New plant(3months in cycle) already budding?

[X.mr-green.X]

Planted - Germinated - F.I.M. on the forth node(2 1/2 weeks in cycle) - 3months in and already showing blatant signs of budding.

Life-cycle ^

The question i pose is, 'I did a ''F.I.M.'' in a specific way to provoke abundance in nodes on the plant also leading up to early budding?'
I say this because I've observed a lot of the life-cycle, growth rate etc on my past and current grows and im not sure what to make of it...

Question ^

So I did a F.I.M. on my plant and its already budding 3 months in its cycle, basically. I'd like to hear what people have to say about this as I am discombobulated concerning this and am now applying the same method onto my other plants.

To the point synopsis ^

Well it’s three months old and you haven’t induced flowing but yet it’s trying to flower. What light cycle you got them on? Pics? Details on your grow please. Also at that age it may be trying to tell you she’s ready to start producing when the light cycle shifts to12/12

Will edit post now. Well I unknowingly stated to people that I thought it was a kind of auto flowering plant but was unsure as to why... It was an assumption based off my lack of knowledge of it. The grow was as a grow should go, on the forth node i did a F.I.M. and watched it grow over its lifetime.(having to change lights until the 7th -8th node[white light{LED X2 125 lm X1 170 lm} to full spectrum UFO growing light[190-200 lm - 150 w]) I saw that the nodes were way too close for a grow but it didnt catch my attention at the time and now it's starting to stop growing in size and I see that there are small pistils forming on the top of the plant(this is current time). The light is 18/6 (light/dark)

That's probably the pre-flowers you looking at, meaning the plant is sexually mature to flower. Unless you have the room and the proper lighting to grow a monster i suggest you change to 12/12 light schedule and start flowering it right away. Pics of the plant and of the flowers could help us help you out.

Going by the pistils forming on the top and a decreased growth rate. I thought of the possibility being temperature(as the cold stunts their growth and the warmth helps with the physical growth) but my grow room doesn't exceed 21 degrees Celsius which I've found is a good temperature and it hasn't proven otherwise. Still deciding if its truely flowering or if its just a pretty face.

It does not look like it is flowering yet.
Nice color leaves!
The most important thing to learn is to keep it green and you are doing good.
The size of the plant is an issue.
Most likely your lighting. I'm not familiar with your LED lights, others may have knowledge of them and if they are enough light.
The other thing affecting the size may be your soil or medium.
What soil are you using to grow?​

 

[blake9999]

I hate to tell you but that plant is a tad small for being 3 months old. You should have a nice size tree by now. What type of soil and nutrients you using?

Like others have said it’s not flowering. Also that’s sad a little sad for three months it stretched a lot and looks like you butchered it. But to each his own.

Yeah there was a bug problem and some leaves were damaged so those on the top are whats left of that.

My assumption concerning the size of the plant is most probably due to it having that F.I.M. early in its life(my thoughts on F.I.M.-ing: your plant will reduce height due to the possible amount of energy the plant is using to constantly create new nodes leaving stem growth at a minimum[ I've noticed that if you F.I.M. in a certain way it will cause the plant to create an abundance of nodes ]) and the nutrients i use have an NPK ratio of 5:2:5(accounting for the lack of phosphorus i experimented a bit by mixing vegetable peels, banana peels etc). I hope I've answered my questions on topic and in correlation

For an answer to the size look at the reply i made to "blake9999" above. Lights are full spectrum UFO growing lights(190-200 lm & 145 w) and they have great results when the plants photosynthesize and for light coverage too(and yes they're LEDs). Using regular soil(nothing special) but i made a mixture of fruit and vegetable peel/shavings to mix with the soil to account for the phosphorous. And thank you haha, i try my best to keep them healthy.

You need some more light for next grow or keep I closer

If you fimed the plant you should have more tops. Fiming after all is just half ass topping. I generally top until I have 12 mains per plant. They are done starting once they get three to four nodes and usually I have it done by time I hit one month of veg time. At a month plants are most times 24 inches before flipping to 12/12.

At the moment my plants seem to be keeping small and is a significant sign exhibiting how much light the plant actually needs, meaning in essence: Plant small = Has enough light & Plant big = Has not equilibrium amount of light where its trying to receive as much as it can because its not sufficient for retrieving light so they change their environment so that they can receive the amount of light that they really need by e.g. growing higher toward the light so it can be closer or it will have its leaves grow bigger so they can catch more light. If you do not understand i can reiterate?

The problem with your statement is the pic you showed how much it stretched nodes are few and far between. I agree if you have adequate light they’ll stay shorter to a degree but looking at you plant and the amount of time you’ve had it in veg don’t mesh. Thus why I said you need more or keep them closer.

I strongly disagree with that but i respect your opinion; The methods of F.I.M.-ing is quite complex and you should really do research if you wish to reiterate, confirm, or alter what I replied to you in my last comment. Sorry to say but I'm unable to piece out what you said in your 3rd, 4th & 5th sentence

It’s easy and I’ve done it. If you need a refresher I have about 15 other articles and books if you want to read them too.

Yes I see what you mean. I mentioned above(beginning of the thread) that I did a switch of lighting so the plants would have peculiar features due to the change in lighting in its life-cycle. I'll draw up a sketch quickly to show you what I mean
