Auto or photo

I'm wondering if my plant is automatic or photoperiod. I'm growing White widow automatic for the last 75 days and she still just in Preflower with a couple of pistils here and there. Do I maybe have a photoperiod plant? The flowers appeared after a24h dark period two weeks ago.

Even a bud site in the middle you just need to test a small part and you'll know very quickly.

Hey brother. I reckon its a photo. But you could always do a test while keeping her at 18hrs. Pick a node and block it out from the light for them extra 6 hours. The lack of air flow on it shouldn't be too much of an issue and within days you'll know 100% if that is throwing off more pistils. Good luck..

that's 10 weeks in veg, I would switch it down to 12/12 that's to long even if it is an auto. hopefully the switch will kick it into flower. I have heard about 9 week vegging autos and that's to long. max 5 in my opinion, otherwise just grow known photoperiods. Good Luck!

what i see when i look at your diary is a plant showing maturity. those pistils extending from nodes are a sign that plant is ready to flower and it reached sexual maturity. thats it. so if it hasnt formed any budlets yet i’m guessing you have a photo on your hands and you have to switch to 12/12 for it to flower.
