HeLP!! my plants are budding and there only 8 inches tall!

will they grow taller while budding they are AF white widow & dutch pride. Please /t me cuase i wont get more then an ounce if they dont grow taller!

What is your light schedule? If it is anything under 18/6 then they will probably flower... Only other option is if it is an autoflower...Do you have any pics?

Would you be able to provide some more info such as your lighting schedule and type of lighting? A picture would help a lot in this scenario as well.

Your plants shouldn't be budding anything in an indoor unless you induce flowering which would be induced by your lighting schedule dropping to longer dark periods or maybe to a lesser degree the wrong spectrum of light.

EDIT: Beat me to it. I was just getting ready to edit and ask if you had autoflowering plants as well. Top post is good.

heres some pics schedule is 20/4.

I dont see any budding. Are you seeing pre flowers?

I have to ask this same question. The only picture I can see much of anything in is your first one and all I see is a few pistils in a preflower. This doesn't mean your plants are budding.

It is almost impossible that I know of to get a plant to bud unless you induce it to flowering by changing the light cycle to 12/12. At your current cycle of 20/4 I don't see any way possible it would be able to bud. Show signs of sex maybe, but not fully bud. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

my FlowerPower autos looks the same (see first 2 pics ~9 inches tall), and I have one that is no more than 4 inches. Even after 4 days under HPS it's still a tiny little thing.....https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/424219-do-i-have-dwarf.html

I don't know anything about autoflowers, but in general terms mj plants stretch during flowering, so I would expect it to get taller during flower.

the pics seem to be focusing on the branches coming off the main stem which i would suggest it is just indicating sex.
i dont really know much about auto flowering plants except that they auto flower....... but i would suggest that they would not flower until theyre were a little bigger as auto flowering varieties.
and usually the plant will double sometimes triple during flowering stage.

The auto's I grew looked the same as yours when the started to flower. You would be lucky to get an oz. It's an auto. Good luck jethead

I don't have experience with autoflowering plants but I've heard that the genetics are changed in them so they start budding because of age and the time factor and not because of lighting being decreased to produce the florigen to make them flower naturally, like in a regular plant. I probably would never use AF myself, just because I've heard that they yield less, but they do grow much faster. It might grow more during the flowering stage but from what I've heard, people that use autoflowers grow a ton of them, so they end up with a decent amount. Anyway, I hope she grows more. Good luck! =)

they are autos. they will bud when they want, usually after 2-4 weeks after planting.

but yeh there still growing whilst flowering. just give them lots of light at 18/6 or more.
