Happy frog soil 800 watt hps light. These things are 28 days old and no sex tho they are stretching like they are. How long without pistils before I get concerned?

Autos can have anywhere from 2-5 weeks of veg time. If they are stretching they should show pestils in the next week 10days.
Sometimes the auto gene dose not take. If you don't see ant sex single in another 10days just drop your lights time to 12/12 bc you got a photo

You must be running dual 400s. I did it that way years ago. Always did a great job for me. Bummer to hear about the auto. I am new to automatic seed. I have 8 growing and luckily this hasn't happened to me...yet. I am sure it will somewhere down the road.
Prob just a rouge photo bean. I'd clone the girl and use her for a photo grow just to see what it really is. Could be a winner.

Yea I got the one in the back to flower but these girls are almost 4 foot tall at 34 days old no pistils if it’s an auto it’d be 8ft after stretch! I am indeed running two 400!

Some autos are sometimes called "Super Autos" a lot of super autos have very long veg times and get you sizable plants comparable to some photos. Problem is they don't hold the auto gene as stable as typical varieties and dwarfs and are sometimes actually photos that require 12/12.

Surprised no one is curious what strain you're running. Unless I read over it.

I've grown auto's almost exclusively for about 4 years now. I wouldn't start to worry it's a photo period until around day 45. If you don't see any signs by day 50 from seed breaking ground I'd be thinking it's a photo. I personally like it when my auto's go to day 30+ before showing.

What strain and breeder is this ? You need to be fussy with where you're getting your auto's from. Only a hand full of breeders do auto's right IMO.

I'd throw a milk crate or something under your plant on far left and get it's top closer in line with your others. That one going to end up stretching to reach the light

Are you in a tent or anything? Don't look like you got reflective walls on any side. That light will dissipate really fast past the very tops
