Got to look

Crazy to see that at Day 16 from transplant of seedling.
And super happy!!!

@Gr8Chimera so once it shows a pistol then you are considered being in flour? And I thought all autos were female
Hey JJ…
I believe that autos are in flower from officially week 3 or day 21 from sprout.
All autos are guaranteed females! You never know, though there could be manly bits balls there… (hermaphrodite)
And I also discovered two more pistols that were hiding behind the stem. I circled them in blue.
It’s pretty cool to see them this early. They’re always this early on plants. You just gotta look real close.
Photoperiod plants Need to light to change in order to show flowers /sex…
Autos Are bred with Cannabis Rudelaris … This is Ditchie that grows in climates that are very harsh and little light… These flower based on time, not light change…
I’ve learned a lot from experimenting with some seeds I found in bags…
Check out this image with the blue circle…, It’s just showing pistols which males do to but they don’t cross or grow together… The male sex grows behind the pistol on the plant. That’s why it’s hard to find.
But autos are females!
Happy growing!
Here’s a light chart that I’ve been using that shows the stages from seedling to vegetative to flower of an auto

I beg to differ… 
You can buy reg. Auto seeds online…
(I cut the vendor’s name off by respect to Ilgm)
Here’s what Google says about this:
Are autoflower seeds always feminized?
While most autoflowering cannabis seeds on the market are feminised to ensure a higher yield of buds, regular autoflower seeds are available for those who prefer traditional breeding methods or want to produce their own seeds. Growing regular autoflowers means you must identify and remove males to prevent pollination.

Thanks Kaptain3d I never knew that!!! Makes sense.
Lots of commercial grows are going auto too…
Makes sense to create more strains!
Learning is a part of my daily life! Thank you!
Oh, and here is Lucy day 16 with minor LST
White Widow LOVES heat!!! Wow she is bending and praying 
!!!
Thanks buddy!

Wanted to update all re: Day 17.
Added stake # 3 as since adding GB FF she has taken off
Photo attached.
The goal it to keep working around the outside of the pot and create a lateral line from stem to top.
The bud sites should all grow vertically
I was going to top / FIM however with lack of time until flower I feel this will allow for more vigorous growth.
The wait time from topping is not worth 2 colas when this could potentially create about 5-10 colas and only LST.
We will see! I LOVE AUTO FLOWERS SO MUCH!!!
White Widow Auto ILGM Day 17.
LST starting
GB FF 2 days ago
5-7 days of solid begging time ahead
Pistols 1 week out
Flowering to begin by day 30 12 days out

Day 18 WW Auto ILGM " Lucy"
LST continues its journey around 1" from soil
Almost @ week 3…
A shot of my mini grow in a cupboard measuring 2’x2’x1"
Lined with Mylar .
Using nebulizer as humidity control.
Computer fan for airflow control
Extra lamp below grow for soil warmth control
1 Gal Fabric pot
Happy Growing indeed.
(only thing I’m gonna add I believe is a bag that you can put in the closet that creates CO2 I have never tried it and we’ll see if I can see them on the Amazon they’re five dollars)
This way I can raise the light intensity based on my light chart from Photone
Also using Photone to determine DLI and dial in my micromoles daily, if not, three times a day
So far I have yet to have one burned leaf also not putting nutrients besides minor small quantities and absolutely no nutrient burn as of day 18 almost week three
Watering every three days between feedings using 1/8 dose of Big Grow from FF while Veg stage is just starting…

Hello all!
Back again at day 23 just over 3 Weeks!
Lucy is doing great 
Currently, DLI is up to 30.
Mols between 300 and 500.
18-6 Since beginning
Second dose of grow BIG put three days ago, using 1/100 of the dose on the bottle for my auto flower.
She is loving everything that’s happening first time using fabric pots noticing that the route area in the pot gets a lot more air when I put the fans on the temperature drops dramatically, but this white widow Auto flower really loves hot temperature loves the Warm soil and the warm air as well. I’m constantly putting a lot of RH.
My first auto flower topped two days ago and already showing lateral growth! Pulled the top of the plant over to the edge of the pot To then slowly ball around the circumference of the grow area… I was thinking of starting that process before topping, but I wanted to see what happened and she is loving it. I’ve never seen a photo. Respond this fast to being topped.

Oups… You should have. By topping her, you just slowed/stopped her growing “upwards”. Now she will grow bushier, so you’ll have a hard time getting her to “grow” around the edge of the pot, imo.

Thanks @kaptain3d !
I’m in a "photo period " mindset where I’m thinking I have time…
The overwhelming majority of WW auto growers is that this is strain specific to WW, that the yield is not very different than LST. And, lots of growers have been saying top at 16-20 days…
So… I’m happy with bushy , but still trainable for the next 2-3 weeks… my space is micro! 2’x2’x1’!

@kaptain3d I just wanted you to know that it appears I missed or Fimmed the FIM. I have started along the original plan now.
We shall see?
I looked closer and found that there is the possibility of totally Fimming the FIM… I misspoke saying “topped”.
Thanks for your support Kap!

Hey 
,
Day 24, WW Auto ILGM
1Gl Fabric
RH 50% avg
DLI @ 27-30
Mmols 348
18-6
Fimmed and missed the FIM ? Maybe some lateral growth will happen?
Still moving forward with LST round the pot. (Kap)
These autos respond so well to training…
just always be sure just watered… so stem bends and not snaps… (tape fixes snaps sometimes)
Node space seems perfect for future flower 
Keep on keeping on!!!
Peace
