Why are stigmas growing during veg stage?

Not sure why and its the 2nd plant, 1st plant i chopped everything off till the very bottom to start all over. that one is under clone lights atm. and its growing well again no stigmas. the 2nd plant which was previous under that same light is now growing stigmas under a AC Infinity IONGRID T22 at level 2. the light is kept on 24/7 (would that be my issue?) but so is the clone light. I get they are 2 different intensities of light but why would it grow stigmas !? i will take pics when i get off work but this is annoying.

Reg soil w/ perlite mix, fabric 5gal pots, PH 5.9-6.1 EC 3.0 and using athena blend mix core/grow. other wise the plant looks great but i am trying to just grow her into a mother plant, never flower. any thoughts?

More commonly called pistils. They are completely normal on a mature female plant.

If she engage flower you may have some Auto genes on your hand. I had a Grapefruit that only vegged with 20+ hours, anything under and it started flowering.

Are we talking just a few popping out or a lot of them as would happen in full flower? Sexually mature female plants will almost always start to show even under 18+ hours of light but will not actually develop flowers. If they are actually going into full flower I'd suspect some autoflower genetics in its lineage.

Completely agree, I have a locomotion cut that needs pretty much 24 hours of light or she stalls and throws three finger leaves and pre flowers/budlets.

shes showing 1,2 and 3 prong leafs, was she a cut from a flowering plant? she seems to be revegging. How long has it been in the 5 gal?

Nope, it was straight from another mother plane (cloned). the one thats under the clone lights it was happening also and i cut them all off except the bottom so she grew just like you see. the one under the grow light WAS just like the one in the clone light.

They both started from grodan clone cubes into the 5 gal. :| yeah more i think of it i should have started off with a smaller pot and I want to try using coco 70/30 mix next time. do you think its to late to switch to a 3gal and 70/30 mix? Can i keep growing the one under grow light ? i want to be able to get as many clones off it as possible. same with the 2nd plant.

the only 1 thing i can think of was the humidity was a bit higher then i wanted, temp between 77-80f and humidity around 69%? now i brought it down a bit lower to 65% but VPD is way off at that point. i hope i dont have to toss her into the garbage :|

how bout light timers? All working properly?

it's tough for me to say, maybe someone else will see something I don't. I do have a few plants that will look like this if I let them run for a while in veg. I always took it as the plant being fully mature.

as for transplanting down to 3 gal there isn't a point imo, especially if you want to get as many cuts as possible

lighting schedule I guess becomes preference or to achieve a goal but I am not a fan of 24/7 some ppl use it, I prefer giving my plants a rest period and run 18/6.. even my clones and seedlings go 18/6

co2 in veg?
RH typically is dependent on stage of growth, in veg 60+ depending on temps and if you are following VPD (or trying to).
temps for led usually you want a little warmer than other lighting normally you want high 70's low 80's, temps go hand in hand with rh if trying to follow VPD, many sources quote something close to 76 to 78°F lights on and 65 to 68°F lights off as a general guide but bump up a little for leds, they like it
