I've got one month old vegetatif plants 24 hours of light all the time, I've got pics here: newbie-central/318466-unknown-seeds-can-u-help.html

but unbelieveably, one of my plants got flowers now, they weren't there last night, but now they are. how is that possible with 24 hours of light? got some pics of my set-up and flowers below. I'm using 3 high efficiency spiral bulb, 120 watt output each (from 23 watt). two of them 6500K white, one is yellowish for red spectrum. I'm a newbie, this is my first grow with unknown mix seeds. so what do u think ?

Plants do start to show sex before you put them into flowering, as long as they have matured enough. That is what the second picture looks like, with the hairs on the bases of the branches. The third one I dunno, my eye isn't experienced enough to know, but it does kinda look like early flowering. How old is the plant?

You have pre-flowers, it happens.
I think you have 3 23 w bulps, dont look at the equivalent watts

@ginoSA, yes, I have 3 23w bulbs.. pre-flower.. is that good or bad?

pre flowers are good i guess they just tell you the sex of your plant you can get balls to...you can flower really anytime after seeing pre flowers thats the plant telling you she is or he is mature not to confuse you you have a girl...at least the one highlighted...

not bad at all for a newbie guy. looks like youve done a little research unlike some people i see on here. but yes those are preflowers and they show when the plant "hits puberty" lol this is thier sign they are ready to begin flowering ( if you are ready) the 2 white hairs means its a girl and the males look similar at first but grow no hairs and form in clusters. and if you really ever try and flower before you can see these pre-flowers (from seed) it will actually delay flowering rather that speed it up. the force is strong with you and keep up the good work

so no worries than thanks for answers and nice thoughts. I'm reading a lot, almost everything that I found. Nowadays I'm thinking and reading about uv-b for flowering, I think I'm gonna get Sylviana Reptistar %8 uv-a/b 23 Watt cfl bulb and 1-2 hours of exposure to my plants.
