So this plant and all the other plants in the same tent are around seven months old and the one appears to be flowering and I haven’t change the schedule any Buddy else have this issue and what should I do??! I’m freakin out cause this is my first grow and I can’t let 7 months go down the drain.

average temperature is 77 to 80° during the day humidity ranges 50-70. I got my growers choice roi-e720 x6 of them hooked up to the controller and it’s set for turning on at 19:30 and off at 13:30 (so 7:30pm on, off at 1:30pm)

I did recently with the lighting schedule due to my new job and it would only work if I flipped the vegetative lighting schedule originally from 5:00 AM on stil 2 AM off.Upon inspection this plan appears to be the only one that is showing preflowering and of course it’s not a auto flowering plant as again I’ve been vegging these for around seven months currently cutting them down as I was not aware of that they were nearly double in size once I did flower thaUpon inspection this plan appears to be the only one that is showing preflowering and of course it’s not a auto flowering plant as again I’ve been vegging these for around seven months currently cutting them down as I was not aware of that they were nearly double in size once I did flower them. And I plan on flowering them any day now once I defoliate them some more and give them recovery for a few days. Is the recovery. Oh and is it absolutely necessary or will it affect the quality it’s obviously the quality here is not gonna be an issue on more looking for quality control.Growing in coco / perlite, jacks 321 with silica (armor Si)

I would agree with rootbound. Stress can cause them to flower.

Bigger pots. I would also interrupt thier dark cycle with an hour of light to hopefully force the flowering to stop.

In the end you may not have a choice.

Take a couple of clones, kill it and start over.
PS that's flowering nothing pre about it

How can it flower under 18 hours of light and be the only one doing so that’s in the same tent? Also I am doing I don’t even know if there’s a term for it but super Duper cropping and I ended up throwing my best plant which is my jack herer in my unused guest bathroom and sealed it with one of those zipper hatches you can put on over your regular house door I’m kinda pissed I topped it again for about 1.5 ft so it’s about 7-8 tall now and the ceiling is 12 and the bathroom exhaust I got a sealed since I’m juicing it up with Co2 and a dehumidifier + ac unit. I’m probably not gonna top it anymore (unless advised) I’ll just super crop it and it works out better this way because I can have plants underneath it due to the lollipop I did and it’s heights large enough to put a entire grow underneath it I just hate how ugly it looks from the sides since it was smashed in that tent with the other monsters which I have a lot more room now to spread their wings so I don’t have to cut off as much cause I busted my ass for these and all the other stuff I got going on in my life lol but I’m hoping with the 10 x 120 W quantum boards I have surrounding s Rxc vcv/// it equipped with 301b’s, UV, and IR, hitting it out from top to bottom since the sides make it look like shit since it was was pulled out of a overcrowded 8 x 8 so the side foliage looks terrible but I’m hoping and correct me in I’m wrong, it’ll fill in a bit so I can pull a few lbs off it. Due to being in close contact with other plants in the 8 x 8 along with the like being completely cut off due to how thick the foliage was since I didn’t defoliate until recently. Now do you think the plants inside A 12 foot tall room will be a sufficient amount of height two start flowering and it’s not how long after either super cropping or just straight topping or defoliation does a plant require
Two bounce back from in terms of recovery before flipping to a 1212 schedule from what I read you should wait like a week or so but I’m thinking that those articles that I did read were referring to small plants that were easily put in the shock by any little change from my experience with these absolute beasts I’ve got on my hands that seem to grow them to the site overnight read my busy schedule I was long is the plan is perked up looking happy and healthy after doing the three following things I mentioned topping defoliating and super cropping do I need to have that recovery. Or should I just toss these girls in the flower?

main question, will a 7.5ft tree need more room to grow in my 11-12 ft tall ceiling? Sealed room co2.

Second main question: do plans of these size need to recover after being foliated super cropped or topped?
If I do any of those three will the plant show me signs of distress such as leaf wilting I just generally look not happy or does it have distress that you can’t tell if it is in distress or not? I keep postponing flipping to 12 and 12 and then they keep getting bigger because after I topped them and fully ate a bunch of them and then I all of a sudden have a plant that I just did the same thing I’m doing is the ones I’m doing now all the sudden exploding gross to where that one needs topped again and defoliated so I’m wondering if they actually need to recover with the shear size of them and generally above average root masses for indoor home grows?

Damn took so many shots before I could get it all in one photo

If it's not an auto flower take clones and start over or try to finish flowering her. I'd go the clone route. Good luck and I'll be interested in how this turns out for you.

For defoliation is that good or do I remove all big leaves? I got this one patch that’s super thick still. They’re to big to get good shots. Anyway to send you a video? I know you are very active on here and knowledgeable and this situation I’m in needs that but you can only help if you see what’s up vs these photos I look at with an unbiased approach and they don’t really show what I’m looking at in real life

The photos that show obvious heavy defoliation should I do the whole plant like that versus the areas that only have a light defoliation even though it doesn’t even look like it’s defoliated where I am saying it’s lightly the foliated but I’ve taken so many leaves office thing it was literally feed a village

Just a double check did you thoroughly read that by chance because if you could I could even send you some money I really need a really good thorough look at this plant as I put thousands into her and the rest of them. The photo I just sent is my jack hair with the very very tight node spacing which I need to know how to defoliate and again I put the tallest ones in the tallest part of my house that is around 11 or 12 feet

is that enough height with leds able to be mount at basically to the ceiling? If I want to grow less height for rn would moving more lights to hit her underdeveloped signs due to coming out of a tent that was literally butt to butt with 8large sisters?

So if I took lading and put it just on the sides of the plant with that stop height growth/slow it down? As I could yield a Enormous massive amount it was possible for a plant to start developing at sides by Lowering the intensity of the lights directly above and then utilizing my corner boards that I can have hanging all around it to develop the sides of the plant where they got neglected being so close to other plants in the tent

Sativa ....

Take cuts... properly train in the future ...let them get to 20" & flip lights to maybe 16 on & 8 off....
