I didn't get your question,

If you are worried about interruption while still in vegg then that's no problem... Tho try your best to give em darkness.

When you decide to put em to flower then interruption/ light leaks is a big issue.

Yes it will,

you can force a plant if it's young to show pre flowers when a few weeks old

or you could veg a month or two until it's mature like yours to show pre flowers.

I'm no pro, but that's my understanding of basic growing.

Look it up on Google if it makes you feel better mate. When MJ plants mature in veg they either give you balls or those lovely sensi pistils.

Don't worry about your English lol I can't spell to save my life:bigjoint:. And hope this explains it better

Usually a cannabis plant will show sex around 37-46 days after sprouting, without doing the 12/12 light cycle, if you have a few light leaks along the edges of the grow tent or closet grow, it will be fine, just do not open the doors while the lights are off, or when its time for their dark cycle. One led is sufficient enough of up to 6 plants under a 300w led. I am currently growing 6 plants in a 3x3 tent and they are exploded, dont assume all led model lights are lame and will yield you little bud, i yielded 6 ounces off of my 300w GalaxyHydro full spectrum led(135w actual power used), it's just hype cause people are used to old school technology(HID), they're not wanting to switch over to new technology grows imho.

This is my current grow, mostly 3 gallon pots, photoperiods plants are in 5 gallon pots. In the back we have two Blueberrie autos from dutch passion on the left, an ultimate auto from dutch passion on the back right side, on the front left side is my photoperiod plant, OG Kush from Dinafem(im currently topping with a total of 36 tops) in the middle was my Critical Auto from Dinafem(she's finished now and out of tent), and the front right side is a blueberry automazar from Dutch Passion. Hope you like them.

Usually when you order seeds, the company does advertise whether it is an Autoflower or not. Usually it will show like this "Auto Ultimate" Or have the word "Auto" after the name of the strain. Autoflowering genetics come from the Ruderalis strain, that is what makes your cannabis plant automatic.

i buy ak47 12/12 serious seed on "seed city", i planted three plants ak47 on 10th Oct. I use a LED plant light for 20 hours a day, today i check them out and they ard had a flower bud, did i do something wrong? why my 12/12 become auto flower, did i need go to complaint?please help me everybody~~
Yup. Pre-flowers. Its kind if like a plant going through puberty. If you veg a photo long enough, they will show you
"Yīndào or Yīnjīng". They will not further flower and pre-stretch untill the light cycle gets lower usually anywhere from 11-13hrs.

They're not twigs. It's the way of the photo was taken. Hating cause you probably suck at growing autos huh.
Never grown one was looking into it but a few said it's better in greenhouse, I am in England tho. Your plants have stretched allot mate what's your temperatures.
I didn't mean no harm or abuse I defoliate and mine look like twigs apart from my latest grow and seeing better growth without defoliation. So far any way lol
But I ain't hating I'm asking mate I'm a very cheery uppy stoner so no beef... Just allot of chicken :bigjoint:

I raised my led to the very top of my tent cause one of my strains were light sensitive, i've came across the runt of the family of seeds(my ultimate), but the stretching has stopped in the past week and the nodes are spaced at 5" apart with 9 sets of nodes total on the blueberries. The ultimate is supposed to get very tall in 5 gallon pots, especially if grown in buckets like i did here cause i ran out pots and there's no hydro store here in barrow alaska to purchase. My temps been fluctuating from 78-72 with lights on and drops down to 64 with lights off. Its rather cold here and growing under led is kind of tricky cause the cold weather makes a big difference. Its always around -30 everyday. So i turn my thermostat up a few degrees to help me stay in my range. I would like to have a greenhouse, but the outside temps here would kill the autos even in the summer time, summer temps are usually 34ish-40ish average.

Your light schedule is no problem and a female or male plant once hits maturitythey grow ball or pistils... Nothing to worry about.
And what I said above about the dark period is that you cannot have a light leak on vegg my plants on vegg get interrupted daily basis, but the flowering room you can't afford to get a light leak...
But that's when you put your plants on 12/12, I would not worry at all unless lots of budds appear then yh it's an auto-flower. But just pistils is no problem
I thought I would post a photo of a male (Balls) for the original poster to compare in the future.

Now now, you posted a pic showing what your LED has done and to be honest they are pretty twiggy lol. But they are fine, some strains are kind stretched out and yours are possibly that strain. Wondering if grown under hid would have made a difference in the growth?

Nah. Its the strain, i've grown the blueberries under hid before i've gotten this led back in january. Its kind of a stretchy strain when it starts flowering
