possible evidence of florigen from auto working on gdp photo resulting in flowering??

ok this is weird...

i have 2 autoflowers growing side by side a grand daddy purple photo plant. they are inside a cabinet with flowering lights (cfls) from 7pm until at least 10am everyday. they are taken out in between 10am and 7pm and placed in direct sunlight all day long here in northern california. maybe this is shocking them? they get at least 22/0 every single day. they are fed with maxigrow vegitative nutes. they are growing in passive hydro with out the use of any hormones. perlite:coco 1:1

so today one autoflower the fast bud #2 started showing sex (female). but also today (actually first seen about 2 days ago) the PHOTO gdp started showing sex, also female. i bought the gdp as a female clone from a dispensary.

besides shock which seems unlikely since they are growing so vigorously and are sooo happy, i can only come to one conclusion. the florigen (flower inducing hormone in plants) from the autoflowers is having an effect on the photo plant. a while back i posted a thread about grafting autoflowers to photo periods in order to induce flowering in the photo during 24/0. is it possible that the florigen is having effects on the autoflower? since florigen is as i understand it still misunderstood and not identified maybe it has gaseous components?

im totally jumping the gun here thinking this is the case. but anyone with any input please chime in. pics in my next post, give me a few minutes. very interesting!

A plant will show sex when mature. A clone from a mature plant will show sex very quickly - nothing special going on.
 
the grand daddy purple is a photoperiod dependent clone frm a vegitative mother at the dispensary. when i bought it there was no evidence of flowering nor with any of the other clones (over 20 same source).

in 20/4 to 24/0 light since the 17th oof july, when i got it. would it still be possible for it to go into flower because of the age of its mother plant? maybe im not sure what you mean by maturity.

thanks for the input! im more trying to get the ball rolling on the subject with this interesting happening. also very high - surprise surprise!

What I am saying is:

A clone from a mature plant will show sex naturally without being put into flower. The Mother plant your clone came from was mature, and had already shown sex or they would not be taking clones.

All my clones show sex well before I put them into flower - it is common, and happens on mature plants. It has nothing to do with you autos.
 
so how would i grow out the gdp clone and the clones i took from it 2 days ago, vegitativley? im mixing the gdp with a Himalayan blue diesel to get gdp autoflowers so im going to need plenty of stock for proper breeding.
 
see i was assuming that they took a clone from the mother and put that in 12/12 in order to check the sex of the mother plant. thats how i would have one it. any reccomendations on where i could read up on this subject, or what to search for?

Just because it shows sex does not mean it is flowering.
Leave it under veg lights until you are ready then switch to 12 / 12 and flower.
