No they look good. First part of flowering is stretching and producing bud sites.

I doubt they're autos if they haven't flowered within 7 weeks.
Good looking plants.

So what do you recommend give them a couple more weeks then if nothing change the lights there is white pistols popping up

Forrest9419 · Oct 24, 2020

This is 1 days growth

MickFoster · Oct 24, 2020

Personally I would switch to 12/12......but it's your call.
Good luck.

What if they do turn out to be autos and I’ve switched to 12/12 what would happen

If you’ve had them for 7 weeks and they aren’t even showing signs of sex then those are photos. Flip to 12/12 and get em going.

Nothing will happen other than they might be a bit smaller.
If you're concerned about it then just wait a couple of weeks.
7 weeks is a long time for an auto to still not be in flower.

Forrest9419 · Oct 24, 2020

So what are the white hairs

MickFoster · Oct 24, 2020

Show us a close up of the nodes just below the top.
If it's just a few at this age.......they're just preflowers.
If there are clusters (which I don't see in your pics) it's in flower.

You're not in flower.......just preflowers.

Forrest9419 · Oct 24, 2020

So how will I know if they are autos or not

MickFoster · Oct 24, 2020

Dude......you can either wait if you like or you can switch to 12/12......it's your call.
You know my opinion and Macncheesehaze"s.

Forrest9419 · Oct 24, 2020

So if I switch them to 12/12 now how long should it take to start seeing flowers and if I don’t see flowers should I switch them back to 18/6 I just want to be careful incase they fuck up

MickFoster · Oct 24, 2020

You already have pre flowers and the plant is 7 weeks old, so it won't take long for them to start forming clusters.
If you decide to switch to 12/12.......don't even think about switching back to 18/6.
Good luck.

Forrest9419 · Oct 24, 2020

Should I defoliate or not before I switch ?

MickFoster · Oct 24, 2020

I don't defoliate at one time......I remove leaves almost daily.......a few at a time to keep it thinned out a little. I do remove the growth on the bottom third of the plant......leaves and small grow tips that won't make it to the canopy.
