Bad genetics versus good.

[laddyd]

So a little background. I have some seeds from a friends grow. It was a Mexican haze photo from a company that shall remain nameless. It obviously hermied on him, the sample he gave me had quite a few seeds. I was experimenting with different germination methods and rather than use my good seeds I germinated some hermie seeds [paper towel after soaking worked best]. I hate to waste so I decided to grow one of the hermie's outside figuring a mexican haze might stand up to a desert summer. Check out the pictures.
Ten inches tall and it's starting to flower? Not supposed to be an autoflower. What do you think? Bad genetics?


Meanwhile in the tent we have 3 different plants from North Atlantic Seed Company. 1 week older than the Hermie and 2 feet taller! No comparison A fine example of good genetics.

The spring equinox was just a couple weeks ago, so if it's outside then it's getting barely over 12 hours of light. In which case it's not too surprising that it went straight to flower. Most folks wait until May (in the northern hemisphere) to put out their outdoor plants.

I don't think anywhere on the globe has long enough days to do anything else right now

Genetics set the potential, the rest is up to the grower.

If you continue it will reveg
Way too early to allow these short days to influence it unless you plan to light dep

robably right

Probably right, I figured with 14 hours of visible light it would be ok, not so. I hope it re-vegs, the experiment is to see if it can survive summer outside.

its a weed, it will survive and monster grow from the flowering sites. just make sure you have a good planting hole ready for her. she will amaze you
