I have 3 GG4 going. One is a genetic freak, fat for 49 days, the other looks good, she will fill in, but then there is the one in the middle, no sign of flower. What to do. Switch the whole tent to 12/12… help ![IMG_20220429_165735](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/f/f/bffc99b05df863ea400ad23bcdb32bc72dd085d6.jpeg) ![IMG_20220429_165722](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/6/a/86a21875d48d53c9763edd15700efa7bf84fe3ea.jpeg) ![IMG_20220429_165707](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/9/9/8992744112fc245c921997e5ba3e8e014a70d03b.jpeg) ![IMG_20220429_165702](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/4/f/4/4f40a7bc0a9b2fd318846da8c5c47a02e5f66db7.jpeg) ![IMG_20220429_165658](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/a/8/fa8f13124fba51d651f3cb9f44d7e4f3847b67f9.jpeg) ---

They look good. I would think that each seed will grow a little different. But i would keep it the same light schedule. Don’t change a thing. Has the middle 1 started to grow the first 2 white hairs ---

I don’t think so but I just peaked in to grab the picks… I’ll hang out with them on Sunday and look closer. ---

I usually ran my autos at 18/6… you could always drop a hour or so if it doesn’t start showing soon but it might just be late to the party ---

Every auto I’ve ever done does what’s pictured 7-10 before I see bud. I could be wrong because your girls are small . I would definitely keep an eye out. ![IMG_20220429_165722~2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/4/e/9/4e95f5728b0c270e83dcbb84805f2d3de8a647ee.jpeg) ---

I don’t even see any signs of preflowers aka “showing sex”. It may just not be mature yet, nothing will makevit flower till it has preflowers, preflowers are when they show sex, not the first signs of actual flowering like so many think it is. The single tiny calyx that show up when they hit maturity and shiw if they are make or female are the only “preflowers” in cannabis anatomy. ---

Yeah thats what i am thinking and yes they are small. I like them that way. I only get about 2 oz per plant but i run two tents 3 plants each… plenty of head stash. i didnt do much training on this run. only pulled some branches away and tied down to give them more space. ---

I love when they wait longer to flower. The plant just gets that much bigger. Just keep taking care of her. You can try switching to 12/12. It wont hurt the other plants at all… ---

So my very first auto flower run i had a gg4 that i just about threw away 🙃 It was way behind the others in starting flower. And im so glad i didn’t because that sucker gave me a pound 🤩. It grew huge! It’s labeled as AF4 i think, but its obvious wich one it is in my journal… > [@Happys first auto run](https://ilgmforum.com/t/happys-first-auto-run/76266/73): > > Got the Gorilla glue handing and man there is alot on this one. Glad to take the 5 largest limbs by there self to get it put sweat_smile AF5 (Gorilla glue) AF4 (Gorilla glue) ---
