Okay so i have been vegging my girls for a little bit over a month and i noticed today that they were preflowering. Now i know that when they start to preflower it means that they are ready to be switched to flower. My problem is that I still want them to veg for another month because i topped/LST them so they are still small. So my question is if I keep them under 18/6 will they continue to preflower or will they just stay where they are at? I know what a preflower is so im not mistaking it for something else.
Will it keep flowering slowly over the next month or not sprout any more preflowers. I usually flower before this happens so it's new to me
You will have preflowers on most of the nodes. That's just a part of cannabis becoming mature. It will never flower at all if you keep the lights on over 18 hrs/day. Veg for however long you want. When you want to flower it switch the lights to 12/12.
Preflowers just means it's mature enough to flower, not that you have to. It really stretches in flowering though. What are your height restrictions?
