It has been about a week since I made the last thread asking if my plant was beginning to flower. Last time it was extremely hard to see the white hairs I was talking about in the pictures, but now you can easliy see them. Can someone please tell me what they are? I can definitely smell what smells like bud but you have to get sort of close to the plants. Anyway, check out the pictures and tell me what you think the white hairs are. The last two pictures are the plant with the white hairs.
Thanks

this is my first grow and I started way too late so I know I'm not going to get much. Any free bud is better than no bud in my opinion. But this is basically just practice for next summer. All I did was germinate the seed and plant them in the groud and water them about every other day so I dont know how long exactly they veged for. Thanks for the help man.

ur plant might not even be matured enough to flower yet, i dont even see its first set of full leaves. only 3 leaflets
but if those hairs are pistils, then congrats

so what are the pistils for if its not flowering? I thought that they only grew out of the buds?

the pistils are the beggining of the flowering cycle, they grow first and then more and more come and your buds start forming

Actually pistols serve as protection to the seeds and to help catch pollen from males.Trichomes are resin glands and they produce the phsyco active effects in the bud while they also effect tastes and flvor so does the plant material.As for your question yes they are starting to flower they will not produce much of anything but the quality is key not the quanity.Let them finish and watch for ripeness.The main reason is already flowering is you started from seed to late in the season,u need clones then put the clones out to flower and you will get much better results

Update.
I have a new question now. If you notice on one of the plants there is a purplish color in the middle. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks

Could be genetic or cold weather can cause it

yea both of these are just bag seed so I have no idea what the strains are. Is it possible the purple is bud? It smells like bud but it doesnt have any pistils like the other plant. Hopefully it is.

Yea I bet I broke some kind of record for the smallest flowering marijuana plant. a title a show proudly. haha
