Is This even POSSIBLE?

Ok, get this one. Very strange.
1st off, I am a newbie - but I can read, so I am not utterly clueless. (maybe 2/3 tho)
Anyway, please tell me if this makes ANY sense?

- growing indoors on an 18 hr daylight cycle
- all my plants were seeds only 2 months ago, except for this one I'm asking about which was a seed only 6 wks ago & now is 1 ft tall
- I noticed 3/4 days ago what looked like seed pods on it. I thought it was strange looking but put it out of my mind (thinking 'I'm a newbie, what do I know?' and also 'way, waaay too early to be showing it;s sex, especially in an 18 hr cycle)
- So today this plant has obviously dropped what looks like pollen, it's powdery, white, and very different from anything else in the room

So, this prompts two questions:
1. How the hell can a 6wk plant in 18 hr days drop pollen?
2. If the rest of my plants are only 2 months old and have been exposed to pollen, will that cause them to produce seed? <fingers crossed here>

For question 1 - I am completely baffled
Question 2 - I am thinking and HOPING that the plants being so immature it will not matter if they were pollinated.

Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks, and Happy Cinco de Mayo

the joker

get it outta there asap. if it did get pollen on any females they won't be affected. they need hairs to collect pollen. you should be ok.
as far as flowering male pods that early...... i don't know.

It is highly possible that you have an autoflowering strain on your hands. This means that the plant flowers more on age than it does on light requirements, or, that it may be signalled to flower when it becomes rootbound. I believe Lowryder has this trait, and there are some outdoor strains bred with this trait to finish in colder/northern climates where daylight hours are longer.

Also sounds like a male...and as long as your females are still in veg...you have no worries...except that..if they are this same strain..they will probably also autoflower. If they are in flower/12/12...um...you'll have more seeds than you know what to do with in about 8 weeks.

good luck

Autoflowering?????????

Jeez Louise - I never heard of that one.
Okay, well I'll sleep better now. It was a random seed that I was given and I figured I'd give it a go. Now I am going to give the plant the heave-ho.

many thanks
