Random seed, auto flwr?

Is there anyway to determine from growth or anything to tell if you are growing an autoflower strain?

they start flowering??

Auto flowering usually doesn't need to be switched to 12/12. They will bloom without it, that's why they're called automatic.

Oh yes I know but what I was asking was, was there a way of knowing
Like if I gave u 5 seeds n said idk wtf they are they came from some good bud I smoked. Was it a way of telling as it is growing?

I would reccomend that you try and clone them and in a seperate lighting system to the original plants reate the light to be on for 12 hours and of for 12 hours then you can see if any cylaxes form in 1-4 weeks .
if cylaxes form you got photo's if not the congrats you got yourself some perft autos for outdoor gurelia grows either way you still get some bud.
