Is this plant flowering??

Hello folks, can someone tell me if my 30 day old (from sprout) auto is flowering ? And would this be considered the “pre-flowering” stage??
To it looks obvious that she’s starting, but I was told otherwise....but I won’t get into that conversation.
I have noticed a small growth spurt....is this the extent of the stretching that takes place?
Anyway, they are Super skunk autos, grown in 100% Forest Ocean, under a HLG 320XL, light schedule is 18/6.
Thanks for any and all comments or suggestions.

Yeah that's in flower now. Kinda fugly pistil formation but still legit in-flower

Yes.

She is in transition, will be in flower when pistols cap the tops in a 180 of hairs. This is day 26 after flip. In flower now.

With photos l subtract first two to three weeks as preflower and still veg. I feed veg for first two weeks then start flower nutes. The extra N in veg nutes help power through the stretch. 80 days if company says 65 has been my experience. Ive had strains done early but not by weeks yet. Later too. Planning on 80 to 90 days this cycle....is pending due to any f ups.

I wonder why the pistils look like they do?? And why there are so many brown ones? There are brown ones popping out everywhere.

I dont see any brown ones, ur good there...they're just longer than im used to i guess.

Chopped my last auto in month 4, wasnt done or good. Was a blue gelato auto. Turned me off autos for now.

When should the stretch occur?? I’m hoping mine will stretch a little. They are 30 days old and I haven’t fed anything...the Forest Ocean looks like it still has some gas in the tank.

Yes I can see how autos have a mind of their own....my next run will be photos for sure.
