I have about 4 strains all growing together but they are preflowering slightly different and was curious if they are all female and if the nl/ssh hydrid is possibly auto flowering i am still on a 20 and 4 light schedule
I've only seen NL autos too. Like the man said, it isn't uncommon to see preflowers in the vegetative period. A lot of guys use that as a signal that they are ready for flowering.
If you are growing indoor, your yield is limited by your light's power. So vegging it for a shit ton of time isn't gonna help you at all. Also, those are probably photos unless stated otherwise, but any strain can be an auto. Just breed a photo plant "n" with some ruderalis and call the seeds autoflower "n."
He's right - be prepared to be able to effectively light a plant twice the size of the final veg size of the plant cause it will pretty much double in size from when you flip to 12/12 until the end of the run. If you don't have the light to adaquetly cover the plant you'll get a shitty yield with airy buds.
I don't know what bushmaster is, if it's a nute that doesn't do shit. Again, you're limited by your LIGHT'S power. Not what you feed or how you train your plant. If you wanted, you grow vertically and allow for some more vegging time, but your plant wants to flower now. Let it.
