It’s got a bit to go. You’ll see the pistils start to turn colour and recede. The best way is to buy a 60x magnifier and check the trichomes.
By the way, my first grow was an auto flower and I never made it to harvest. You’re doing really well.

aye mate cheers a thought autos would be easiest option to grow, alot harder than i thought haa! mainly had problems with temps and stunted growth. Oh n deficensys .First few weeks i fukd around way too muchm seems to have filled out a bit now an recovered slightly.but now leaves are dying off and ive snipped away at big fan leaves so the sites at the bottom can grow. Should i keep feeding nutrient mix at this stage or jst water?

^lol no. You got a few weeks+ on that thing. Do you know about how long ago it started flowering? Generally breeder times are not to be paid attention to.

What? Not sure what you asking but you cannot actually 'make' a plant female or male otherwise companies would not be selling feminized seeds - This info is stored genetically in the seed.

Stress can cause a plant to have both male & female flowers and some people would also say that if seeds are stored and germinated in particular conditions then you are almost sure to get females. Never tried and cannot confirm this but what is sure is at the stage your lady is in, then there is nothing you can do to 'make' it a female. Just sit back, cross fingers and watch out for them white protruding pistils!

How old is the plant?
With an auto you should start seeing pistils after 4 / 5 weeks - Takes longer for photos in my experience.

This is how mine looks like (pics taken last weekend) - It is a royal haze auto and the first day of light for the lady was on 21 June when she finally broke the surface and i think i am still a couple of weeks away. Checked the trichomes a couple of days earlier and i still have about 40% clear and 60% milky.

Ok what do you use mate somthin like kind soil water only? Or your own organic mix? I would be going the organic route but used what i had to hand. Jst a closet grow with absolute basics. wana finish this then try hydro. This was my first go at growing anything! But i know i can do better next time round.
