Plant Flowering in Week 3

[Holiday524]

Autoflower Wedding Cake
Planted in Ocean Forest
Indoor Grow Environment No Environmental Stresses
Soil used Fox Farm Ocean Forest
Nutrients used Fox Farm Dirty Dozen


I planted two autoflower wedding cake seeds on Nov 2 in Ocean Forest. Transplanted the plants from smaller starter containers to larger 5 gallon fabric containers during Week 1 of veg phase. After transplanting the plants I noticed one of the plants wasn't recovering as well as the other. The problem plant had droopy leaves so I decided feed both plants with fox farm dirty dozen nutrients once week 2 started to aid in recovery (this was 7 days after transplanting the plants). Both plants responded greatly to the nutrients, however I think one plant is starting to show signs of growing buds. This is my first time encountering this and I don't know what steps I should take. Should I throw this plant away if it starts budding too soon? I estimate that I am at the beginning of week 3 of my grow. Do I continue growing and feeding this plant based on a week 3 timeline or should I feed it based on how fast its growing? Should I stop feeding it nutrients? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

hey whats up? why would you trash that plant? it's doin what you want it to do if its flowering. which to me it looks like it is. if you confirm its flowering, i would switch to those nutes. not all plants progress at the same rate, even same strain side by side can be diff. good luck

Phenotypes of the genotype. What it was, what it is, what it shall be.

From my limited experience growing auto flowers I keep feeding them a grow mix until week 5 then start to feed a bloom mix gradually.

I would let the early early bloomer bud out. I have run across different phenotype expression in most grows. Same seed, same strain, same seed company, many with slightly different growing habits.

Inconsistency is the one constant with Auto flowers IMO
