Gonna need a better picture of the node area that is more clear. Also they looked stretched, probably need more light.

Are those automatics? I don't know anything about automatics.
If not and they are under 12/12 light, it should take 14 days max to see clearly what sex the plants have.

Please excuse my inexperience and except my apologies but I don't know what automatics are.. As far as my light I am giving it about 14 to 18 hours of light. And from what I've read the plant is long and lanky. Mainly its under a 300 wat light bulb its pretty warm and also on the bottom I have 120 wat plant light facing up into it.. I've been carefull though I've burn a couple plants in the past.. But I'm trying use the lighting that it best seems to respond to.. Ty friend

What kind of bulb is that?
Looks like a spot light bulb.
I'd HIGHLY recommend replacing those with one or two 200w CFLS or 4-8 50w cfls.
Cfls are much cooler than those, that would make sense why you keep burning plants. It's the bulbs
200w Cfls you can place 4 inches away from plant foliage with a fan running to maximize light. Light dims down exponentially with distance so right now your plant might have 420w of light shining on it but it's only receiving a fraction of that.
Also consider putting that plant in a cabinet or some other smaller area that you can wrap with mylar or paint flat white to better reflect light back towards the paint instead of wasting it on coats and shoes or whatever else is in that closet.

BTW, autos are plant that can automatically flower without changing light schedual.
A consistent light schedual is very important, you shouldn't be giving it "about 14 to 18 hours" of light, you need to be giving it exactly 18 hours of light for veg or exactly 12 hours of light for flower. This also has to constantly be the same on/off time every day. You can accomplish this by using a simple timer.

Ty very much legalize.. I'm not exactly sure the type but I think its some kind of heating bulb i got it home depot was the biggest bulb I've ever seen that fits into a normal bulb size socket.. What u don't see in the pic in is next to I have 6x6 reflecting strip but it gets really hot right away I don't wanna over heat or suffocate it considering its in a closet. But I am getting a fan within the couple days for better ventilation

Here is a 200w cfl you can easily get on amazon, not sure if you can get in stores

Make sure it's "actual wattage" not the equivalent wattage

Yeah ty very much buddy actually just ordered that exact same ones 2 of the bottom I'm not tryna be a cheap ass but I'm still kind of an expiremental grower. And I've invested already hundred into the gear I have I'm kinda just tryna prove to myself that I can do it for future seasons then I can really invest when I do at least 5 or 6 great plants.. Will 2 of those bottom ones be enough for this one plant or would u say 4?

If you train your plant two would be fine to practice growing and still get some bud

You ever heard of LST (low stress training)?
Or if you really want to experiment you could try to ScrOG (screen of green)
Training makes it easier to spread light on all the leaves more evenly so the top doesn't get more light than the bottom and make an uneven plant

Another thing I forgot to mention is from about 3 pm to about 7 pm I have the plant up onmy dresser top with 2 house llamps and then I wrap it with the reflecting strips. I'm not 100 percent sure but I do believe these r CFLs??? But I'm noticing the plant doesn't to this set up

That's a cfl but a very small one, why do you put it under house lamps? What reflective strips?
I would recommend keeping the plant in one spot with the same lights for 18 hours straight then 6 hours in complete darkeness
