hey all, anyone know how long auto-flowering strains pre-flower...so if I have a doubt on an auto AK-47's gender (outdoors), do I have to move quicker than usual?
thanks in advance to all who answer...

thanks for the info! But I was more asking about the duration of the pre-flowering period. Since the overall seed to bud time is so short, it makes sense that once flowering comes on it would go quickly - I have another plant flowering close enough that if I let this one go too long, and it is a male, it will pollinate. But if its not a male, I don't want to yank too soon for sure. I've seen what appears to be male pre-flowers, but on closer inspection also see some signs of femininity - so just trying to figure out how often to check and how much time I can play with.
