Week2 and in Pre-Flower?

Hi growmie😊 It's normal, every strain is different and even more so, every pheno is different. I had something like that too. The other thing is, as @gottagrowsometime says. 24/7 light for an auto is doable but strange things can happen. From everything I've read, 18 hours on and 6 hours off is the best. Slight yield increase with more light but up to 20 hours on and 4 hours off. After 20 on and 4 off, nothing else happens except stress for the plants. Yes, with photoperiods, you can totally leave the light on 24/7 during the vegetative phase for even more yield, but you should also make sure they don't have any problems. But autos under 24/7 light, if they have other issues too, then everything gets even harder because they can't recover. 😁 Happy growing ✌️💚🌱

It always depends on the genetics; some sativa-dominant strains go into flowering later and generally take longer to be ready for harvest, so stay patient.

This can happen with Autoflowers. I’ve seen some show pistols after the first week, which is not cool at all. This varies greatly with genetics and environmental stressors. You can’t do anything about it with the genetic side but stress can be limited with steady light, temp, humidity and airflow for your environment. Also defoliation, topping or training are forms of stress that could cause the plant to begin flower. On the plus side, it looks like your girl is doing very well so far so you still should get a decent amount out of it. Some autos can nearly triple in size during the first two weeks of slower. Hope this helps.

I also use Xpert Nutrients. My autos do be big with these Nutrients. But autos flip whenever they feel. But typically the times are between 25-35 days of veg. Sometimes I get autos that flip into late week 3, or a major thing that flips them is stress or shock. Lot of the time. Its tranplanting that shocks them. In this case it's light shock + exhaustion. If you look up DLI you'll learn a lot about what I'm talking about. Good growing pal

Hey, so after looking through your diary. The issue I find that can be the cause of an early flip is stress. And seeing you ran your autos 24/7 without any rest. Well. That's your reason.. also it's the reason why the plants stay small. Think of plants as living things. Like ppl. If I stayed up 24/7 yes, I could do stuff, but with 6/8 hrs rest. I would be MUCH more productive in everything I do. Plants are the same. Autos, ppl think you can run 24/7 but you all it means when they say you don't need a light change to flip them. So you can run mixed tines without risk of vegging etc. Ppl run autos outdoors or whatever. But THEY still work of the same thing all weed plants do, DLI. And yours aren't getting enough bursts of energy to make big pushes.. You shouldn't run autos or weed plants full stop without giving them rest pal.

Preflowers can show fairly early, it's really nothing to worry about.

Auto, theirs maturity is pure luck, but if she shows sex/starts to flower so early, it wont be huge plant, fact.

Because she's an auto they can show sex early, nothing to worry about really.

High ItsTolkAaGroW, 2 weeks is really early mate. But because she is an Sativa you can expect this plant to grow 3 times bigger during the pre flowering phase. For training you can use LST what means, bending the plant into the shape that you want. You want to bend the plant in such a way that all the buds are growing on the same height and distance from the lamp. Happy Growing Buddy! 💚

I can think of three reasons why your plant would be throwing off pistils at week 2. 1. Some photoperiod cultivars will throw off pistils early. Sometimes they just show their sex a bit early. Nothing to worry about. 2. You done fucked up with your light timer. Make sure you haven't been running her at 12/12 this entire time. 3.. In the case that you have an autoflower, your plant might just be in actual preflower. Some phenotypes flip super fast. Good luck homie. Hope your issue is the first one!
