pistils before 5 finger leaves.What will come of my autos?

[flonmofo]

I planted 5 Auto Great White Shark Seeds and planned on doing a seed run. Only 2 of the seeds seemed well formed(i think i got the last of the seeds from the seedbank) and only those 2 sprouted propperly. Through a series of crappy circumstances the Seedlings have had a very rough start to life. Indoors, outdoors, storms, no light for 2 days and overwatering. It really is amazing they are still alive. They halted growth on their 2nd set of leaves for weeks and I had actually given up on them. With nothing to lose i put them back outside and left them. Now they are doing quite well. The new growth seems to be a picture of good health and they look better every day. They are at least 4 weeks old but clearly extreemly stunted. They have been growing again for about a week now, I think they are on their 3rd node.

THe strange thing is: They dont have 5 finger leaves yet but they have started to flower. See the Pestles in the pic? On both of them so im guessing they are both female.

What do the auto experts think will come of these girls? Any chance they will hermie due to stress and self polinate? Will i be that lucky?

They will clearly only end up very small plants but how small? Only double what they are now? 1gram ish each? lol

Flonmofo,

Your picture's link is broken. From what I've seen and read it is critical to have good growing conditions early. Since yours didn't have a chance to grow much structure before flowering they aren't likely to do much yieldwise. Can you start a few new seeds?

 

[flonmofo]

Thanks for getting back to me.

no more auto seeds unfortunately.

yeah i didnt think much would come off them. should be interesting to see how they turn out.

i think i fixed the pic.

I feel your pain, believe me. I have the opposite problem, my autos didn't auto. Stout little dwarfs, tons of non budding bud sites. No auto buds for me either -- yet.

I did a seedrun with some horribly stunted autos. All of em ended up being just a couple inches tall but I still ended up with 100+ seeds from 6 plants.

@Claude Hopper. what autos did you buy? thats pretty shitty but not a complete loss. just gotta wait longer eh.

@thizzness. got no males so only chance would be a hermie.


coupla new pics. lookin pretty good i think. just tiny. goin for 2g each


Im really hoping they go white like the normal GWS.

 

[flonmofo]

can anyone give me an estimate as to how these autos will turn out. they are very small but healthy now.

will they stop growing new nodes now they are flowering?

It varies by strain how well some AF's can recover, but they look pretty stunted so i wouldn't hold out for much. It's those first 10 days to 2 weeks with AF's that are super critical to get right.
