plants are starting to flower at 20/4 light cycle?

[underground1]

so i have the lights in my grow room on a 20/4 light cycle. i have 40 mothers going right now, and this one strain is starting to flower. do you guys think this is an auto flower strain? it shouldnt be, because this strain was grown outdoors last summer, and finished in early October?

Something aint right. Auto flower genes in the strain?

 

[underground1]

yeah, its a little weird. i have 6 other strains that are still in veg.

If not auto, maybe light not strong enough or too far from plants???

I have seen that happen

 

[underground1]

yeah, it might not be enough light. the lights are fairly close. its just that...why isnt it happening to the other plants

 

[tusseltussel]

not enough light will not make a plant flower as long as you got 18- 24 hrs of it https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/151055-26-watt-cfl-veg-my.html

is it just showing sex because that happens on a mother thats mature and is nothing to worry about or is it building buds

40 mothers..... wow

 

[underground1]

yep...40. i have a lot of work to do this spring. so you think that one strain will be fine?

is it building flowers or just showing sex....its definatly not lack of light.. it does not take much to keep a plant alive

 

[underground1]

i think it might be building flowers, because all the other females that showed sex, dont look anything like this one. its not like 2 pistils coming out of the nodes, its more like 5-10 pistils coming out of each node, but more at the very top of the plant.

Hey man i would say take clones from your auto flowering strain as soon as possible, veg a few of the auto flower clones for new mothers, and flower your auto flowering mother after it has time to re cooperate from cloning and see what nature can tell you. Happy growing.

is it forming flowers or just pre flowers, just some hairs are normal but if they are clumping up then it sounds like an auto, i had a strain a while back that had these pre flowers all over it and i thought it was flowering in june but it grew like that until it really started budding in july
