No budy but brown hairs

Hi it's my first and only plant I ever had, I did buyed a Green Galato autoflower from RQS
from 3 plants only one hit the spot, and now it's like 8 weeks of indoor growing, it's look like this -> Problem is I don't know how to understand the whole flowering process, I changed lighting process from 18-6 to 12-12 but finally good weather come and sun start shininh and just this week (2 days) flower start growing more than whole week ago, there is no buds and leafs still grows but that white Hairs (trichomes I guess it's english name) starting to turn brown (jantar) but there is berely any bud there. What now ?

I dont grow autos but do know they dont require a light schedule change to flower hence the name autoflower. Most imo go with 18 -6 ,20-4 and even 24

The white hairs are pistols the actual flowers or buds are what the pistols grow out of, trichomes are the tiny crystals on the leafs. As they mature the pistols turn brown and the bud swells. You really need to just read about the plants and the growth process. Your a little ahead of yourself

Ok I get it, but pistils are growing out of flat leaf there is no bud on whole flower, but on the top of the flower they are slightly brown pistils growing out of something that could be bud cover in leafs, so should I stay with 18 hours of light ?

Yeah autos don’t need reduced light time. I circled your buds they form more at maturity I think the brown pistols might be stress or maybe hermie but I can’t tell. You will have to trim off the leafs after the plant dries. Just start reading through the grow journals and look at what people are doing in their grow. Don’t buy any expensive seeds until you get more knowledge, you just need to read about growing some.
