Auto or not? Flip or not?

Hello!

Since my last two skunk autos, one of them made seeds.

Currently I am growing two of these seeds indoors, and also, threw around 6 seeds in the garden and they all had a 100% successful germination rate.

My question, and I would greatly appreciate any input, the two indoor plants are exactly 34 days old (counting from germination) around 3.5 weeks in Veg, should I flip the light schedule (18/6) t (12/12) or are they automatics? I'm asking because somehow they look bushier and bigger than their parent, (I'm scared if they double in size I wont have the space) Aaand they have pistols everywhere, "pre-flower". I know it's very early to flip, but check the pictures.

BTW, the auto parents went in flowering in around the third week.

I have a feeling they are autos, just want to get any input?

Thaaaaaaanks :weed: :dunce:

Don't grow seeds from plants that grew seeds.... you're just supporting a poor genetic trait and they will hermie themselves. Start again from good seeds....

You might get lucky.... they should be auto... but can't guarantee that.

Yeah, but I can't get any seeds where I live right now, so I thought I try them out :D. And I am kind of curious as to the quality of the seeds and so on.
They do look like they will flower regardless whether I flip or not. So, I guess, it's better to leave them on their current light cycle.:eyesmoke:

No reason not to flip. You'll save a bit of money on light and AC, and you will reinforce the flowering.

And plants grow a bit faster in the dark. Give them dark time.

@testtime, if they were to be autos, wouldn't a change in the light cycle increase the chances hermaphrodite rate? And would it decrease quality/quantity?

Don't listen to the noise outside of the garden, just take care of your ladies and they will take care of you. If that is all you got to work with you can make it amazing. People always tell me I can't do this or that and then I do and laugh. I grew a whole hydro tray without phing one time and tossed tap water and 1/8th strength nutes once a week. Not one person who smoked it said anything bad they just wanted more.
