How long can I veg with preflowers?

I had a timer crap out on me and the timings got a little tweaked. Anyways, the stress gave my 4-week-old blueberry plants preflowers, but they are not nearly where I want them yet. So, how long can I veg them without any major recourse?


Vegging under 6 4ft t5's
Will flower under 2 x 600watt hps

Just keep vegging 'em. Look at it as a forced re-vegging. It might stall 'em a bit but they'll start back up again once they realize the routine is back to 18/6 or whatever you're using.

i'm under T5s as well and my timer crapped out for no more than a day. 3 of the 4 preflowered. 1, even when switched to 24/0 for two weeks and then 20/4, continued to flower for over a month and a half. could have been an autoflowering strain.. bag seed. but it's a pretty huge coincidence that my timer broke just as it decided to flower. just thought our situations were at least remotely similar. think i heard about it being hard to keep plants in veg with T5s? maybe? i don't really remember to be honest but might want to check into it if you'd be seriously unhappy if they continued to flower rather than reveg

My initial fear is they would continue to flower no matter what. When the timer went out I had just transplanted from a 1gal to a 5gal. So, they were already a tad stressed between the extra water and transplant. They were on 18/6 at the time. The next light cycle got cut short by only 2 hours and then a day later they were sexing. Sensitive right?
