Wss skunk first time Growing: Day 42

[Purplehaze420x]

Hey you guys!! I'm now on day 42 since seed comed from ground. She is getting flowers all around. She is around 49cm tall.
It's plant that should be finish untill week 12.
She is giving me little worries.
It's wss skunk faminized auto.
But now I'm afraid. Since she is 42 days already growing. I see pre flowers but no full flowering. So I'm worried if she is not autoflower... First 5 weeks I kept her under 24/7 but since 4 days changed to 20-4. Giving her this4h dark.
Should i maybe change on 12/12 for her to begin to fully flower?  it's my first time so I'm becoming really stressed . Please guys help me if you have any idea what's happening

Hey Purple,

Well she looks good... so kudos on that! Could be the seeds got crossed up - that happens frequently. Some folks are able to keep an auto in veg by slowly defolling a leaf here and there to extend the time.
Might be good to upcan her into larger bucket now before it enters flower and then flip to 12 / 12 in a coupe of weeks. Maybe take off that lower growth with lollipop action (clean up bottom 1/3rd) to help her focus on the buds. That looks like a great potential harvest if she doesn’t run out of steam

as always - see what other opinions come in

I've been thinking about repoting and I don't want to do it. I will just let her grow for still 1 and half weeks and then i will switch to 12/12.. I don't know if seeds mixed but i will show you in below pic which seeds I have. I ordered 3 pack with each having 1 seed inside so I don't think that it has mixed. Also ya. Lollipop action. I'm gonna do it.

All that pack says is WSS skunk and the plus sign to indicate it’s feminized but it doesn’t say they are auto or photo. I’m kinda guessing these are photoperiods but time will tell.

Do you have nutes & cal-mag on hand? Cause in flower that plant.... at that size... is going to deplete the soil in a small container. Think you will get better harvest and have less trouble if you transplant to larger - that’s a monster in the making

 

[Purplehaze420x]

They need 12 weeks from start to finish. So could it be photoperiod?
I didn't give any nutes jet because soil by itself is really rich

Most seed vendors tell flowering time but that doesn’t include veg time. With photos I can veg for 2 weeks or 2 months depending on my goals, the longer I veg generally means a bigger harvest. But with autos they start flowering when they want to start - usually 3 weeks

Yes the soil is loaded to start with but the demands of this plant in flower are great. My question was do you have nutes and cal-mag already on hand? You don’t gotta have them today but you will need them soon, I’m only suggesting that you get started looking for nutes. Nutes are tricky cause some are for soil, some are for coco, hempy or hydro. Coco and soil are very different so don’t buy coco or hydro type nutes. What you want are nutes for soil. Most hardware store or lawn & garden nutes don’t work right for this crop. Nutes are N nitrogen, P Phosphorous and K Potassium then you still need calcium and magnesium or cal-mag. Very soon in flower mode the leaves on your plant will change colors to indicate problems or deficiencies... you will be back here asking why.

I think you are hoping the soil will be enough... I can tell you right now that soil is not going to carry you thru flower.

yes most likely that’s a photoperiod, you say 42 days right - that’s 6 weeks. No dice on auto

 

[Purplehaze420x]

I ordered this nutes. I hope it will be enough for her when she kicks into flowering. What do you think?

 

[013]

Most everyone has heard of advanced nutrients - they are a big outfit etc, but a quick search tells me that Flawless Finish is a flushing product. That’s the opposite of nutrients - that washes nutrients out of your soil or grow media

 

[Purplehaze420x]

Also I ordered this now. Because i think you are absolutely right!! It's far from flawless finish.

 

[013]

Ok cool but please understand, there are literally thousands of nutes and you have packagets etc. most do a 2 or 3 part basic nutrient pack but then there are other products offered by them for bloom enhancers or bud sweeteners, flushing products etc. I’ve never used a fraction of the different brands out there

the main thing is higher N lower pk for veg and lower n higher pk for flower, plus cal mag

 

[Purplehaze420x]

Okay!! Thank you. You are really helpful 
Also. I think it's photoperiod plant so, she is at week 6 now. I will keep her still into Veg untill day 60. Then i will switch to 12/12 lighting.
Thank you for all info and useful tips!

 

[013]

Cool... anytime! Hope you’ve got a tall space because most stretch taller in first few weeks of flower

 

[Purplehaze420x]

I have. I've made all pantry for my grow my mum was little against it but I have succeed :"")
As you can see. I can adjust lights higher with this metal stick that lights are attached to. When she grow taller of course
. Also I'm doing lollipop styling right now

 

[013]

You are all set then!

I transplanted her today into bigger pot. In my opinion final. 10 or 11L.. She is now 82cm tall. It said on seed info that it can reach max 120cm.
She has few white hairs popping out since 2 days. I will post more pics tomorrow after sleep time is over for her and also I've been feeding her with nutrients by every watering. Every 2rd day half of L in morning and another Half in evening. And also its been 1 week since i flipped lights on 12/12.
She had 8 weeks of vegging

Day 64. ( 1 week after switching to 12/12) She is showing little white hairs

Autoflowers are not on the same grow cycle as photos. They evolved in artic regions where daylight can be continuous for 24 hrs. If you take an autoflower and give it 24 hours of light its gonna grow fast as F to it's full size, trying to catch up to the environment (artificial) you've created.
When you switched the lights to 12/12 all you did was tell it times running out better hurry up, so now its throwing more pistols and stretching a little. Autos don't rely on 12/12 to flower or keep flowering once it does it flowers and it does it's own thing completely different than photo period plants.
If the pistols weren't there at all before you flipped the lights, yes it's a regular photo period and that's way longer than 12 weeks with its natural cycle.
@013 knows how you can force photos as he described, you dont have to follow that 5 to 6 month growing and maturing routine. "Veg" for 6 weeks and flip to 12/12 and another7- 8 weeks you're done if your trics are right.

 

[Purplehaze420x]

I was also thinking that is was auto but after 8 weeks of Vegative and no white hairs. I thought it's definitely photo plant.. And i was right. Only 1 week after switching lights white hairs stated to pop out. So it made me think. Why didn't i flip the lights more earlier. But okay.. She had her final stretch or its still going. In only 5 days she has grown from 65cm to 91cm.. From seed seller i have read that it can reach max 110-120cm. Also I'm feeding her with Basic nutrients. Mixing grow /micro/bloom.. I noticed a bit leaf curling on bottom so i will not give her any nutrients with next 3 or 4 waterings
