Hey all me and my dad took a couple clones on a plant that just showed signs of sex at the beginning of 12/12. we put the clones under a 24/0 schedule and they seemed to be doing good, but when i looked at them today they were VERY purple towards the bottom and they were already flowering. Very confused any help on what happend would be greatly appreciated.
Never heard of this but... I've also heard that it isn't easy to clone a plant that is already flowering, your clones where most likeyl well aware of the age of the mother plant so to make sure the plant can reproduce before the "winter" it will either rush into or continue to flower. But you are sure that you have roots right? As far as I know flowering plants are hard to root.
My guess is the clones thought they were still in flower, so they contuined too, and then showed sex. now they are probly reverting back to veg.
that is a good point I suggest switching to 12/12 right away to keep them in flower. You will get a bud spike growing out of the dirt. (very sexy way to grow) If you let them go back into veg it will take some time maybe a week Then when you want to flower them again it will take more time (maybe a week or more if you veg 24/0 the whole time.
