflower go into flower around week 4-6. But its nearly impossible to see anything in purple light.I would recommend you another Lightcycle, so that the plant can have a rest. and i think she will go into flower then. anything above 18 hours of light for the Girls is enough for them.

Weeks 1 to 3 have the same picture and so do weeks 4 to 6. That makes impossible to judge the real age and development of your plant. Also purple pictures are for the most part useless, since wwe can't see anything useful. Generally autoflowering strains begin their flowering stage after they fully open their 5th pair of leaves. That been said, the beginning stages of that is a growth spurt known as the preflower / stretch phase, which could be the growth explosion you mention in your post. Also there's seems to be buds forming in the base of the nodes, but it is hard to tell the picture been saturated with pink / purple hues.
