Is my plant an autoflower?

[Legen]

So I started growing a bag seed a few weeks ago as well as one I had been growing for a few months. The seed sky rocketed way faster than my first seed and looks great. I am courious weather or not this is because she is an autoflower or if shes just much healthier than my origonal plant. I did have a lot of problems with my first one from start. I am not sure if either is male or female yet so idk if that has something to do with it. the new one does look a little stemmy like a male its not really bushy. Id love some feedback if anyone has an idea of what it may be!!! Roll It Up!

I doubt anyone growing commercially would be using autos.

alright. I have heard that generally if its a bag seed its nmost likely not an autoflower. could anyone elborate on why that is?

Outdoor they make no sense at all. Indoor you can't train and control. Less yield I believe. I have never grown an auto and honestly, don't mean to sound insulting, don't get why people do. But that is just me and obviously many others see value in them.

second one definitely has some male aspects to it. watch for "testicles" and don't be disappointed if you have to cut it down.. shit happens.

Anyone wanna give me some imput on weather they think I should try putting the larger one in a 12/12 to see if it starts to flower as a male or female

Let nature take its course once the plant is mature he/she will show you the signs before you switch to 12/12 thats if your patient enough and have the time to do such, but if you wanna see what gender the plant is you can put it 12/12 whenever you want really its up to you but the plant still won't show sex until its mature enough in the 12/12 cycle. I personally veg my plants till they start to pre flower on there own and once I know there female I continue on with vegging them till I'm ready to switch to 12/12 I get much bigger plants and yields and I love every minute of it doing it that way just my 25 cents.!

Hey guys just giving an update the taller one is getting way more bushy and the smaller is looking a lot better. the smallest head all the way at the bottom is a clone I took off the tall plant.

If it's bag seed, it means that you (or someone) bought that weed, and pretty much no one grows autos for selling. Auto's are mainly for people who live in climates that normal strains can't handle (Auto's come from northern Russian Ruderalis stock, and grow in temps cold enough to kill most non-autos) or who are growing in areas where affecting a 12/12 light cycle with no leaks isn't possible, since auto's will flower even under 24 hour light (Because they naturally grow in climates where the sun never goes down during parts of the year). Combine those traits with the generally reduced yield (Can't grow 10 foot monsters from most autos), and generally reduced potency (As Ruderalis has much lower levels of THC, although it is worth noting that Autos are generally higher in CBD if you're lookin for more medicinal and less stony), and you have a plant that doesn't really pay off to grow for sale. Autos are (Mostly) personal plants. Hence, most weed you buy (And thus most bagseeds) are from non-autos.

My advice would be don't. They will start showing their sex before too long, and if you put them into 12/12 and then flip back to veg you will stall your growth a bit. I would just keep an eye around the 5th to 7th nodes, they will show preflowers early (Might even already be there if you know what to look for).
