auto ak x hindu kush: somethins not right!!!!

ok i planted my auto ak47 x hindukush and its been 23 day.. mg organic soil,in 1gal bags,the ph is about 7..400watt hps..the thing is that they are only maybe 2inchs tall!! and i can see what seems to be male pollen sacks on some..i just know something not right if anyone has any info..i never grew this strain so i dont know if this is the norm...i'll try to get pics up a.s.a.p. thanks and peace...and ask the weed gods to spare my babys

is anyone out there????

how long do you keep the lights on?
18/6 or
24/0?

Post some Pictures, they might just be new node sites and not pollen sacks.

thanks guys: i keep the lights on 20/4,and no there pollen sacks fo sho.. i think it mite be from shock..i think you have to sow the autos in what they grow in i dont think they can deal with transplanting..i put then in plugs then soil..

I grew the same exact strain and by 23 days they were probably 6-8 inches. I was using a hydro system.

yeah im not happy it sucks i just hope i can get some pollen from the males and i will be happy...

It's an "auto" strain so they are supposed to start showing around this time and they flower "show sex" no matter what light schedule they are on, around the 3rd week anyways. Males, no matter the strain, usually show before females. So you have no issue yet, unless you have pics and we can find an issue. I'd say no worries and just be patient.

I also grew this same strain, well am actually about 2wks from harvesting them. Yours definitely sound waaayyyy too small for how old they are, even though they are the auto/dwarf genes. Stress could def. be a cause of this, something like bad temps, or not good soil (not enough perlite). With these strains i think it's very important to give them a very healthy veg period and get a strong root system 'cuz it's only for a good week or two before they start flowering. If something stunts them real young they'll be sexing and flowering by the time they recover and be super small. I'll attach a pic of my ladies at about 22-25 days. They are in DWC hydro but grew to be freaks at about 36". Good luck with the rest of your grow and hopefully you'll get some good bud or as you said, at least some useable pollen.
