Should I yank'em and start fresh?

[BackyardFarmer]

Crystals starting to show now...still 3 weeks from longest day. Can I use clones from these plant to get another 4 started, or will they immediatly go into flower like their momma? I may just leave these and spend the summer getting some experience growing, this is my first crack at it.

Dont worry they will start vegging again soon. And actually alot of ppl take clones in the first week of flower.

 

[missnu]

yeah...I say let them go...our seasons have just gotten a little off...it will all work out though.

 

[Kaendar]

And your title is disturbing.. why would u yank em?? That would be a dumbass move.

 

[missnu]

I feel like sometimes clones show sex just because they are clones also....I use 18/6 lighting and only take clones in veg now, but still the clones will get preflowers, before the mom plant does if from seed...but really they should return to veg and everything should carry on as normal...if they flower out...then just keep a few cutting inside under 24 hr light...then once rooted keep moving them outside and flowering...just have the sun as your flower room this year I guess...but I would assume that the plants will figure it out...they know better than we do what time of year it really is.

Dude they're so green and healthy! Dont even think about yanking them.

What I do recommend is buying one more clone. Leave it in a shady part during the day. Bring the baby back in and keep it near any light source. I just keep it in the kitchen. Put it out between 11pm and 12am. Do this for about 4-7 days. 4 worked for me. 7 to be safe. Honestly the ones I only did 4 days were Sativas so that may have had something to do with it. So make it a week if its an indica. After a week, just leave it out in the sun. She'll be just fine.

Since you're under your plant limit, try this technique out. If it works for you, you'll have more confidence come next season.

Go and buy you a clone now and plant it straight into the ground on the third of June. It will outgrow the ones that are revegging now. Keepem green dirrtyd

The "crystal" is caused by the UV rays being projected from the sun becoming stronger as we reach summer. The plant creates them to protect it from them and in turn giving you more crystal looking plants. From what I have read it is just a natural protection layer as well as may possibly increase potency by increasing trichome production.

I hate it when that happens!!

I highly agree here. Mostly because June 4th is a full moon. Theory is that if you can acclimate the plant to outdoor night conditions, it will be less likely to start budding on you. Many a hippy has told me that full moons can delay flowering.

Beautiful and green! Yank is SUCH a hurtfull word,Please no

 

[BackyardFarmer]

Hey you folks are great, I'll leave them then. I'll be interested to see what I get out of these come harvest time.

WAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? Those "crystals" are trichomes, which form as the summer ends and days grow shorter. Its part of the flowering process which happens so that the plant can reproduce before the winter kills it.

Just to add to everyone else a cannabis plant once introduced to more to 13 hours of will go back to veg. Cause there is a build up of a chemical if the chemical is released more then 13 hours the plant will think winter is coming and start bud. I think the reason people say 16 is to be safe. Cause rather then pushing it and stressing the plant or worse hermaphroditing it.
