Pistils? Steps from now on?

Since it’s an Autoflower you will see pistols around this time. The plant is showing sex. Now it should start developing bud soon. Autoflowers generally double or even triple in size when they flower. So you should expect a massive growth phase once it start to flower. It is too late to top. But you can pull the plant down using wire or rope to expose the lower branches to more sunlight. If done correctly you can achieve many huge colas from your branches instead of just a few if you leave it untouched. You can check out my diary to see how I LST my plant and how it’s performed over the weeks. Looks like a great plant and keep up the good work. Hope this helps.
