I had a month and a half old plant that i started in 24/0

about a week ago i moved it into my veg room which is 18/6

today i checked it, its still really small about 6" tall and had tons of male pollen sacs on it

Has anyone ever seen this or know why it showed sex in my veg room?

I immediately trashed the plant for obvious reasons

My guess it is has heavy auto-flower characteristics in its genetics.

Or the change of the light cycle to 18/6 was enough to prompt the male to show. Males show first.

Plants showing sex during veg occurs from time to time.

I've changed my light setup too many times, and the plants show it

mostly cfls 6500k 23 watt because thats the biggest they have in the stores around here

had a 150 mh bulb 4200k

and now a dual 4' long fluorescent shop light at 6500k

I've been saving up for a Hps, and i have some bills to pay before i can upgrade

Temps have been nominal thought at 74-78 degrees
