is it auto-flowering strain? i don't think it is, cause the leaves are very slender like sativa. it has at least 8 sites of tons of flowers some with 3 pistal (sp?)

If you're growing outside,

Your plant will not wait until the days are 12hrs long and then 'snap' into flowering. "12/12" is a purely indoor technique and has no bearing whatsoever on outdoor growing.

You, along with most other outdoor growers if you took time to glance at the outdoor growing forum, are beginning the flowering stage.

Good luck with the rest of your grow. The hardest part is behind you!

That being said...

Indoor growers who go 12/12 from seed experience a couple weeks of growth before the plant 'catches on' that it is time to flower and starts showing sex. I would imagine there would be a similar phase outdoors where the plant 'realizes' the days are getting shorter fast and it has to do it's thing. Don't expect it to get taller than 10" or so before pistil development (assuming female) starts.

my little girl is inside under 18 hours, 400w MH. Its pretty young but has many clusters of preflowers that are kinda big, not huge.

Oh. How old is it? There are usually distinguishable pre-flowers by the fifth node or so. They come on with age, not just light change, that's why they are called preplowers, because they appear prior to the flowering stage.

yeah its probably just a good strain. its sisters only have approx. 5 preflowers ea. and this one has many sites with at least 10 a site. males dont seem to show preflowers as soon. im going to flower the males with cfl.

the only reason i want to flower the males is because they are from very quality bud. i want there pollen.
