preflower and flower?

do you count the 2 weeks of pre flower into the 8week flower schedual. I am using advanced nutrients ph perfect and I think I gave big bud too soon. its been 13 days since the switch to 12/12. the terminals look like they will be crowning any day now with pistels.

don't count at all, use trichs for confirmation.

im using the grand master so i need to count. harvest wise, i got the 60x's microscope for the trichomes

ok, maybe someone using same nutes will chime in bro.

Will preflowers show during veg, or only after the light cycle change?

if the beans are not feminized then some will force sex by switching to 12/12. within 7-10 days on average the plant will show sex.
if the beans are feminized then sex is pre-determined. the only thing that will affect sex is stress.
plants show sex around the 5-6th week of veg, some are reluctant and need the 12/12 to make the change.
look at the 5th internode or the 8th on the meristem and you will see your sex.

Nothing yet. Plants look healthy, although only 9" or so. Growth has slowed to a crawl, and my nodes are alternating. 18/6 4 weeks old sunday.

Sorry for the hi-jak op.

No worries man.

It sounds like an autoflower? YES?
Growth will slow when asymetrical internodal formation occurs. This just means that your lil lady is getting ready to give back.

Is Autoflower just a Ruderalis plant?

I feel bad, should have started my own thread.

Pre flowers show in Veg...
otherwise they are "Buds"
I don't know about your plants [LOL]...
But my plants have four different cycles:
#1-Seedling/clone stage- growing roots for 18-21 days...
#2-Veg Stage- different from seedling/stage 1 because you now add Nutes...[I veg my plants for about 5-8 weeks, depends on size, and how much I F with them]
#3-Conversion stage-after you flip the switch, your plants change from veg to bud... Takes about 6-14 days [my clones show buds 6 days after light switch]
#4-Bud Time count your time in Bud from when you first see hairs on your bud sites... [not pre-hairs] 8 more weeks or so...[I get amber trics 56 days into stage 4]

I can not speed up cycle, each phase of plant takes time... you should not try to speed it up either...
