I have two auto berry plants that have had the female pistils for a week and just wasn't sure if the afghan would follow soon after. But the auto flower grows and a much faster rate so that could be why.

No I believe I started it around the beginning of september, about 5 weeks into veg.

Oh really? When do you think would be a good time to switch to 12/12

Well, it all depends on what you want the plant to be size wise, and how much it will stretch. Some strains stretch more than others. I Usually wait til mine are about 2 feet to switch to 12/12. But then again I like to have big plants, and have the lighting to penetrate a 3 foot plant. I usually grow 2-4 3 foot plants and my HPS light does great. Usually get about a QP from 2 plants
I grew Afgan before and it didn't stretch to much. Also you have to think about your lighting before you get it to big. Do you have enough lighting to penetrate a big plant? What lights you using to flower?
By looking at the picture, I would wait another week or two, but I flower with a 400W HPS so I don't mind them getting big.

When you take the picture, get the camera really close to the internodes so we can see whats going on. I do see buds on some of those plants. Was that your autoflowers? If you just put it into 12/12 5 days ago you still got a little before it will show its sex. Usually takes a week to two weeks to show. Be patient, it will show eventually.
