Is This an autoflower ?
If not, it doesnt matter how old it it, its the ammount of light per day it receives that determines if its flowering.
If it is, then i honestly have 0 experience with autos.
no its not auto flower, can u tell from photos if it is at flowring stage? people are saying 100% polinated because the white 2 pistols are out so if pollen hits it it will be polinated? can u tell if at flowring stage i thought it is?
i am sorry to bother you again, someone said it is not at flowring stage so can not be polinated can u advise?

Pollination isn't a process that takes over the whole plant. Pollination only happens on pistils that are exposed. Even if it was next to a male plant that dropped pollen, only the exposed buds will seed. I pollenate single buds or branches all the time. It doesn't effect the rest of the plant! Those are not preflowers, you are flowering. Since using such a small light, you don't have much pistil production yet. My advise would be to add about 3-4 more bulbs if insistent on running cfls. Really though look into a cheap LED light or go with MH/HPS. Also like set above when pistils become pollinated they turn brown and wither. Another thing is pollen is killed by water. After I pollenated certain bud sites for crosses I douse the whole plant. So even if that male dropped pollen, the only places that will have buds with seeds are the sites that are already visible. Many more bud sites will pop up as your plant flowers. Those would not be pollenated unless you have pollen floating around or don't clean your area after pollen has dropped. Hope this clears it up

people that act like a lil pollen in the air ruins everything have no idea what they're talking about, and have prolly never even chucked pollen or they would know better. I keep a pollen vault in fridge and make crosses a lot and have never had pollen go anywhere but where I put it. People really make it out to be a lot scarier than it really is. I've had plants herm before and only seed some other buds in the tent. Entire plants next to them, with only seeds here and there. You'll be fine.
I am not so sure that the buds wont be as good. I am not saying that they will be, but I have never noticed a discernable difference in the buds I seed and the buds I dont.
thanks for advise mate.

auto blubery
auto cheese

thanks so much i hope i am not bothering you with questions.
i promise last question, so sorry once again, is it safe to buy seeds on line? and from where i am based uk,
I personally do not grow autos. I have smoked 1 auto that I thought was pretty decent, not great, but decent.
The other autos I have smoked have been pretty shitty IMO.
