ILGM Fem'd Black Widow showing early pistols

Hey ya'll

I'm on grow #3 right now, doing a mainlining scrog method. These babies are 44 days from germination and topped 3 times (more like 2.5). My buddy and I are doing side-by-side grows with the same seeds and this is the only one out of the 6 that is showing pistols this early.

Now I know that auto's grow super fast an do not like HST at all, but in my short time growing I haven't had a plant showing sex this early.

Is it possible this seed is an auto that got accidentally thrown in the photoperiod pile? If not, what does a plant showing sex this early mean?

I should note plants were slow to start due to going straight from germ to 5 gallon pots but also because our environment was unstable early.

ILGM Black Widow Fem'd
Promix HP / Dr. Earth 4-4-4 (probably gone by now) / EWC
Dechlorinated tap water - pH 7 out of tap - checked every few days
Feeding some 10-6-4. Early veg I was doing feeding every other watering, then started doing it based on how the plant looked.
Mars Hydro TSL2000 - 20 inches 35%
Temp - Day 73-77 / Night 67-71
Day 44 from germ


Any help is apprecaited, thanks!

its highly doubtable that an auto got in with the photo seeds, they should be packaged in seperate areas. you may just have a pheno that shows early
i cant see any preflowers in the photo, just the little blade that grows where the first pre flowers will appear

44 days they should be showing even if it’s a photo.

While this is true, I have seen claims of people getting the accidental auto every now and then with some seed banks. Thank you for your answer though, would be nice if all phenos showed this early!

I'd say these are more like 30-35 days - they were delayed early on due to environment issues and going straight from seed to 5 gal. Actual days are 44. But good to know for the future man, thanks!



1 luv ya'll
