Hello im pretty new to growing. This is my second time growing. Anyways a friend gave me a seed.. it’s supposed to be a strawberry cough auto… im growing it in an aerogarden but im using a marshydro ts600 light 18/6. It is the end of day 35. Im kinda wondering what i should do with her. She has very small calyx (like the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen) i can see very tiny hair coming from some with the help of magnifying. Should she already be flowering by now? Should i switch the lights to 12/12?? Also i have only been lsting her. Should i also defoliate her any? Ive done some leaf tucking to help some new branches catch up to the others but im not sure if its helping. Im kinda just looking for some tips and opinions for how i should do things so she does well.

Welcome to RIU
That plant doesn't appear to be a beginner effort

Your plant your decision based on your research not ...opinions :hug:

Doesn't look lie a beginner to me as well and besides that an auto flower at 35 days at that size but ok.

If it is an auto always keep it on 18/6 otherwise you will lose yield and flowering can take up to 30% longer as well.

Im not sure if shes an auto. I was just told she was when i was gave the seed. Actually another question how long should i wait to actually see if she is an auto before just assuming shes a photo and switching to 12/12?

On average auto's begin to flower within 2-4 weeks after germination.
Grew like 7 different auto strains before and all of them started flowering in/or before the 4th week.
