Is there anyway i can over due the flowering and let it self pollinate and get some seeds out of it ? Or should i pollinate with another plant which gets bananas after harvest when put further into flowering...which option would b better since this is the last resort i have to keep this pheno of strain with me ?? Any help would b nice

I don’t know but most plants other than autos won’t flower with more than 16 hrs of light per day as I have read.

I usually only top plants for height control or to bush out clones so I do it at 5-7 nodes or more.

I’m sorry I don’t have any advice for you but that you have some tops there and they will be as big as the amount of light you have can make them.

It started flowering because it matured outside and the light cycle was too short. If you go back up to 16. Most use at least 18 to be sure with all strains it will re-veg. That will make the plant grow funny for at least a few weeks before new vegetative growth starts again. Then you can take clones or te flower the plant when ready but the mom tends to get really branchy and results can be variable. The clones should be normal. You can save strains you see in flower that you want to keep this way.

Do indica dominant strains require more than 13 hours of light to remain in veg ?

Most strains need 16 to stay in veg. We use 18 to be safe. You can go 20 or even 24 hrs for the most veg growth. As long as there is light the plant will try to keep growing.

Thank you..i guess cloning it and growing it again is best and then use silvee collidal method to get seeds( researched a while ago)

In the mean time you can flower the Mom as is.

Maybe take a low cutting for faster reveg. The top budding ones will take longer to revert.

Good luck

Well i already put the mom back to reveg since its less than 8 inches tall as its topped 3 times and lst....i m sure this reveg mother will turn out to b a monster later and in the meantime i have taken cuttings from lower branches to make clones ...looks really fine and healthy...never seen the mother with so much thc ...i mean even the fan leaves have sugar in it which is insane
