Is she (auto)flowering!?

1juan420started grow question 1y ago

The first image is from D60, the others D66. The light cycle is set to 18/6, she was in a tent with 8 other plants and no other shows symptoms of flower. The tent had too high humidity the last couple of weeks. Im almost sure she is in 1st/2nd week of flower, but why?is she auto?

It's probably nearing approaching 10 days of flower. When you see preflowers, it takes about 7 days for those to grow, so flower started about 7 days before you notice them. While preflowers can show up invege it's pretty difficult for that to happen with an autoflower, unless it veges for 6-8 weeks before flowering. It's either a mis-packaged seed or you are accidentally giving 10+ hours of uninterrupted darkness. high RH would not cause flower in a photoperiod. a long dark cycle causes flower. Preflowers - the individual calyxes at growth nodes (each branch) that are first to be seen. normal flowers - pistils that show up at the bud sites in bunches. Pistils at the terminal bud of any branch is not a preflower. preflowers are not part of budsites, just adjacent to them.. they often get enveloped by them by the end.

It is possible although auto is a recessive trait. Meaning unlikely but one could have slipped through. Could be a light leak in your tent or a power outage has stressed your crop and this is the first to show

Iv had a few autos that showed preflower but stayed stuck in that stage and I ended up having to flip to 12/12 for the remainder of the grow for them to flower. If she hasn't progressed in the next 7 days I'd suggest flipping to 12/12 because they may not have been true autoflowers.

The look of the tops certainly resembles more of a transition to flower vs just your typical preflowering. It's possible it's got ruderalis genes, especially if this plant was billed as a "fast" version of the strain. Only way to know for certain would be to let it continue under 18/6... but if you're about to flip your tent anyway then I wouldn't stress too much. It shouldn't be too far ahead of the others.

Hi, it looks to me like it's just showing its gender. Wait a few more days and then you'll see what happens, but don't worry yet, it looks completely normal.

To me it looks like flowering. Doubt that sexing would look like this. By time they should show heavily sex, but it reminds more flowers. Maybe you had some extra freebie and poped it too ? Maybe just bad work at warehouse of manufacturer ... Next 4-5 days will tell you for sure. Btw your plants are sick a bit. Looks like overfed and now excess plays up with certain nutes uptake ... Rethink feedings ...
