Beginner - NEED HELP - after sex, back to veg? & 4 how long? ALSO autoflwring tips?

[GibbsIt89]

i put my baby under 12 and 12 for under 2 weeks, found out it was a she so i put it back in veg stage, now the plant was like 6 months old when i finally decided to do this but, my first one, topped it so it has 2 nice big tops along with 2 big second "tops" from the lower branches, its about 30 inches tall mind you ive stretched the tops out to get light to the middle so its probly pushing 40 plus if i take the ties off ( its only this small becuz i trimmed it so early not knowing, probly would have bin twice as big ). All has bin working fine i use a line of nutrients called DNF (Dutch Nutrients Formula) sold at HOMEGROWN HYDROPONICS inc. (1-800-info-grow) and also i use miracle grow potting mix (which i think i should be using just plane soil with no nutrients in it but too late for this mother) but back to what my problem really is..... ive had it growing for about 2 months in its "second veg stage" if you will after sexing and the pistils are turning brown that came out when i sexed 2 months back and i havent even started budding it yet, used A&B bloom or anything! so i am worried that this will create seeds now, shitty yeild, or w/e it be when i do decide to bud? or will the plant regenerate new pistils and carry on thru budding just fine? shes my first one, under a 400w MH neutral bulb, i even bot a warm deluxe for flowering stage! i hope all is fine, i have a few others growing now as well but this was the "learning" plant so i wanted to keep growing it as long as possible and make it as big as possible before actually budding, also could i make clones of this plant and try again if i take a branch that had grown after the sexing (so no pistils)???????? PLEASE HELP! any suggestions reguarding yeild, budding, soil combinations, harvesting tips, AUTOFLOWERING! etc. MORE then welcome, THANX (also how do i post a pic in this? i just joined this site)

those old pistils died, thats not something to worry about. Your plant isnt flowering so it isnt making any more, pistils die and are replaced during flowering. What your talking about is normal, it sounds about right for them to die off.

for a plant to go hermie it usually needs a prolonged amount of stress something thats continuos and that can cause damage time and time again. maybe its a dog that keeps stepping on the plant everyday outside. you get the point. if your keeping your plants environment under control and its been only vegging now then i wouldnt worry bout shitty buds dude. keep eevrything under control the plants just ignoring putting nutes into making her pistils all nice and healthy cuz shes not looking to produce fruit anymore shes now growing, all her energy is now diverted to the vegg cycle.

im super baked so this was all maybe peices but really doubt your buds are gona be shitty just cuz the sexing you did

sweet thanx so i would assume u can put it back into veg for as long as possible right, thats what ppl do with a mother plant to keep cloneing right?

i have also just started an autoflowering strain called Mi5 off the site dope-seeds.com but i havent herd any tips on autogrower's any ideas?????

like lighting, soil, nutrients, there could be many different ways to grow this because of the different genetics right

i also have a quick question about the tips on my plants being yellow/burnt.. what does this mean???? over watering, too much nutrients? this is on pretty much all of my new plants (from seed) but the mother plant (my first, and my baby) is fine but used to have the same problem a bit ago.

ALSO on one of the new plants, the first set of leaves that are only one leaf are burnt all around the edges not like the other ones where it is just the tips. and the second set of leaves that have came out of this plant are looking a little deformed, normally i would just toss these deformed ones out or give them to a friend cuz i dont care to put time and effort into curing it when i hav tons and tons of highgrade seeds etc. but if i learnt a few things then i mayb wouldnt waste these plants by giving them away or throwing them out because obv. i have already wasted space, energy, time, and nutrients on them.

not really, just act like it was normal plant. well, besides starting in big containers so the roots have plenty of space and you dont get the slowdown of the roots hitting the bottom and sides nearly as bad. switch to flower nutes approx 2-3 weeks into flower, use a mixed spectrum of lighting. if you follow my advice and get a good soil like fox farm ocean forest(mix w/25% pearlite, example, for a 1 gallon container you want 1/4 a gallon of pearlite mixed in) and start in bigger containers(3-5 gallon at least imo) you shouldnt really need to give them any veg nutes. maybe one or 2 later on towards the start of flowering. A veg feeding in the middle of flowering will stop your fan leaves from all dying too early from a nitrogen def. So i'd advise you do so.

You need to give me detailed info, feeding,watering,soil, lighting,temp.ph,....all those things and more are variables that could be in play.
