Hi! Its my frist grow and my plant is about 1 month old (I know its stupid but I thought it would fail to grow so I didn't remember the day it was planted), its Short Rider feminized AF from Nirvana. Growing it indoor in coco (A+B, rhizotonic, formulex at first), using autopots (watering daily at first).

The problem is that the plant doesn't seem to flower so I afraid it turned hermaphrodite or something. Could you please look at the photos to see if there are some problems with it?

Thank you!

Thanks! Can't take any pictures right now, will try to post later.
I don't use any specific flowering nutes though, I basically follow this guide fur nutes and watering: https://www.rollitup.org/blogs/blog786-lowryder-2-grow-journal-canna.html
In pic 4 i can see a flower (didnt realise 4 pics before, my bad). Pic four, follow the stem up to first branch (internode) then second branch (internode) and at the join between the branch and the leaf or at the internode there is a small white circular thing, this is a flower but only pre flower and dose not mean flowering necessarialy. When you get lots of these then you can be sure its flowering.

Let me know if you cant find the flower and i'll try and describe where it is again in pic 4 but definatly female flower. Peace and congrats, shes female at least!

my autos took six weeks to show mate, they are on week twelve now and still need a couple of weeks in my opinion and these were supposed to be nine week strains. lol

I grew some autos recently but really problematic flowering, 80day finish but not even flowered by day 40. Autos are still hit and miss but they are getting better, my advice try a few strains before settling. There female no worries mate so chill the buds will follow.

Welshsmoker knows his stuff, in safe hands.

your ballast are causing the lines in pic mag ballast tend to do that
Irrelevant, the pics show enough to answer the question.

Hey there, got some updates!

Now apparently there's no doubt the plant is flowering (yes, there's just one plant), however now the problem is it grows too much in size - I was wondering if there's a way to make the buds grow bigger instead of wasting energy on the whole plant size?

Really appreciate your help!

If it was me i would trim lower branches off want about 6 inch from the bottom of plant to the top. This will thin the plants out and also improve air circulation

dont trim fuck all on autos mate, they cant take the recovery time, just let them go, i prefer 12/12 for mine it seems to work better.

Hi!

I switched to 12/12 lighting, hasn't really stopped the growing although I think it slowed down.
Its already growing for about 2.5 months, any idea how long till the harvest? Its about to outgrow my tent :(
