New Grower hi i am a new grower and am currently after jumping straight in at the deep end..everything seems to

[dafawzi]

after 5 weeks out of 50 healthy BIG plants 3 dont seem to be flowering yet....they were on 24\0 starting off but are on 18\6 the last 10days

i am scared that these could be male..eventho the seeds are feminised..is that possible??

Don't sweat it bro, what type of lighting are they under? Could just be variations in phenotypes, maybe a late flower? If the strain wasn't worked enough maybe it is a photo leaning gal? Have you give them bloom nutes yet? As a rule with a auto you don't start off on bloom nutes until vertical growth stops, though sometimes by introducing the bloom boosters earlier will kick the plant into flowering mode?
5 weeks is a long time to not flower but not unheard of at all... Are they showing pre sex at least? Even a photo at 5weeks you can most of the time tell if it's a boy or girl? Pics would be really helpful to help you out.... Sure others will pipe in soon... A bit more Info on the grow would be helpful.....

thanks for the help...so started as seeds under 250...then first 2weeks under 400 and now under 600..they are huge but just not flowering??if they flower soon do i just give them big bud for less time or do i treat them as if they have as much time left as the others did when they started flowerin??i started giving the nutes at the 3rd week..

 

[dafawzi]

sorry but they are all flowering except for 3..only been giving them veg nutes and have just started giving all the plants big bud except the ones that havnt flowered yet...good idea or bad??thanks so much for the help...also do u agree when the plant is finished to put into a dark room for a few days???heard that boosts up the potency and size??

Yes dark room, but what that does is bring the maximum potency out of your plant, light degrades thc.
if the vertical growth hasn't stopped and you don't mind all being ready on the same time yeah sure.
if you don't want that and want them all to finish around the same time give them the nutes to induce flowering.
