Preflower Help!

**Nuclearbud** · 05-19-2011, 05:14 PM

I have a plant that is currently outdoors and its been growing around a month or so and today i looked and saw female preflowers

!! . But should it have preflowers and its only May? Will it go straight into flower and stop vegging? I dont want it to miss a whole summer of veg. Thanks

Maybe it's an auto strain?

This looks like the place to ask this Question. I am a new grower and I wanted know what the pre flower stage looks like or what are the first signs of a plant flowering? Cause my plant (FEMALE) is starting to stretch on the main colas only they are growing about twice as fast as the rest of the plant. So they are sticking up above the rest of the plant by 4 inches or so. I am also starting to get a lot more vegetationbut the leaves are much smaller than before but much more abundant. Is this a sign of anything to be curious about? or happy about or sad about? Thank You, BB2112
P.S: Please I have pictures If needed.

sounds like it's getting ready to flower, hearin' a lot folks that far South plants have started flowering. Some strain will flower with around 15 hours sunlight.

Hey frmrboi, Thank you for answering i thought no one was going to help me on this one BUT! please read!!!! below.
so do you mean 15 hours in one day straight? How could i ever get 15 hours of straight continuous sunlight. The thing is the plant is only 20 inches tall x 22inches wide or round right now. I would like it to get a bit bigger, Will she just keep growing untill it's ready or if I change it's light patterns i could trigger it to flower? so the less sun the more probable it won't go into flowering , Is that correct? if I give it 8 to 10 hours a day will she just keep growing taller and wider? I wouldn't mind if she took till september to complete her thing. could you answer these question's please. I am really confused about how to get 15 hours of daylight on an outside growing plant? Thank You, BB2112

he means 15 hours of light a day, not direct sunlight

**hazeforlife** · 05-20-2011, 01:21 AM

my guide book says anything under 16 is danger territory for setting out transplants.
direct of couse is ideal bur from 10 AM to 3 PM are the most productive hours of sunlight.
move further North if you want to grow outdoors your days are too short Nuclearbud for a lot of strains.
