I had 6 lights and 1 broke and I have 4 plants the one plant started showing pistils 1 week ago under the 18/6 light and people said it was just showing sex not flowering. I brought them all outside about 2 days ago and the other 3 plants are not "showing sex" the one that was under the broken light, it looks further into flowering if you ask me. DO you guys think this plant is into flower or just showing sex?

All three of those pics are of a female.

What size pot are you using. It certainly looks like its going into flower. That can sometimes happen if the plant gets root bound. What exactly is the seed/strain, where has it been sourced from, and are you able to trust the breeder or source ? Because there is a chance that it may just be unstable mixed up genetics and hold some autoflower plants in the strain or semi auto. Or could be just straight auto flower. Can you tell us what your day light hours are outside were the plant is kept, as some indica types can trigger into flower under 14 hours of light. Having a room with multiple lights with the one directly over the plant not working shouldn't trigger flowering. If that was the case in large grow opps were they use multiple lights they would have to have the whole roof filled with lights side by side with no space inbetween. But it dont work like that cuz even if there is no light unit directly over that specific plant the plant can still see light from different angles, and the leaves re-adjusting to face the angle of another light in the room will show this. When par or ppfd maps are made they show the light travling further than just directly under the light board. If a light is good it can light up a whole tent and dosent need for example a 4x4 size of the light board to light up a 4x4 tent so the one light being out cant have caused this issue.

@TheWholeTruth its in a 10 gallon fabric pot and its a feminzed gorrila glue #4 from company called blimburn my other gorilla glues are not flowering yet its just the one that was under the broken light. The total daylight hours outside are just above 15 hours. what do you think is the best course of action for the 1 flowering plant? the days keep getting longer so will it finsish its flowering cycle or will it reveg at a bad time and mess up? Should i force flower it now and just go with the flow?

@Bukvičák I needed to take them outside because my lights arent the best and more importantly i just didnt have the space for them inside anymore so i had to bring them out. I have 3 other plants aswell that are not flowering and growing perfectly. The strain is gorilla glue #4 and its feminized from blimburn. the total daylight hours where i am in just above 15 hours

It could just be one of the seeds got mixed up and you've ended up with one auto seed. I would just go with the flow.I dont think it will go back into veg which it should have under those light hours. Just let it do its thing. Good thing is you might end up with a bit of bud a lot earlier than planned due to this one plant. Plus you have the others wich will finish later on so you should be good.

Ya i agree it seems to far into flower to go back into veg nicely. And possibly since its feminzed it flowers easily or more like an autoflower like you said. Thanks alot for the help im going to start bringing it inside a tiny bit early to help it flower along. Hopefully its a autoflower so i can miss bringing it a few nights when i go to the cottage. Thanks for the help again!

If it is auto, most likely is, than you are fine and you can let it flower outside. If it is some mutant foto, than I would be concerned about reveging later on as well as herming. Foto plant would DEFINITELY NOT start to flower because of 1 out of 6 light outage. Hello! It takes at least 10 days since flip to switch the gear. 10 days of 12 hours darkness for foto. Watch the plant if she continue to flower properly than go on and it is auto, when not you will probably need to put it under 12/12 to flower it properly. Good luck!

Ya everyone has said it shouldnt flower under 18/6 if only 1 out of 6 lights is broke. So im thinking it must be part autoflower or or fully autoflower even though it seems like such a coincidence that it was the plant under the light that broke. Ill just leave it outside like i am and hope it progresses into flower without me taking it in at night. Hopefullly it doesnt start to reveg now
