Auto or pheno?
GutterHoestarted grow question 5 years ago
In the future is there a way other then just extending veg to see if a random bag seed is an auto or pheno? Got some POWERFUL smoke but lost so much in weight. Over 4 oz is great for my first ever grow at almost 50 yrs old but I wanted perfection.

You always have pheno(types) mo mater if you are using auto(flowering) or photo(periodic) strain , every variations of a same strain is called a phenotype.
So it's simple , you keep your plant under veg during at least 1 month and a half , the plants that are not flowering by themselves are photo(periodic) and the others are autos.

I'm assuming you mean "photo period" instead of "pheno"? A phenotype is the characteristics of a specific organism. I just wanted to explain that in case you confused the terms and that wasn't a typo.
That said...An auto will usually start flowering within 30 days so the holding out longer than that would help you figure it out. The only other way I can think to get a faster answer would be to take a clone cutting from the plant and then put that clone into a 12/12 light schedule to see if it starts flowering. The problem with that second method, though, is it will stress the plant and slow it's growth a bit. So, if it is an auto, it can reduce the amount it can grow during its life cycle. Hope that helps!

Does a stressed seedling turn hermie?Hi! Pretty much like a zombie, I got my OG to come back to life. As you can see, she gave up on the main shoot and on all leaves but one after stress on the transplant. Now I see a new tip appear and grow. Can a feminized plant turn hermie because of that stress?Plant. Other
