i think im fucked.....clones are flowering....

i just picked up a fresh set of babies, and got them all set up for the veg. run, after about 4 days i noticed they were staying very short and popin crazy node sites, after a few more days im thinkin somthin is wrong. so i go in for a closer look, and there is 2-hairs per node, these lil fuckers are flowering, and there a week into veg, about 8-10" tall. now im runnin 18 on- 6 off light, so im wondering whats the deal, so i ask around, and found out that going from 24hr light to 18hr can sometimes triger a flower,

so here is my question, what should i do now,

my bloom room wount be free for 2 weeks, i can bloom them in the veg, but there a lil young...right...?

i can run a 24 hr light cycle, but is this wise, i know they will go back, but how long, and to what damage (shock)....?

i dont have the $$$ to run out and grab a new set of clones and hugo cubes.....

please help a grower out....

knowing the $$$ situation, what choice would you do....runn, or veg...

just because hairs pop up doesnt mean she's in flower, she wont flower unless shes under 12/12, or shes autoflower.

She is probably just mature enough to be able to show sex, this happened to me my last grow, unless she actually starts budding just keep her in veg

Going from 24-0 to 18-6 wont trigger flower, Marijuana plants need 12 hours a darkness and 12 of light for them to flower

i would agree with you,
but all the tops are stacking so close i can even tell the nodes anymore,
and they are not growing "up" at all.....
each tip has the start of 10+ leaves.....
looks just like first week of bloom.....

pics would help us reach a conclusion...if you don't have one borrow one...but if you can't get pics up i would say throw them into 24/0.........btw what strainz?

24/0 of lighting and you willbe OK

im at work, my girl is taking photos now, should have them up in a few,
the strain is green crack, its a hybrid sativa, suposta be a easy run, and good yeald
i just finnished up some white russ, came out real good, 1.5lb per light...

.

Stoner just go to 24/0 for awhile as you considered in your first post - you had it right.

Clones are mature plants and they're ready to flower, some strains need very little darkness to flower. Dr Greenthumb has Iranian Auto Flower which is just a short flowering pheno of Endless Sky, an indica mix. IAF flowers in 24 hour light after an amount of time.

.

so im seeing the genral idea here is to go back to veg.
what kinda down time should i be lookin at, they are 10days into veg. so there real young still....

there on 24hr since i noticed the prob sat morning.....
so far everybody says keep it there.....

not the best pics, but you can tell in the 3rd one, how the tops are begining to bud up....

plants will show preflowers in veg. your probably just seeing preflowers because they are from a mature plant.

even if it was pre-flowers, my tops shouldnt look like this.....??????

You know what a clone with pistils is? It is a mature clone and as long as it is naturally mature that is like gold. SO!! Quit braggin you little fucker and go grow. Those plants look excellent.

nothing wrong with that. don't worry you will be fine

Do you have your light too close....stress can make clones flower...........my last batch of clones started to flower under 24 hour light cycle.........I was baffled because I had never had that prob.....come to find out my Led light was way too close to the clones,the intensity was too much for them so as a defense mechanism they started to flower....I put them under fluorescent and made sure to raise the light and they revegged right back.......may be or may not be your problem but since no one mentioned stress can cause plants to flower thought I would....hopefully they get back nn track good luck bro
