Mate, the picture is a bit small- I need closer focus on the top of the plant. That said, I do believe you've got a buds forming, pretty sure in fact. Good luck for a great harvest.
Just new growth. Are you spraying your plant with anything? Cause the new growth looks a little funky. Probably nothing to worry about though.
No not spraying with anything. They are "Autoflowers" on day 52 from sprouting and haven't shown a single sign of flowering. I switched the lighting to 12/12 about 5 days ago and because this new growth looked weird I was hoping is was buds. This plants are taking forever.
Something is up with them if they are autos and at Day 52 they are not heavy into flowering. What strain are they? Do you at least have pre flowers? If they at least had pre flowers after 5 days of 12/12 they should be starting to flower so that it would be easy to see. I have had the odd plant not go "auto" when it should and in my case not having a set up to run a 12/12 schedule I just chop and drop a new seed. Not worth the time and effort on bad genetics.
They are Northern Lights Feminized Auto Flower by Vision Seeds. http://www.gorilla-cannabis-seeds.co.uk/visionseeds/autoflowering/northern-lights-auto.html They were on 24/0 before the switch. They have been growing like crazy since sprout. They are almost 3 feet tall now and I know they are supposed to at least double when they start flowering... I don't see any pre-flowers.... but I also don't really know what I am looking at.... I will try to get some better pictures and post them up.
View attachment 7328 Pics of the girls. Here are some pics of the girls. Toph was burned really bad when she was younger and grew into the lights and she is still cupping . She never fully recovered... so I understand her giving me issues. Lola has been healthy and pretty ever since she sprouted.... so I Don't get it.
Are this point I would say it's a case of either you were sent the wrong seeds(sent photoperiod) or just bad genetics. Your pictures are pretty good, thank you. I don't see any signs of pre flowering in any of the pictures. Basically you are looking for the small flower pistol they normally show first at the internodes on the plant. On non femmed plants it could show male flowers as well.
Well, they are supposed to be feminized, so that's a good sign.... however they were also supposed to auto flower lol. Also, I had to move the lights up again. They are almost at the top of my 4 foot box....I'm gonna have to scrap them and start over if they don't start flowering soon.
They should start in about 5-7 days (since they have been on 12/12 for 5 days already). Personally I would not start fresh, I would lst the fuck out of them and let them flower, it would be a shame to lose all the veg time you have already invested. Maybe throw a few cfls in there for under lighting if possible.
youll know when they start flowering itll be a little white hair,completely different color from the green on the plant...like pure white yes i would lst or tie all the tops down to a smaller heigth and let them flower make sure when doing this you have support for the buds as they might get fat and branches will snap
I would say you have bigger problems with that plant then you know. That growth is not normal, the colouring on the outside of those fan leaves is kinda weird as well. Plus the fan leaves don't seem to be filling out. I would look at deficiencies or toxicities.... I'm thinking a toxicity
Still no white hairs, but lots of those little nubbies forming these past few days. Preflowers getting ready to finally do their thing, I hope?
