I I have a few plants here (chemdog #4 fem from blimburn and two reg nepalese landrace, all photoperiod) and they were topped at day 25, two nights ago. One of the landrace has the usual pre flowers popping up on the main nodes and has had alternating nodes for a week beforehand as I started on a 12/12 schedule. I expect it to stretch for a bit before crowning and recover from the topping well. Going on four weeks today alongside another landrace which is recovering well from the topping with no signs of pre flower or stretch yet.


However the chemdog #4 topped at the same time has thrown pistils out the top of the top node or two overnight which are only a few cm long, but there are no pre flowers anywhere on the plant, it has not stretched and there are no alternating nodes.


Notice the complete lack of pre flowers?
Has anyone had a plant where only two nodes have begun to flower up the top with no visible sign of pre flower anywhere else on the plant, and no sign of alternating nodes anywhere?
Out of like 15 plants I've grown, I've never had a plant that didn't go through the usual alternating node pattern, into pre flower period with pistils popping up at every main node and then going into a stretch period before crowning. This chemdog has gone straight to crown with no pre flower or stretch, in two days.
What are your experiences? Have plants that crowned without pre flower stretched satisfactorily?
