I ran into a situation in the growing room. When i went in to water my plants today i noticed that they were flowering. The problem is, I have my lights set on 18/6, my timer goes off in the middle of the day for bout an hr, i didnt think it would affect it like this, i try to catch it when im home, which i usually do but from the looks of it, it looks like they only been budding for a few days, i swear when i last watered them a couple of days ago i didnt see nothing, its like it sprang up out of no where. The only good thing that came out of this tragedy is i found out which of my 8 babies were male and female, The good thing is i only had to do away with 2 out of the 8, so now i have 2 white widow instead of 4, 3 afghan and 1 random seed i picked up off my floor. My question is can i force them back into veg by putting them on 24 hrs of light
Heeeelllllppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!

you could, but the stress could make them turn hermaphrodite.
Stupid question but are you sure they're not just showing their sex? vegging plants usually do this after several weeks under 24 hours light or 18/6.

why is your timer killing off for 1 hour a day? this hour is in the middle of light cycle? if so that could have triggered it it, truthfully i dunno if less than 12 hours a day can triger flower without 12 hours dark. but its confusing your plants either way. if it continues in flower you can almost bet on hermis. yeah at 24/0 they will reveg if thats whats happend. you could just be seeing preflowers, how long have they been vegging

The only thing this "Mix spectrum" will do is help with flowering... you can flower with just your orange spectrum (I forget which temp is which for CFL's right now... its been many years) However if you mix a few blue bulbs in, it could potentially make your buds more funky. I would recomend it, just for the plain fact that flowering with CFL's is tough, and typically disappointing unless you PACK them in there!
also....
I would have to agree from what I'm hearing. At the same time....... FIX THAT TIMER!
