Flowering under 18/6?

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?

Sad part is I just toped it yesterday like a retard!! I had no idea a plant could just flower with out changing light. I understand the auto flowering but I though that was also left under a 12/12 from seed. Here is a picture..

Its been growing about 5 weeks, just kinda short if you ask me and its in the same soil as the other ones. Fox Farm Ocean Forest. This is only one week behind the other one. The bigger one is flowering I just put the little one next to it to show you what it looks like.

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 know you cant but what im asking is why is it flowering already. I understand that the light changes everything. But why start to flower now under 18/6 its just confusing me should I put it with my other flowering plant now?

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.

No on the top parts are white hairs I just cant take pics camera sucks. There are 4 2 on each side of the top nod and they are showing white hairs, 2 hairs in each pistol. I am confused really!! Thats no doubt.

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.....

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.
