I had planned on breeding them in that tent with some Hawaiian genetics I had coming, they were just bag seeds so they’re not in my main tent.

I think you have just the wrong idea of sexual majurity of plants.
btw, just sayin')
It always works That mightbe correct, but there's places on earth where in summer solstice the daily sun-hours higher than 19 hours.... for example anchorage.
I’ve had preflowers at week 6 in 20/4 I wasn’t sure what it was until I did some research. I’ve had preflowers show all over plants and then you know they’re healthy enough for flower, I’m not sure light cycle weighs into a plants preflowers. I’ve heard everyone say that Preflowers just show up when the plant is resdI think you have just the wrong idea of sexual majurity of plants.
The sexual organ of the plant actually is the flower, the more flower it grew before it got pollenised, the more mature it is. (yap, we're smoking pussies
When you not have any preflowers and switch the lights, you give the plants the signal to invest all their energy into getting more mature (to try to reproduce).
The way it works is that the plant produces sugar with the light, but it growth with those consuming them in the night time. The length of the night-time... that is what the plants decided what to spend the sugars on!
Weed has no puberty! The only thing you need to consider is that it needs to vegetate through your entire grow space indoors, so it catch catch light and when that is finished: You switch the light... or you just waste TIME, ENERGY, HEIGHT and need to do a lot of defoliation.
The only reason why you wait for preflowers to show up, is when you must select out males from regular seeds, as this uncovers their sex/gender before the risk of pollenisation.
The plant has a inner day-clock to detect the season-time, the circadian clock.
This clock is evolutionary programmed from the season influences to drive the reproduction.
The more overall total time in darkness it spend, the more faster this ticking clock introduces flowering, and vice versa.
Thats why you should grow your motherplants at 20/4. This is short darkness enough to produce cuttings that have no circadian stress to introduce flowering, yet.
It influences what kind of plantparts growth your plants focuses in.....
12/12 obviously goes into focusing flowers.
20/4 is great for mothers, propagation, cuttlings, seedling and for repotting, goes into plant focus roots.
But it's not "only" that. The quality of the light (blue/red-amount or colortemp whitelight) also plays in.
It is just about signalling the right quality of light (spectrum, duration, intensity)..... you do't wait for the plant to tell you when it's ready to switch the light, you make sure it has grown enough roots and can catch enough light in your growing space, and then you start giving the signal
That mightbe correct, but there's places on earth where in summer solstice the daily sun-hours higher than 19 hours.... for example anchorage.
What you not want is 24/0, because as I said above, the plant consumes up the produced sugars in the night to proceed with the actual growing. It converts the harvested energy from the light into growth at nights.... so 24/0 is a bad idea.
I use a base soil through the middle and was planning on flowering it a while ago so it would have ate into the flower food at the right time, did not time it well hahahaha I should’ve left it for a transplant
They're healthy enough for flower without preflower, absolutely THE SAME.
I just told you that there is other factors, not only the duration... but also the SPECTRUM and the INTENSITY....if you give it enough DLI and a redweighted spectrum.... it promotes flowering... stop reducing everything on only ONE thing.... theres "factors"... duiration is "a factor", one of many. You did not enough research, i doubt you did any real research at all.
I can tell you with certainty, but since you don't want to check the information for yourself, it makes more sence for me to leave you not-sure and stop argueing.
I’m not reading all that you seem like a “special” type of person to reply like that. You’re not god on this forum man take a step back and just give some advice don’t be like that.I recommend you to start here:
Understanding the Circadian Rhythms in Cannabis Plants
Let’s light up a discussion about how circadian rhythms in cannabis truly work & how to get the best harvest possible.sensiseeds.com
First realize, that there is MORE to it, then just the duration. The plant has more sensory apperatus than just only the duration to detect the season, so it is NOT ENOUGH to keep it in vegetation only by duration forever without considering the other factors that make it sensor changes to it's inner clock. Too much red or too much DLI makes it develop signs of preflower no matter what.... because high intensity red light is sign of the autmn! No shits! You can't trick the plant with 20/4 when you give them the light spectrum/red-intensities of the autumn.... what you think... that the PLANT is stupid??? That you can fool it only with a timer clock and thats it.... no.
Then secondly please drop the idea of a plant, wether it be clone-cuttling or seedling has a puberty and need to show gender-signs to be ready to reach it's full potential with switching the light. These preflowering are 0% neccessary....
Whats necessary instead?
- Plants have enough roots for flowering.
- Leaves have grown all over the square
If you reached that state, with these two pre-conditionsbeeing ready to start.
Then switch the lights...it is weed....any further wait is a waste of:
-TIME
-ENERGY
-HEIGTH
The flowering will be 100% intense and maximally strong WITHOUT waiting for your feminised cannabis to show signs of preflower.
It's just a simple minded myth....
yeah...that sounds like a real good plan...since at least half of what you tell people is horseshit
Admittedly, pretty hard to tell from a picture. I find that 99% of the people I try to help (as karmic repayment to all those who helped me) have pH lockout and/or root rot. You're right; in buzzing by, I saw the dark leaves and assumed too much. I also missed that it stunk. I'll change my opinion at this point to some sort of infection. I'm guessing they plant didn't live or produced poorly?
what ended up happening to the plant?
