If you are talking about just preflowers that is normal but if you are talking about accually getting bud sites and starting to develop buds then it could be one of many things, Erratic lighting, its been vegging so long that its it ints genetics to go ahead and flower or its an auto flower plant and it will flower whenever the heck it wants.

Hello Dear SIR... :)

There are plants that have AUTOMATIC flowering... like lowryder...

I do not reccomend leaving the light on for 24 hours... NEVER...

20 hours at most... the plant needs a dark period to do .. what plants do..

Im thinking what he is talking about would just be new growth, I see alot of people getting new growth shoots confused w/ the female pistils, I even did at one time. pics would definately help us out to help you out

NO - 18-6 is normal vegetative growth... If you want them to flower... give them 12/12.. and it is important that they get 12 hours of uninterupted darkness.

cheers

hey mr Ganja thx alot i was told that any darkness would set plants into flowering if the plants had been under 24 hr lighting ,and somewhat believed it i really think plants need to sleep also but i have non working timers and am also on a budget ill try to get some asap

i've grown some beautiful plants under 24 hour lighting, but i keep my lights on during vegetative as it helps the heat in my grow room. I'm in a cold climate so its necessary for my plants to grow well...

not done mine any harm...

To get back to the main argument in the thread, Do I use 24hr MH light on my plants or should I run 18-6 or 20-4. I understand that plants resperate based on day night cycles but again, i dont know how weed should be living. Again, this is Veg only.

I always run my clone and veg lights at 24 hours on.I find it grows faster has more compact plants and I dont get any hermies from it.I only usually veg for 10 days in aero but I dont like to veg plants bigger then 14 inches tall.

Actually, Nathst8, as written above there are only 3 possibilities. 1. It's not flowering but maybe sex showing or even less, new leafs sites. 2. You have autoflowering (God i wish i had some) in which case you'll have your buds in 45 days no matter what you do and 3. You've messed up badly with lights (long power breakdowns, hiding from unexpected visitors or other many reasons for which the plants had a few more darkness hours than you wished for)... but very unlikely as switching from vegging to flowering might take up to 2 weeks of quite a rigorous dark period. Hopefully is no. 2, but most likely is no. 1.
