Progress report... How's it look?

Let it be clear that I AM TOO CHICKEN to grow myself. That said I have a friend who is not. He got some good bag seed, some CFL's, and gardening basics together and gave it a try. We've been doing research and he says his next grow will be even better but that has yet to be seen!

Anyways, I want to know your opinions on this bag seed specimen.
It is 32 days old (all 3 seeds were female) and ahead of its two peers by about 5 of its 14 inches.
The soil was pre-fertilized but he plans on adding nutrients later in the beginning of flowering.
They have 4 30W 5,500K bulbs @~4,500 lumens and for now 1 80W 2,500K bulb @2,800 lm.
Lights were 24's first week or two then 18/6's up till today, day 32.

What is up with all the preflowers? He used a magnifier and there are basically no trichomes but my guess is because these are indeed preflowers. There is concern that it has slipped into an early flower but the light has NEVER been on less than 16 hours.
Another plant is also showing but not nearly this much, the third is a slow little runt!

those are "pre-big-flowers"...

you're past the pre-flowers stage, might be an auto-strain (reason it's flowering in 16hrs of light)

I agree if you are sure about your light schedule.

I don't want to start a duplicate thread... BUMP!

I would really like some more definite feedback other than "might" or "maybe"

The light schedule is absolute, no less than 16 hours EVER.

Then it must be an autoflower. You'll get to smoke her sooner.

yeah those are autos i wish i found some auto bag seeds haha

ya pretty big pre flowers to me too does look like an auto strain lucky for u should be done isooner than later now

It sucks though. You can't clone now that it's flowering so it is at a near dead and smokable end. There were two more seeds not germinated so there is some hope. It seems sad because something long term was planned.

So, is it really the end?
Advice???

Yep its over. Auto flowers are good but man it kinda sucks losing the ability to veg as long as you would like. Hopefully you weren't planning a scrog or sog grow.

Sorry so long with no update. It looks like root rot or mold took them out. The roots were small and mushy. Maybe he over watered them.

This is good bye from me. I never wanted to get involved in this from the get go. My plant science background helped and I enjoyed learning new things in the process.

However, due to current laws I am out for good. Some plant isn't worth my freedom. It is a shame it must be that way, our country and its law enforcement are an embarrassment. The war on drugs/people costs so much more than money and has no end in sight.

Thanks to those that helped!

its ok even though it did start flowering cause autoflowers you cant clone anyway so cloning it would have just wasted your time

im sorry for your loss
