ok this is weird...
i have 2 autoflowers growing side by side a grand daddy purple photo plant. they are inside a cabinet with flowering lights (cfls) from 7pm until at least 10am everyday. they are taken out in between 10am and 7pm and placed in direct sunlight all day long here in northern california. maybe this is shocking them? they get at least 22/0 every single day. they are fed with maxigrow vegitative nutes. they are growing in passive hydro with out the use of any hormones. perlite:coco 1:1
so today one autoflower the fast bud #2 started showing sex (female). but also today (actually first seen about 2 days ago) the PHOTO gdp started showing sex, also female. i bought the gdp as a female clone from a dispensary.
besides shock which seems unlikely since they are growing so vigorously and are sooo happy, i can only come to one conclusion. the florigen (flower inducing hormone in plants) from the autoflowers is having an effect on the photo plant. a while back i posted a thread about grafting autoflowers to photo periods in order to induce flowering in the photo during 24/0. is it possible that the florigen is having effects on the autoflower? since florigen is as i understand it still misunderstood and not identified maybe it has gaseous components?
im totally jumping the gun here thinking this is the case. but anyone with any input please chime in. pics in my next post, give me a few minutes. very interesting!
