Question about plant age

Hello there!

I planted a couple of feminised auto-flowering white widow plants like 4 weeks ago. The problem is that I don't know when I was supposed to start counting their age. Now I find myself with two plants that have different size, and I don't know when I should change to a 12/12 cycle and a bloom bulb. Just in case someone can help me identify the current status of the plants, here are a couple of pictures.



Thank you very much in advance!!!

You don't have to put those in 12/12, that's why their called auto's. You can change the bulb whenever you want. If the age question is what I think your asking, wait till they start to pistol up and then start counting. That is if you are inquiring about how long to flower them.

Well the question was more like when are they entering the flowering phase. I have a blooming light bulb and some flowering nutrients but I don't know exactly when I should use them.

you start using the nutes when u see pistils and a preflower if ur referring to nutes during flowering......in the meantime as jointed has stated they are 'auto's' which means u dont have to mess with ur light cycle their will mature and flower when their genetics tell them too

You can let your plants stay in veg as long as you like, if they are photos. Whenever you decide to flip to 12/12, that's when you need to start counting days. Check with your breeder about finish time. Indicas usually finish around 2 months, and Sativa will generally take about 3. Remember when you flip - you should expect your plants to "stretch" a bit. Some Sativa strains can stretch up to 26 inches during flower.

Since these plants are autos, they will flower no matter how much light you give them. Meaning, they'll still flower without a dark period. Give them as much light as you can.

Thanks for your replies. I'll add the nutes as soon as I see the first pistils. For the light I've got mixed feelings - there are people that say that I should give them 12/12 and people that, as you, tell me that I shouldn't touch it. I think I'm just going to change the light bulb and leave them in 18/6...

If they are true auto's leave them at 18

Autos do not veg, they go straight from seedling to flowering stage. That's also why autos can't be cloned. No veg state. BigSteve.

It's called auto cause you don't nd to change lights schedule

hi there. I dont think so that you will need to do the 12/12 cycle. thats why the are called autoflowering.
