so there's this hydro lab in this undisclosed location that's used primarily to start off normal garden plants (tomatoes, peppers etc). A friend of the owner's gf has snuck 3 herb plants in and they're all looking pretty healthy, except they've been under 12/12 since they were planted cause that's what the other plants like. one is definately male, looks to be sativa and is about 7 inches tall. As soon as I see her I'm gonna tell her to destroy it. The next hasn't shown any sex yet, is def sativa, about a foot tall with only 3 or 4 leaf sets. It's looking a little gangly. The last one is a gorgeous little indica female. We've topped it a bunch of times so it's very bushy. It's only about 3 weeks old, 5 inches tall but it's starting to flower at just about every node.

Is there anyway to arrest the flowering process and return it to vegging so that we can transplant it outside and let it get nice and strong before the flowers start bulking up? Or is there any way to make stable clones off a plant that young and small? Also how do I fix the gangliness of the real tall plant? And why are 2 flowering but that one is not?

Put it under 24 hr lighting instead of 12/12.

Take cuttings and put them under 24hr lighting, they will revert to veg.

More light or move it closer to the lights.

Indicas are more readily affected by photoperiod than sativas in this way.

dominant sativa strains do not rely on 12 hours of uninterupted darkness as dom and pure indicas do. That is why your sativa is not showing signs of sex. Also a male sativa(i suspest this is not a pure sativa), will show signs of sex before a female, so i expect your"sativa" that is not sexing is a female also. It is not too early to flower the indica, which rely on 12 hours of straight darkness to flower. Let her flower my friend, at 5 inches and bushy she should yield some fine flowers...
GOOD GROW!
