Either presex or auto flower

I would say you got autos. What are you growing and where did you get the seeds?

How old are the plants???
Cannabis will eventually show sex no matter what schedule you have them under.
New growers often mistake the “stipules” for being a pistil.
Grab a close up photo and we can likely help more. :v:

Everything has gone wonky for sure. Noticed it last season with some genetics. Super early flower and really fast flowering. However, I may just be high…

They will do that and I don’t find an issue.

However, I heard from a plant breeder it’s a stress response that can be mitigated with the gas lantern technique.

Never tried it myself, but heard it in a few places.

Something to experiment with for sure!

I’d say pre sexing also light leaks can cause some issues.

Every place I can find the Magnum strain says it’s an autoflower. So in this case there is nothing wrong, it’s doing what it is supposed to. :v:

MANY strains pre-sex or pre-flower…depends on their genetics…It’s normal… especially in 18/6…many Landrace strains do that…

@Papalag and @Cormoran saw my 5 month old Frankenstein cutting, er, I mean bush last weekend. Papa asks how long has it been since I flipped to 12/12 on it. I just lol’d. “She’s never seen anything other than 18/6 man”. She has THAT many pre-flowers. and we know shes not a landrace LOL… Some just cant wait to flower for us :smiley:

6 week from seed

They have just matured and are ready to flip. You can keep them under 18/6 lighting until they are about a 3rd of the size your expecting them to grow to then change the light schedule to 12/12 and initiate the bloom period

No worries. As she grows under 18/6 lighting she will continue to throw pistils like that. She won’t bud until you reduce your timers to 12/12.

Agreed totally normal. 6 weeks is like exactly the correct timeframe :+1:
