So I’m a first time grower I have 4 autos going I’m having issues with 1 plant it’s showing white hairs but no bud is developing, I grew on 5 gal pot with Dr.Earth dry amendments giving the girls 18/6 hrs of light(useing viparspectra 2500) but the 1(purple kush) is growing white hairs but not buding up, wondering what can be the issue?

Every strain is different and even same strain plants have different phenotypes. Some flower faster, some flower slower. How old is the plant you're concerned about and when did it start preflowering?

I’m hoping that’s the case, I’m concerned because the plant right next to it being the Dark Devil,(dark purple plant in pic) also was 8-10 weeks but that plant is showing all great signs of buds and trichomes compared to this plant, The plant is going on 55days, the strain says 8-10 weeks it’s a purple kush auto, it started preflowering roughly around late week 3.

@cirE is growing 3 autos right now in the same tent, all same age. One is almost ready for harvest, other has developed some buds, other is just pre-flowering. Check his thread or maybe he can post some pics here for you. Stop worrying, your plants are fine. Happy growing :)

Thanks, I definitely going to sit back and let the girls do there thing, I appreciate the help.
All 3 of mine were planted the same day. 1 is going to be harvested this week, green crack was slow but around day 50 started budding beautifully, And then that one still not showing buds and outgrowing the space it's in lol. I'm hoping for a monster.

You got time to go, they are just startig to develop. Autos will do better in my experience blasting them with 24 hours too. They tend to develop quicker. Get a jewelers loop and check trichomes, when they are about 10% amber is when your plant is about ready. Before that all those white pistols will turn brown and mature. Also all autos grow at different speeds depending on the genetics, some may finish in 8 weeks some in 18. Just gotta watch the plant when they are autos

Thats what im saying!!! If your pistols are like entirley white your either WAY too early or bleached every bud you have, hard to believe that second option though. Guys arent checking their trichs smh
Actually people are harvesting early because they are too focused on the trichs and not the overall look of the plant. Some of us never bother looking at the trichs and never harvest early. Trichs are overrated and not as accurate as many think.
