My mother plants are starting to bud and they are under 24 hour light. Is this normal or something to stress over..
 
#2
Not normal but it happens, defoliate, start heavy ni feed like 16-16-16
Add silica, cal mag , humic, Lower lights closer to canopy
Increase intensity
Increase temp
Increase humidity to 65%

That’s what I do when this happens
 
#3
What are your light stats (PAR, DLI)? What kind of light are you using?
 
#4
For mother’s 700w
Puts out about 600 par on center to about 150 4’ cube
Viaspectra using blue wave with red and white at 25%
I have about 100 of these for my mothers , each mother gets one

Btw I prefer flowering mothers to clone from. Monster cropping.
I get cuts from flowering plants , and the mothers under full light I use to perpetuate the strain. All clones are from flowering plants. Takes longer cycles but man the branching off the get go is phenomenal.
Key in veg is adding 2 more weeks to veg.

I was wondering about that. No wonder it takes longer for your clones to root. Not a bad idea tho. I like it.

How many plants, how high above canopy and how many lights? Proper coverage? Are there a lot of shadowed areas within the canopy? Has the canopy been thinned out thoroughly for light penetration? Is it flowering on the top, sides, inside or all over? I know this sounds like a lot of questions, but I ask because improper lighting can yield forced flowering (or some unknown space between flower/veg). Also, how tall are the moms and what's the pot size? Pics may be helpful honestly.

Agee 100% shandowing along with light cycle change if in outdoor greenhouse all of those factors you described would combine to cause issues

Doc, I looked at your other thread and I'm seeing some very unkept mothers. The tallest one could be cut down a significant amount and it looks like it really needs a heavy pruning. A better/closer photo would help.

I top all my mothers to keep em flat. Clones are taken from lowers anyway so no sense letting her get tall.

This makes sense, I need to trim them up. I will get on that and post pictures when it's done.

Your photo period has to be messed up then. If I were u I'd get someone to help with your new adventure. If your already asking these questions your big flower room will be a challenge in all honesty .I grow big rooms it's not exactly simple .

Well that's easier said then done . That's why I'm in these forums. I do have 2 experienced growers a phone call away that can stop by. But I prefer to work it out the best I can before I have to call them over. Plus you folks have extensive knowledge in this community.. I mean isnt that what a grow forums about. Community and Comradeship

As we had mentioned before. Think upside down Christmas tree. Chop off all that excess branching on the bottom. I'd probably take it up 1-2 feet honestly. That mom is a mess, no offense.
