Those are just the plants stipules, and they were definitely already there. One accidental stint in the dark isn't gonna hurt your plants. It looks like your plants may be showing sexual maturity so it should start flowering soon, but without knowing the strain or seeing better pictures it's hard to say with any certainty.

They lied. That plant, or at least the parts in the pic arent showing preflowers.
You likely have 60 days or more from here

Is your autoflower ready to flower? You'll have to ask the plant. Autoflowers flower when they decide to flower.

Of course they lied.

It's all marketing. They can sell more seeds if they claim that they finish in 60 days. Here's the description from the website.

"The strain finishes super fast in around 60 days from seed."

That's just ridiculous. If that plant is 4 weeks and hasn't started flowering then it's going to be much longer than 60 days from seed. I don't believe anything regarding growing cannabis or cannabis related products. Too many false claims and outright lies. And especially with seeds. There are no standards or regulations. I believe that some of the breeders/banks out there are selling the same strains under multiple names. It's a really shady industry.

I know it. The seed to finish time on every auto i have seen is extremely optimistic.

Breeders lie ... plants run on their own time both regs and autos

Seedbanks lie even more.

Kinda figured no biggie tho I’ll wait I waited 4 weeks already but do u think she looks healthy and will begin soon ? @Budzbuddha @xtsho growing only Mephisto after this I got 25 seeds on hand

And the worst thing about it is that there are some people go by those times and mark their harvest date on the calendar. Then you see a post asking why their weed doesn't get them high and smells like hay. It's really a disservice to people that spend their hard earned money on seeds. Some breeders are honest and provide a realistic expectation of how long until harvest but unfortunately most don't. I've even seen some seedbanks changing the flowering times from what the breeder states on their own website. For instance, ACE Seeds states 14 - 20 weeks for their Old Timers Haze. I've seen them available at seedbanks where they state 11 + weeks.

I can't tell you from those pictures when those plants will start flowering. But as for health they look rather rough. They are not critical but you want to figure out why they are so droopy and blotchy looking. What are you feeding?

Will they make it ? Idk what I do wrong what should my next move be

 

[Smokeythebear1100]

I water every day but not till there’s run off I water till run off 1 time a week but I only feed 2 times a week what should I do to help my plants ?

 

[Budzbuddha]

They will make it .... double check your “ actual “ ph going in regardless of that PH perfect bullshit.

Stop watering“ everyday “ ... you stifle the roots - since they stay soaked it impedes oxygen exchange. Water ONLY as needed , that way you can see how quickly ( in days ) your plants are actually drinking.

Should I water till water comes out the bottom every time ?

How do I fix the droopy bunched up leaves

 

[Budzbuddha]

Also , remember autos hate complicated feeds , it will only take what needs to keep pushing forward , it doesn’t have the luxury of time to process heavy nute loads ... old saying : Once you pop them , you cannot stop them.

I am willing to bet medium is holding a lot of unused nute loads because you keep loading it every couple days ... IMO your ph is being affected too because ( brown spot ) you continue to Leach medium ( watering to runoff “ everytime “ ) .

Give your watering a wider time between...
Dont keep drenching it till runoff. Try this , water half the amount you do ... THEN see how many days it takes before they want more. Lift pots to check .

 

[Boatguy]

Not sure what you are growing in, but in straight promix with gh nutes i had good luck with the water water feed regimen.
Barely ever watered till runoff.
@Budzbuddha gave you some good advice there. Watering every day is a no-no

 

[Budzbuddha]

If you keep medium over saturated... you will never know how well they ACTUALLY are drinking.

Autos only need enough feed , water for a lousy 90 days ( + or - ) so by that thinking alone should tell you less is more.
