I have a little problem...

TheGodDegree · 11-19-2010, 06:49 PM

Recently I acquired multiple cuttings already in the vegetative stage. They are approx. 1-1.5 ft tall on avg. They have been treated well with proper nutes and look amazing, and have been under 24h of light for the past 2-3 weeks. However, today I was surprised to discover that two were budding. The plants must have been inside a room when 12/12 was initiated before I received them, but I did not know of this.

Considering the plants are under a 400w fluorescent light and most of them are probably only a month old, and in no way ready to be flowered, this is obviously a problem. I AM in the process of getting a proper 1000w HPS, but that won't be for a few days, at the least. Also, one of them could sustain a harvest as it is older, and has been pinched and bent many times already and has 4 solid stems with much growth and is very strong and bushy. But the other one is is no way ready to flower. I am also worried about others popping buds in the coming days.

I am not familiar with the effects of attempting to revert back to vegetative growth once flowering has already commenced. My question is simple: What should I do? What are the effects, etc.? I am completely clueless in this aspect.

I just spoke to someone and they told me that it is likely just showing it's sex, and not budding, since they are clones and already mature. I have no experience in clones (even though I have a shitload of them) so I didn't know this. I've only dealt with seed before.

Either way, I am going to post some pics for better reference.

yeah, thats what I was thinking. Either way, putting it on a 18/6 or a 24 hr light schedule will do the job of reversing/ensuring it continues in vegetative growth. Pics are always welcome though. What strain are we talking here? Im just curious.

Overview:

- UK Cheese, Chem Diesel
- All from cuttings
- I also have multiple clones of Great White Shark x Some other shit that I forgot the name of.
- Under a 400w fl, pending the acquisition of a 1000w hps.
- First indoor grow. I've grown many times outdoors, but this here is a constant work n progress, although it is working out pretty well.

The plants are receiving a nutrient solution of:

10ml/g Canna A
10ml/g Canna B
10ml/g Rhizo
10ml/g Cannazym

They are also being sprayed once in a while with a 15ml/g Rhizo solution. They are sitting in Canna Coco Organic.

My computer is being extremely slow right now, so uploading is a pain in the ass. Here are some direct links:

That was what I was referring to earlier. Their are a few more, on another plant as well, but it wasn't even worth taking a picture of.

Your plants are showing preflowering.

From seed preflowering usually takes around a month to show. Because yours are cuttings they are effectively the same age as their parent plant- ie a month or more.

This is all good and to be expected. You shouldn't see them actually start to flower properly until you change to a flowering light schedule.

Some strains like ruderalis will autoflower regardless of light schedule.

Nice looking plants

Oh alright cool. That makes sense.

Thanks for the info.
