Can anybody please offer me advice on the following. Here we go, I this year being an inexperienced person when it comes to growing decided to plant lets say a bit to early outdoors and as a result have some very nice looking plants. 9 females which have started to flower.
This I obviously do not want as I wanted to grow outdoors right through summer.
So my question is can I bring them indoors and put them under 18 hrs of light in the hope they will start growing vegetatively again. Will this even work and if so from anybody's own experience. How long will the plants take to start growing vegetatively again. Would really appreciate some direction on this from an experienced grower. All advice greatly appreciated.

Peace Fatchrome. :smile:

Why don't you want them to flower? I would think there pretty far along in the budding stage this time of year.

Ok well I started them roughly mid August thinking they wouldn't flower and I would be ok and sorry I should of mentioned I'm in the Southern Hemisphere. Adelaide S.A to be precise so it's just gone spring and we are heading into summer. So they are far from being plants big enough to let flower and harvest. They are all about 1 to 1 and a half feet tall. Very healthy and I have some nice strains I would hate to see go to waste.

Peace

if they just started to flower. get them under 24hr light. can't say how long it will take. 2-3 weeks. How many hours of light are you getting atm?

Thanks for replying Stumps. Currently only 12and a half. See being a noob I thought they would just grow slower but wouldn't be big enough to start flowering. But hey they obviously will flower at any age dependant on the hrs of light. Learn't that the hard way! Wont be 13 hr days until the 17th of October here in Adelaide.

Dig carefully. Dont destroy the root system and replant in 5 gallon buckets with good soil that is a light mix.

Your plants will be in shock for a week, but then will perk up. Fertilize for the first two weeks 1/4 then 1/2 strength. Use good nutes, water every two days.

Start on a 12/12 cycle now. If they are at 1 to 1 1/2 feet, than its ok to start flowering.

Take any clones before you start at 12/12

Use a good HPS system.

Good luck. Pm me if you need more help.:peace:

if ur in spring time at the min the plants will revert back to veg as the days get longer dude, itll take longer than if u stuck em unde 24/7 light but it will happen as the summer comes.

Hey Mr West cheers that's the best news I heard all day. However I've also heard that some will start vegging again but not all strains. What's your opinion on that?

the thing will have to finsh the buds its started and grow new shoots out the top of them buds. As they are in pots how easy would it be to get em under at least 18 hrs light? that would be the safer option or 24hrs light.
