My 2.5 mnth white widow showing seeds on 16/8 cycle?

Ok so I have a two room setup:
Veg room is on a 16/8 light cycle w/ grow floursecents kept a few inches away from the tops. I use general hydro flora micro and grow as needed via drip.

I have a 3.5ft fat bushy ww plant and I am unaware of plants showing sex signs before any flowering stage is introduced. Two days ago I noticed seed clusters forming around the intersections of the main stalk. So needless to say my mother plant is only gonna be the mother a few seeds for me to start over.

I have also signed up with the nirvana seed catalog. Considered buying a few seeds since I only had the one to start. Unless anyone has any ideas. Thanks for the newb help. I can get a pic up if needed to.

why 16/8

why not 18/6

i think its trying to flower because of light

Also 3.5 feet... how long are you veging it for?

well it was to be the start of a permanent rotation. This one was to be the main "mother" and I have a cloning machine and a hot house with ten clones in it. I just finished building my flower room and was gonna move a clone into it to determine sex and that day I noticed a seed pouch. This plant was not to be flowered. And 16 8... Just a preference. I've looked from reading that 18/6 seems ideal? And why can 14/10 not flower a plant then, as long as you never starve the plant of its usuall light or cut back the light cycle?

Why go against the grain?? use what works imo

By the way my flower room consists of an e&f style setup with a 400w hps. A 465cfm (sufficient! trust me) hydrofarm fan will exhaust the room. Will be a 12/12 with 3 waterings a day at 15min.

Does this forum have meets? lol!

lol crazy man, what u mean seed pouches that mena sits female then, if ur plant had seed pouches its female, it it has grapes and no white hairs its male good luck, and do not use 16/8 go with 18/6 ?

post a pic

thanks widow maker for pic

yep a female flower looks like a pear with 2 long white hairs emerging from the top of it

Here is the best pic I can get of these clusters. I'm sure its male. Just not sure why its showing sex signs early.

boy!and showing signs because of light.

But how can a 14/10 cycle be ok and a 16/8 not?

neither are

24/0 and 18/6 for veg
12/12 for flower.

Thank you. I guess thats what forums are for! I'm new obviously to this one but theres seems to be ALOT of info here and i'll be around. I like the journal section and can't wait to get one going.

Now is it worth seeding this male for the seeds? I have nothing else to work from if not.

no because you can use clones from a female, dont bother messing up a female plant, just pull clones from it

Well a female is what I need. But now all I have is a male plant. Where should I get clones in phoenix? I'm thinking of ordering some seeds from nirvana shop. But I figured i'd at least grow a few seeds off this plant since i'd like to have a white widow strain as well as whatever I get for now.
