Depends. Showing sex and flowering are 2 different things entirely. Every mother and all my clones under 24/0 all have white pistils at every node and they arent AF strains. Now if the pistils continue to form into buds, then they are flowering. If not, they are just preflowers. Are yours just showing a couple white hairs or balls at each node or is it full on flowering? Either way, showing sex at 3 weeks is very handy no matter the strain!!

If you keep the lights on 18/6 for another week or so and you dont see more and more hairs forming, its just preflowers. If the white hairs keep forming and start to look more like mini buds then you got autoflowers! Got any pics?

Out of the 10 autos I have going this is the only one that I know for sure what it is. The rest off my plants are from the ShortStuff mix, a grab bag of auto breeds. Here are some pics of part of her lifespan.#8day19.jpg#8day23 (2).jpg#8day27 (2).jpg#8day31.jpg#8day35.jpgView attachment 1299753

Hey guys,

I just wanted to update you all on my semi-recent harvest. I chopped my Easy Ryder almost a month ago and achieved a final dry weight of 36g out of my DWC + micro-ScrOG PC case. Here are some pictures of the plant before and after the chop.

I've also started a new Easy Ryder grow.

Hi again..

Q.Q..? Do all auto-flowering do best on 18/6...? Is there any that can grow efficently under less hours of light..?

Just about everything I've read says if you want to get max yeilds from AFs, they need at least 18/6, if not 20/4. They will still grow and flower with less, but you'll have a smaller yield.

That depends on the strain and the techniques you use to grow it....I have seen people who LST and get an ounce or more which is good for me since it is for personal use only!!!

Yea thats what im after. personal use only. so how would a northern lights strain react? Since it will be stealth and a first grow i need the easiest route to bud lol.

if i got AF it will probably be under 12/12 cfl

well care to give your thoughts on a quick AF strain for stealth indoor grow? Light pattern is not a big deal as its easily changed. But i work alot and will be doing this alone so i need a strain that can take some abuse if im not able to tend to it as id like to, obviously im not gonna neglect my plant tho.

18/6 is best for autos and quite a few grow with 20/4... I used cfl's for vegging and then a 150w hps for flowering...I have a small area so 150w is plenty for my area....I am currently growing auto berrys...click on my sig and check out my grow....

Hey, all. I have been lurking here for a while now and have become a believer! I am buying autoflowers from Attitude tomorrow. I am looking for some input on my final decision of strains. I've narrowed my choices down to the following...
Kannabia Seeds Automatica BCN Diesel, Short Stuff Onyx or Mi5, Samsara seeds auto Shot Adrenaline and Sweet Seeds Fast Bud. I need to narrow it down to 2 strains. Any input would help! Right now I am growing a Kandy Kush(fem) and 4 Chocolate Rains, not yet showing sex. Thanks!

Hello everyone , great thread just thought i could share my grow if thats ok, this is my second grow cfl only 2- 300 watt red spec cfls, At the moment from day one of germinating seeds, i have 3 maxigom autos going on day 64 a bit slow , 3 speeddevil for sweetseeds at day 59 funny thing about them the SD all 3 look different i guess its what they call unstable strain or phenotypes just a heads up to anyone looking at buying them , all looking good but one seems to have the better genes it has more trics since day 45 and more milky looks like it will be the first to mature. i also have some younger strains 2 fast bud from sweetseeds at day 34 and 1 big devil day 33 from sweetseeds. Also to new growers who want auto seeds sweetseeds has a pretty good deal where u get 3 diff autos 2 seeds of each total 6 seeds for 45 euros. last grow even with many fuks ups the speeddevil yielded 30 grams dry but this time and roadrunner 45 grams dry. Last pic is the roadrunner close to cut date.

I got my order in early too. I keep missing out on the chocolope singles and may have to get a whole pack. They just upped the stock yesterday and it was already sold out this morning. Doh!

I posted this in the Newbie forum and maybe this is a better place to post....

When do I start pre-harvest flush?

I tried to search for this, but didn't come up with anything.

I have 9 plants growing all from seed and all 51 days old from seed.

Started 12/12 light 2 weeks ago.

3 of my plants are Buddha Red Dwarf Autos. They started showing pistils 16 days ago.

I've read others harvest Buddha Red Dwarf Autos at 76 days old from seed.

If that is about correct, I would need to start flushing in about 10 days with just H2O to get a good 2 week flush.

Or do I need to see that some of the trichomes are turning cloudy and/or going dark?

Pics are of the crop and a closeup of one of the autos.​
