im new to all this but my plants are 3 weeks old the first 2 weeks they were just on my window sill then i put them in to a grow room but just noticed that a few of them are starting to produce little white hairs/pettles to me it looks just the same the fem plant shows when its gone into flower!! is it going in to flower? i have the light on 24/7 or is this normal?

the day light hours here are 11hrs light and 13 hrs dark here at the time they were on the sill

im new to this stil too but that kinda looks like its starting to show its sex and usualy that happens at end of veg and start of flowring but if you just took it off the window sill wen it only had 11 light hours it might of started flowering already because it thinks the seasons almost over becasue of the light and itll try reproducing but if you switched it back to more light it should put itself back into veg but it shouldnt be at 24/7 light it needs some dark, thats were it does most its growing. Im not 100% sure i read up on it a lot but might want to take other oppinions. i say you should have at most a 20/4 day 20light 4dark also your going to need mroe light if want them to grow bigger.

Its flowering because of the light cycle you had it on while in the window sill. Just keep the light on it 24/7 or 18/6 and you should be fine.

ya the plants are stretched prob because he had them in the windo at a 11/13 light and they were going threw their flowering but hes right should start over, going from flower back to veg takes time and itll just take longer waiting for them to switch back over, you could leave them but ittl jsut a take a little time

What kind of light are you using anyway? Keep that light as close to them as possible without burning them. If its to hot for your hand to be underneath them its too hot for the plants.

Yup, she's starting. You'd want your plant larger than that - typically, before starting to flower. Growing your plant on your window-sill this time of the year, makes the plant do everything possible to flower, before it's too late. Before winter.

If you want to have something to harvest, to speak of, your plants need to get larger before flowering starts, but one can have quite a bit of joy in a small plant, they just yield relatively little - obviously.

I always said "The more light the better"

I would atleast try to double what you have now for 9 plants. Thats a big area for those little girls alot of light is being wasted

also are you using tin foil to reflect light? I think thats a big no no. And if it is tin foil i would upgrade to mylar, or even one of those emergency blankets.
