Hi, My plant is in its 5th week of vegetation and I noticed yesterday balls/seeds on one of the five plants I have. How could this be? Balls/Seeds already? on one plant only. I've seen males before, they have a green bag almost like a female starting to flower but without the pistils... but this one looks like seeds. Also: can I keep my plants on veg until I get the height desired (3ft) , with light ON 18/6 for 8-12 weeks and so on? they are healthy but not tall. avg 11 inches lights are: 400 watts MH for veg 400 watts HPS for flowering Thanks for any advice and suggestions.
that's how all my males looked, dunno what to tell you and yes, your plant will stay in veg as long as it gets less than 12 hrs of uninterrupted light a day. so 18/6, or 24/0, etc... anything will work
Yeah that's what I thought....I guess I'll pull this one in a day or two just to see if Luck changes. ( thanks for your comment) Any answers to how it got balls when I'm not even in flowering?
you don't need to flower to show sex when a plant is mature enough, it'll pop balls or pistils (usually around the 6-8th node I've noticed, shortly after they go from branches on both sides of a node to alternating one branch at each node) that just means it's sexually mature and ready to flower, doesn't mean it's going into flowering. People often force them to show sex by flowering, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen otherwise. As long as you keep it away from 12/12 it'll keep vegging
