hey i have 25 plants under 6-26watt Cfls and the have been alive for about 1 month now. 2 different strains. All plants are healthy, nice dark green etc.. The other day i noticed almost pollen sacks on a few plants and today i noticed little white hairs on a few others?? Ive had my lights set on 18/6 since day 1. this doesn't make any sense how could a few of these plants be flowering??? What should I do??

doesnt look like their even worth flowering since their only like 8".
I just went into the grow room and removed 5 males so far which by the looks of it are sativa, those are the seeds i got for free and aparatly they were sum kinds of seeds from BC. The others which i beleive are "fast pine" all look good..

you dont have to start flowering just cause they wanna let them grow some more mine where 8 inches when they started to show a few days ago and now they are 10 and the pre flowers havent gotten any bigger i would just let them go till you are ready to flower i mean if you are still on 18/6 just stay there till you are ready or clone the ones that have the preflowers and get rid of the ones that dont yeah small yeild this time but next time you will have all girls and some skunk ass buds

those are preflowers. they are supposed to be there. you get a few during the first stages of vegging. it happens almost every time one starts from seeds. it is completely normal. take the females and do with them exactly what you originally intended to do with them. put them outside now and by sept they will be huge. :)

I make my plants flower early so i can tell the males from the females.When done i jack up vegetative formula to about 10-2-4.Then i cut off a couple lower branches so all growth goes into the top stem of the plant.

Can you grow a plant from a seed in just hydroton alone. or do you have to start it in petemoss or soil first?

wow you sure know a lot about flowering for someone who asks ridiculous questions. Oh well try looking in the newbie section and to answer your question i wouldn't you'll well loose your seed germ in a paper towel then plant in something like rockwool or peat disks then in your system oh yeah one more thing you'll get your posts responded to much much faster if you make your own thread

The preflowers have gotten bigger on a few plants, one plant has like popcorn size buds on it. Is this still normal?? I've pulled about 10 males from my garden, theres about 8 preflower females and the rest havent preflowered at all.... any thoughts
