I remember a number of years ago, running Early Girl and Juicy Fruit. Had about 10 of each clone under 24hrs of flouro lights. Late May put those outdoors in the ground and within 2 weeks 6/10 Early Girl clones were flowering!! Genetics and the light change triggered them to flower

That's flowering. Could it be an autoflower?
Bought the seeds online. Not supposed to be auto. Don't have any kind of explanation though. On timer. 16 hours. No power outages. Guess it's time to switch to 12.

Yep! Those are pistols, flowering has begun.

It’s so exciting to see for the first time, I’m excited for you as well..

Not to rain on your parade, but the next phase is the most challenging part. Watch for deficiencies and don’t go crazy with flowering nutrients…You want enough, not too much.. less can equal more bud.

Side note: went back to double check your pictures and your plant is looking great. I would keep my eyes on the purple stems, this may be a magnesium deficiency starting to show.. They happen often in flower and LEDs can cause them to get out of control fast..

Look at your picture and the lowest leaf in that pic. Do you see the red line in the middle of the leaf? This is something to watch closely, could be many things but seems classic Mag deficiency.

Seems like I get purple stems every time. Anything organic I can use? Trying to avoid buying anything.

Me too, I've had red/purple stems often and when I see them, I know I'm in for a rough ride. Adding Cal/Mag, or adjusting my nutrient feed really helps to stop the deficiency in its tracks...

This can get very complicated, but either Epson Salt or Cal Mag is a good thing to have on hand for a mag deficiency. I'm not sure how organic growers work this out though...Sorry !

Can organic growers use Epson salt for a foliar feed or is that a no no?

If it flowered under 16 hours don't reduce it, your just depriving it of energy. Just a guess when they were messing with genetics there was an auto somewhere in the family tree, or they just sent you the wrong seed.

I didn't go foliar. I just mixed a little up with some water and watered the plant.

me too. ive always thought when mine get looking like that its a phosphorus deficiency. thats a tricky nutrient in proper soil.
I'm also running RO water so the only nutes the plant gets is what I add.

It's irrational on my part but I'm worried about it revegging even though it flowered while getting 16. Logic says otherwise though.
