Oh well, shit happens. Just gives me more room in the flower tent while I keep her in the veg tent. heh Maybe I will be replanting my Sannies tonight and sending them in when they recover. I will have to keep em small though because there are 4 of them. heh Maybe I will just wait but I feel like I am waisting light energy and space but maybe it will be a good thing because my powerkush is spreading out big time, FIMed her a week before flower. And the powerkush already has a nice skunky smell, she is gonna stink.

This is not the first instance that I have heard of White Russian auto-flowering as a mother, one of the primary reasons I never grew her. Perhaps some Ruderalis genes got mixed up in there along the way, who knows. Although I have grown Serious' BubbleGum and she is a lovely lady indeed

I found this email from Simon to someone who had a similar problem. It is not flowering it is just the way it grows I guess. I do not see hairs but he said stress can cause autoflowering to come thru so hopefully my FIM didn't stress it to autoflower. I guess I will wait and see. heh



Hi ,
You are probably reffering to preflowers at the base of every knot where the fanleave grows from the stem.

The AK-47 and also the Chronic for instance, have very noticable preflowers and more than 1 grower have mistaken these for actual budgrowth. May be you have noticed that the plants did go on growing while producing flowers at every node, but there is probably no
actual budformation.

There are usually 2 preflowers at the base of every leave, or 4 at every knot as those leaves are usually opposite of each other at the main stem. Because these preflowers are so big and abundant it seems for many people like the plant is in flower while under 18 hours of light.

Please look closely; it is probably not a cluster of flowers, but a couple of single flowers with very noticeable big white hairs sticking out. Trie to clone it should be no problem.

Also, we have never seen flowering of healthy AK-47, Chronic or White Russian plants under 24 hour of light. Flowering under 24 hour should mean stress. So place them under 24 hour of light if you think 18 is a problem. They should be fine then, if not look what is stressing them, they should not flower.

Sincerely,
Simon

And this from a Serious guy.

Hi,

You may think that what you have is auto flower but it is not.
Many of our strains will show pre flower after the 5th node.
We at Serious seeds keep our plants at 24/7 light.
All the peoples complaining about this were veging at 18/6 hours light.
As soon as they have put there plants at 24/7 they got back to veg.

Sorry for this issue.
Tell us how it goes and if you want replacement

Respect
Claude

Different strains may be triggered to flower at different dark amounts. It is possible the 8 hours of darkness is enough to trigger the flowering but I would say that they are probably preflowers like simon said, lol simon says, it must be.

 

[hempstead]

Naah it is flowering unfortunately. Hairs popping up all over now. I said fuck it and fed her some iguana bloom and threw her under the 600 at 12/12. Just frees up more space and gives me more variety. I know that the next time I grow Serious seeds I need to veg under 24/7. I guess most of their strains will do this. To be honest I would much rather grow out some Serious than an auto. But Joint Dr. breeds some nice strains, very impressive.

 

[racerboy71]

hey hempsted.. i'm also growing out some serious white russian's atm.. mine is a femed bean, but i'm only growing one of them.. i kept mine under 18 hours of light, and she never flowered on me till i flipped to the 12/ 12.. kinda glad that i read about this though, as now i'll keep an eye on any serious gear that i grow .. thanks for the heads up..

 

[Mr. Solo Dolo]

white russian is one of my strains of choice I wouldn't like it to autoflower but seems only a couple people had this problem. Maybe just keep it 24/0 if i decide to do it to stay on the safe side.

hey hempstead how much have you spend just this year alone? just curious. i think i need to slow down on my ordering already spend 310 just for this month. will be getting a small order of feminized seed ice cream, white berry, blue cheese, strawberry cough and cheese

 

[cmt1984]

my latest attitude order..

i'd be interested in seeing your sour og grow, i have a cali con's sour og at about 30 days of 12/12 right now and i'm not too impressed.

 

[racerboy71]

i'd be interested in seeing your sour og grow, i have a cali con's sour og at about 30 days of 12/12 right now and i'm not too impressed.

no? not to hurt your feelings, but i never did understand the point of doing 12 / 12 from seed.. but anyhooo's, what about the strain aren;t you impressed with, yeild, potency, vigor, smell, etc..? thanks man, as i've really been interested in growing this strain since i grew rp's sour kush a few grews ago..

 

[cmt1984]

lol you dont have to worry about hurting my feelings, my skin is a little tougher than most. oh, oops, sorry..not 30 days of 12/12 from seed, i've never done 12/12 from seed, i dont see the point either. i think i veg'd her for 5 weeks...i dont know, i never keep track of veg time, i just let them veg til they get the size i want before flowering.
the yield seems to be right on with the rest of my plants, but the smell and resin coverage are my concerns. when i squeeze the buds my fingers arent sticky at all and there is literally no smell what so ever. it looks like it will be some ok weed, but not really medical quality. but she has at least 40 days to go so all that could change. you ever grown or smoked it before?

edit. forgot to mention, i'm pretty jealous of your order lol.

fuck, edit again. lets also keep in mind i'm a single seed buyer. thats why i'd be interested to see your grow with more than just one....i may have gotten a bunk pheno or something.

 

[racerboy71]

nah.. i actually had the beans, but had traded them for something else, than wanted it back again, so ordered it again, lol.. i have yet to grow any of the cali gear yet,, i keep saying next grow, and than i get something that i want to grow first,... like i was just going to crack it this week, but i got some raskals white fire, and some ak 47 x strawberry sour d, and some sensi jack herers, so that is going to be my next grow instead of any of the cali gear... yet again, lol..

 

[cmt1984]

lol. yeah i did the same thing with querkle, kept putting it off cuz i kept ordering strains that i wanted to grow instead....finally got around to growing the querkle and she is probably the best looking and smelling plant i've grown yet, wish i would have grown her first.

sour og is my first cali con strain too, the description sold me on that one. i have a chem valley kush plant in veg right now and the plant structure is great, nice big healthy leaves and very thick stems.

I have spent a bit in the past year. lol If you throw grow equipment in the equation then I am in the 1000s. lol I am always buying equipment and seeds trying to make things even better.

I did 12/12 from seed many times. The purpose is to be able to consistantly produce a crop with only 1 area. Sativa strains do well in 12/12 and indicas can vary. I got about 3 oz off a super lemon haze 12/12 from seed.

 

[hempstead]

Just got a couple more today from EDIT. Pyramid New York City and Pyramid Northern Lights. I like the little single packages they come in, they give you all the information on the back about the plant, like flowering time, height, yield, ect. It is in Spanish but easy to figure out. heh

 

[hempstead]

I broke my Cali COnnection mug yesterday. Sucks because I liked it. Now I guess I will have to put in another order this month to get a new mug. lol

 

[hempstead]

I like the new pic.

Hmmm lame promo this month. They better throw in a trip or a contest to make some sales. lol

and whats up with the cali connection mug? you get that from the attitude?? i never go with the mug or the shirt option.. i got one mug once, and the damn shirts are always too damn small for me as i'm 6 4 and weigh about 220 or so.. i've been going with the hemp back pack option.. i really like the bag, and it fits me, lol..
