New Grower Is this considered flowering???

[MD to NC]

Wanted to know if this is considered flowering or pre-flower. Want to know if I should switch to flower nutes or continue veg until upward growth stops. Easy Ryder auto day 21. Thanks for your help

Those would be considered pre flowers. She won't go into full bloom until vertical growth stops, so keep her on veg nutes until then. While in pre flower the buds won't grow much, so don't be concerned. Once vertical grow stops and you switch nutes, the buds will grow rapidly.

Ok cool. I read your thread: "The life cycle of auto flowering cannabis". Makes perfect sense, I will continue to follow that guide. Thanks a lot Muddy![h=1][/h]

I must put in my 2 cents. at 3 weeks I do a mini flush followed by flowering nutes. full strength. I been doing the fast and vast and get an average of 4 ounces a plant this way.s

not saing muddy is wrong just how I do it.

Might get 5 zips per plant if you let em veg a little longer, to week 5-6, when vertical growth slows or stops, then you will get the most out of your auto's. Proven, tried and true!! Never know if ya dont try it. This is autos 101, Give this a read...

If you keep them on veg nutes until vertical growth stops you will get an increase in yield. We've proven this over hundreds, if not thousands of grows here on AFN. It's not unusual to get growth of 1 to 1 1/2" per day during weeks 4-6 when they are kept on veg nutes. Give it a try on your next grow and I think you will see a big difference.

That's right where I'm at, 5 weeks in 2 days. Growth of an inch a day, presex hairs showing their smile. So I should stay on veggie nutes for another week before switch to 12/12 and flower nutes ..??..

Yes, veg nutes until vertical growth stops. More info about that here: https://www.autoflower.org/f44/life-cycle-auto-flowering-cannabis-5113.html.

Unless you are also flowering some photo sensitive plants along with your autos, I would suggest keeping your lights at a 20/4 or 18/6 schedule. At 12/12 you can bring them to maturity but your yield will be reduced.

So if I got this right I can leave the 18/6 schedule and never go 12/12?
