in the closest pic i can kind of make out a possible pistil...anyway why are you doing 13/11?!? dont flower those yet they are still way too small to get a decent yield..going to add an hps for flowering i hope?

Depending on the strain auto's will do way better with 18 hrs of light, no need to turn light cycle down to flower if true auto.

If I veg most of my strains for more than 15-20 days they get way too tall for my room. I think veg time is dependent on the growers needs and enviroment. I get 300-400g average in 10 week cycle. Could I get more with a longer veg, yes but room wont handle it unless scrog or LST. Is it still a decent harvest, yes!!

The big one I would guess yes, the little one, not sure, you need to get a pic of the nodes up close to tell if its showing yet.

but its female write?
RITE, it is in fact female.

Can we adress the ever growing concern here:
Why are there so many people growing that dont even know the difference between Male and Female Calyx?
If this is your passion,if this is something you want to be good at and not something you just do...
How come so many growers cant even memorize the phraseology, get to know not just the plant and her anatomy,
but the intricacies of her life cycle, how she lives and changes?
The deeper understanding you have of what your working with, the more apt you will be in doing so.
I wouldn't call the guy who calls my transmission "That shifty thing" and then points to the trunk when referencing it a mechanic, So how can all these herbs call themselves growers?
Now this is in Newb Cent, so its understandable.... But all the cats in Gen Grow that do the same thing?
This site is a wealth of knowledge, if some of those would just utilize it and absorb, it would be MORE so.
Because there would be less posts like this, and more useful contribution to the general record.

Headie makes a great point educate yourself
you might want to read up on autos (i don't grow them my self) but those who do... for a decent yield use 3g pots or larger to start because autos don't like being tranplanted
you will loose yield because of stress on the plant
good luck :)

it is actually "right"; not "write" or "rite".

But anyway, you say "write" like you already know, you just need confirmation. Why do you think its a female? Do you know how you tell females from males? Its easy and basic stuff if you plan on growing.

And you cut the top trying to top the plant I assume? IMO, you cut too little off. When topping, I cut in between nodes, you should have a small stem with some leaves and a growth shoot in your hand when done.
"FIMing" is closer to what you have done although I am not sure you cut enough to change the growth pattern either way.

Try reading up on basic plant biology. Stuff like nutrition and photosynthesis, transpiration and respiration etc. You will be much, much better off going in with an understanding than you would be just winging it and asking for help on a message board (which happens to have a lot of "wingers" who love to give advice)

What would be the benefits of growing an auto indoors? You get less yield and less potent bud. I think it's great for outdoors where you don't have photoperiod control. I would rather grow indica/sativa hybrids indoors. I hope everything is all "write" with your grow jusii. Anyway, also, if you buy seeds why not get female seeds for your first seed buy? Or did someone give you autoflower seeds?

I didn't realize english wasn't your first language. Writing the language can be tough with the homophones.

Looking again, I see that the topping looks OK. Those two shoots on either side of the cut should grow out to be main branches now.

Two white "hairs" mean female. I didnt see anything in your pic but if you have "hairs" (stigma), you have a female.
 
It's an Autoflower.. just let her do her thing don't top and trick it with weird light cycles. If you want to get into training just try out some shitty bag seed photos.

Some advice and don't take it wrong but if you're not able to sex a plant you probably shouldn't be playing with light cycles yet or listening to other people when they say, "Some people use 13/11"... Start with 12/12 and only change once you're confident in your system.

The reason is, if you're like most people, you're going to end up with multiple strains and probably will have multiple schedules in your flower room. There are benefits to shortening or extending the photo period at certain points in flowering stage however it can be more harmful than good depending on those factors nad it's something you should read about before attempting if you're still learning.

Did I miss something? Its an auto right? Why 12/12?
