I have a white widow not sure if it is a auto flowering or not. I know when I got the seeds they where feminized. But I didnt buy auto flowering? I am seeing what looks like hairs and didnt change the light yet. The plant is by far way to small for me to start to flower. What should I do?
Flowering under 18/6?

Ive never grown white widow but a lot of strains will show their sex in 18/6 at about the 5th week of vegging...

If you didn't buy the 'auto' version, then their not auto flowering.
secondly, you can not flower a plant under 18/6. Not possible.
good luck!
peace.

I think yer confusing the plant showing signs of sex with flowering. I'm growing white widows now and they ALL showed little white hairs before I started the flowering process, If they are not autos and they are in 18/6 light, yer fine, just like Guru said man. No worries

I think your confused as well..
what your seeing.. (I think..) what your seeing is the 'preflowers' possibly..
If a plant is kept in veg. cycle long enough.. sometimes cannabis will begin to show preflowers even under 18/6 schedule.
If this is the case, then I would just go ahead and switch the plant(s) over to 12/12 and start flowering them. I mean, if they're in veg cycle
and they're showing preflower.. or signs of preflowering.. then thats the plants way of telling you, "hey, I'm ready! Put me under 12/12 please!"
Good luck either way man..
peace.

yeah its time to switch to 12/12....Once it preflowers, Its time...
Ya that sucks I just toped the stupid thing I will never top another plant ever in my life!! Or wait this long to do it I figured it was small enough to do it. Its only on its 6th true set of leafs. I was told not to do it till then so thats why I waited but I dont think I will ever do it again because of this. Upsetting really.....
I would like maybe another week of vegging I just dont wanna turn it gay lol

It'is just a pre flower, topping is cool if you want to keep it on the short side.... let the bitch veg, give her a chance to recover from topping. you did all well... sepen I don't see how your so sure you have a female? does it have pistols?
did you buy fem seeds? you can spend $40.00/$70.00 EA on doggies nut and not be sure....good luck in your grow though.

you top a plant right before you flower it whats the problem. even though you thought you did it wrong it ended up being the right thing to do. i would never top a plant in veg cycle only lst it.
when you put your plant into flower it will stretch and grow 1.5-3 times its size. where you topped it will produce 2 bud sites instead of one the same time it stretches so it save time.
