White pistils at this stage?

Second time grow off the same batch of seeds and thinking this is better off cutting my loss now and doing a new grow.

Little history, for some reason this had issues growing at first. Not to sure what happened, if it was just a cold snap one morning in the tent, not enough light at first or what.

I was able to bring her back to life after some attention but now im seeing white pistils in early veg.

Picture wise you can see the full size and then zoomed in for thr pistils.

Any help or thoughts would be appreciated!

Any chance this is an auto flower ?
Curious how many weeks from seed.

My thought is an auto as well. Have seen a few of them flower super early.

If it is an auto theres nothing to be done about her flowering, they tend to do their own thing.

As far as that goes i think its more of a growers choice. I have seen some who grow their runts out and some just start over. :v:

This is a auto flower. Sorry about that should have said.

This is around week 6 figured id try to salvage after the first two-three weeks of the struggles. Maybe if it was photo salvaging could have been done.

Just weird because ive got a second growing right next to her with the same everything and nothing occurred to damage her as you can see below.

Thats an auto for ya. Worst part about em is the unpredictability.

Yessir. Autos are on the clock so to speak , and at 6 weeks I’d be expecting to see pistils.
How’s the bigger one. Any yet ?

That is why I like photos. I did 2 different rounds of GDP and they all flowered at 3 weeks from sprout. The 1st batch did stretch out some and gave me some nice buds. The 2nd round they were small like yours. I threw them out and started over. I always have my plants on 24 hr light when they are small. I think this causes extra stress fot the auto. I tried some Runtz autos next mixed in with photos on 18/6 lighting. They did much better but I had to flip my lights as soon as autos shown pistils, the photos could have vegged another couple weeks.
I feel photos handle the stress I give them better.

Unfortunately, that plant is almost maxed out on its size. You can grow it out for a cool novelty, fun thing, but it’s not going to produce much of anything at all. I personally would pull it. No sense in using a full bag of medium.

As the others said, flowering after 4-6 weeks is what an auto is supposed to do. Running into trouble early with them and having growth stunted can lead to having tiny auto plants into flowering.

When people ask what is the difference between autos and photos this is the biggest. A photo kept on veg light schedule would never do this. You can just keep on vegging until desired size.

My advice is that with autos use a gentle hand. Tuck leaves vs plucking when you can, better to ease into larger feed amounts gradually over time vs a big jump. Lst over hst, etc etc.

I offset my autos in the 5 gallon pots, with the intentions of bending the plant over the top of the pot…

Was this a good thing to do? Or will this cause problems on the close to the rim side of the plant?

Should be fine
