Hi I am fairly new to growing weed and I have learned a whole lot in a short period of time. I just need help telling the difference between autoflowering and photoperiod plants. I think that I have an autoflowering plant. The plant is 2 months old and in vegative stage. The reason I think it's auto is because the plant recently revealed its sex by having two pistils. I did not change light schedule, it has been on 18/6 this whole time.. Question: if a plant shows sex in vegative without changing light to 12/12, is this normal for all cannabis or an exclusive characteristic for photo or auto? Would this be called preflowering or simply just showing sex? Or is showing sex the same as preflowering? I read about preflowering and I understood that this is when u see first signs of sex but I also read that preflowering is first signs of buds... These are clearly two different things, so which is which? If I know exactly what preflowering is, I can understand better. Here is my question from different perspective: Do photoperiod plants show sex before flowering stage? Do photoperiod plants preflower/show sex on 18/6 light schedule?
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to inform me!
