flowering in april?? not an auto!

they were getting too big to keep inside my experimental closet grow. im fine with losing some grow time as they are somewhat big already? and thier clones so i dont see why they would herm? another one is showing pistols too. sooo hope its not a total loss!

just because its gonna reveg doesn't mean its gonna herm

I've never seen a re-veged plant hermaphrodite, and I've done it about 25 times, doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but I think people think any little stress will cause plants to herm, that's simply not true. In fact I've NEVER seen a stabilized plant herm, only plants that have a tendency to herm in the first place.

i somewhere read or heard of some guy who sold clones would purposely reveg his plants causing a bunch of new shoots to grow out so hed have more cuttings to clone??? newbie going off hear say? any truth to that?

I have always found that June 1st is the magic date. I never put clones out before then or they always flower on me. I would at the least hang a 14 watt fluorescent flood light over it at night, for 18 hrs of light per day on a timer. They might snap out of it and you can put them outdoors under sun by June. It seems like they naturally start to veg after there is about 14 1/2 hrs of light. Around June 1st there is about 15 hrs of sun per day, so it works out well, especially if you have your lights on a 18 or 16 hr light cylcle. That was for the latitude of Southern Humboldt County latitude. Get some new clones and put them under 17 or 18 hrs of light til June 1st, they might do better than the ones going into flowering now. Sometimes they don't pop back out. Up in Central Oregon where I live now I might be able to put them out earlier, by 4 or 5 days, since my latitude is higher and the days are a little longer (by about 15 minutes). If you are in Washington you could probably put them out on may 22 or so.

Here is a cool sun calculator to see what date you will have 15 hrs of sun. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunrise.html

Los angeles i do seeds 1st or second week in may and clones 3rd week in may to june 1

excellent thanks !

If you threw those plants out and replaced them with new clones in say 2 weeks from now they will grow much much bigger and better.

It takes so long to get back to full veg. I never understand why people put plants out so early(except light dep. grows), November is the best time to put plants out down here which is May up there?. I put some Malawi clones out mid December(June) and are 7' tall now on one of the shittiest seasons I've had.

You lose around 6 weeks if I am to believe the books I read....

That's absolutely inaccurate....6wks is damn near a flowering cycle....the transition from veg to flower or flower to reveg is at most 2 maybe 3 weeks.. Depending on temps and strain...the colder it is the longer it takes...it'll take six weeks if your area is 6weeks away from a veg cycle..it's the same when sexing...females come from a 12/12 sexing cycle and out right outside in natures current veg cycle, in two weeks you see new veg growth...I do it Every year...did it this year and still have seeds sexing on 12/12....

That's why when possible (if the grower has an indoor setup)the revegged plant will be brought inside and put under 18/6...or...24/0...dramatically reducing that time frame...I've revegged both ways...and yield never suffered....I have pics if you'd like to see...

thanks too all...with all the differnt stuff comin at me ive come to a conclusion! its already flowerin, id be losing veg time if i wait to see it re-veg, i can start new ones as late as june, im not gonna kill 'em! i figure im closer to full flower cause i took 'em out so early... soooo the only logical answer i can come up with is LIGHT DEPREVATION! i got two plants lit more than 2ft tall in full flower, a 12x12 tarp can easily cover them, already got a good spot to prop the tarp on and be able to roll it back! figure id have 6 weeks to go i can start my new ones with in like 5 weeks dont really wanna be over my limit of six. so lets hear what if any y'all have to say bout that?

Good to know...I have only revegged once, by error in my first season ..I always thought it stunted the plants a bit and hurt yields...I could of been some other problem that I didn't notice..

I've still got 3 in my ghetto greenhouse flowering and I've already seeded a couple buds and they look like they are gonna keep flowering til finished. I've never ever started this early before and to be honest, having bud outdoors to harvest in early May without intentionally depriving it light is pretty fucking cool to me.

I also have four clones in 5 gallon buckets that have started to flower in the ghetto greenhouse and I'm letting them continue, because when I harvest my indoor in a couple weeks, I'm gonna slap those four clones in the flowering chamber and it should shave a couple or three weeks off my flowering time. Love n that!

I would argue that it really depends how far the flowering cycle has progressed. and what you view as flowering, because some say their plant are flowering the second they see hairs. I would agree that yes it does take about 2-3 weeks to resume vegetative growth from flower but hardly seeing any growth in those 2 weeks. then it grows fucked up and slow for 3-4 weeks until it finally grows NORMAL vegetative growth and resumes growing at a normal rate. However if you start revegging during preflower, the process will not take as long, and wont be as detrimental. OP's plant is about as far as Id want a plant to be in flower, before having to reveg. It appears that he's already got new vegetative growth coming, If buds kept forming another week or so, could of been a different story

And yes Id like to see pics to see what u deem flowering, because something tells me you are just letting your plants show sex and then putting back in veg,

But you see his plants in the pic...he's in the early beginning of flower...no actual buds have formed...his transition would be short...

I had a GSC clone 24 hr light, that I decided to put out ( noob ). It budded then reveged. Still got good result. This yr I was given a Chernobyl clone so I put it out ( since I was going out of state. Came back and it's got nice buds. Any ideas how to keep it in flower?
Pics coming.

Look up "Light Depravation"....cover them for 12hrs at night...

Here she is. Kind of sad that I got to cover her up!

You won't be sorry.......

lol, i just started a thread on the same subject. i live in the s.w. desert, fairly close to mexico. i just don't get how it flowered already. i figured it would eventually revert back to veg....
