stress induced bloom, should I change the light cycle?

holditnowHIT.IT · Feb 13, 2025

I think it's been two weeks when I first noticed, but hoped it was jut stunted.. and and now It doesn't seem like it will go back to veg.
why not keep it in the veg cab. it was supposed to be a mother and the couple clones look like they will pull through.
If I get lucky here and get some pollen sacs on this same plant. and It only fertilizes itself, I should have feminized seeds? is that right?
thinking back I did a number on the gal. not enough fresh air, lowered the light and powered it up, topped before and cloned after the first two I mentioned. plus nute deficient
I live and learn and maybe get comfortable with tossing pics up
would you keep it 18/6 with one other gal, or go to 12/12 all by it's self. empty bloom room

No you’ll get hermi seeds with a high female rate however they will still carry the hermi trait.
In my personal experience bird seed.
Ok you get a high female rate but some will hermi & just one can mess up a room.

Without photos hard to tell you but re veg will takes ages & as your flower tent is empty why not use it

#1 She started about a week before the new year from seed.
Looks like the last feeding is working for the new growth.
2 gallon pot
Blueberry AK

The other gal #2 below is two weeks later start
The roots looked like it was the early one at transplant a few days back
But it looks like its going the way #1 was, when signs off bloom first showed
#2 has grown 1.5 inches in the last three days. It was stunted a little bit from the stresses
#1 was topped and then two were clones taken a week later, while #2 has only been topped.
Think it will end up like the top pic in a couple weeks?
temp and rh is 72/68.5%

so I wasn't thinking it was possible this far in, but then again I thought maybe I could get away with it finishing it's bloom under 18/6 when I started the thread.
or at least that was maybe a possible option.

Gmix · Feb 15, 2025

I thought you was asking if you should re veg.

Going by size you might be overwatering unless you stunted both.

Yes, The other will produce more flowers soon.

Good luck

Re-vegging can be done at anytime, upto and including harvest time. Just leave a few nugs from the lowest part of the plant. Set lights to be on for 24/7. They don't require much light and not much feeding. It will take upto 30 days to reveg from harvest. It will grow numerous stems from the bud sites and will grow one bladed leaves. When it starts to grow normal, for that strain, leaves it has revenged. At this point I normally take a few cuttings from her and chuck her. Roots will most likely be root bound and will have stems everywhere. We old growers call this MonsterCropping.

You don't get a high female count. Every plant will be female. The rest is spot on....crush them hermie seeds.

Gmix · Feb 15, 2025

Yeah on regs I was thinking you get a high female count

On fems that hermie yes your right

holditnowHIT.IT · Feb 15, 2025

my mind is not working at full capacity if you know what I mean, but I'm lost.
was I originally correct that a female that hermis and pollinates itself will give female seeds only?
also the cab in the pic is my veg cab, is the first pic to far into stress induced flower to go back to veg, like I want it to.
both plants will be mothers If I can help it.
I just finished readying my bloom room but now I might bring the gal back to the veg cab if it will get back to vegging

thanks for the monster cropping tip. I hadn't heard of it
thanks folks

Yes, all seeds will be female. But most would consider them to be garbage as they will beget MORE hermied plants, unless you like to smoke seeds in guess. All this being said...I have never in my 40 plus years of growing have i seen a photo period plant flower due to stress or any other reason other than diminishing light and increasing dark periods.

Your over watering get a ph wand and keep level between 5,8 to 6,3 also get some reflective foil and put on the walls remember to control heat too.

the fist pic I posted seems clearly in bloom in my eyes
it's been under 18/6 the whole time
I ended up putting it back in the original veg cab with the same 18/6 to see if it will stop pushing buds

thanks for the clarification, I would love mess around with breeding in the future with some of these small tents available these days

Why i said photo period, I would bet it's a auto

I don't know shit from shinola about non photo plants. I don't even know what light cycle they use.
two weeks back when I first noticed, I double checked my seed catalog to make sure I didn't order the wrong one, I didn't
If they sent wrong stuff and I do have autoflower, again I don't know shit about these. but I read recently that they don't take to transplant well. and I have up potted theses three times now. and it was only after the back to back days of covering ventilation and then lowering and powering up the light, that the problems started showing. like darkening and bad clawing,
the transplants didn't seem to bother them at all really.
I know a lot of folks use auto flower so I took a couple closer slots of the #2 plant that is just recently showing signs of bloom
do you think this was a autoflower and will bud like the one first pic
I gotta put the pics on a different post

I don't mess with autos but as I understand them they don't like to be messed with at all

holditnowHIT.IT · Feb 15, 2025

Next two pics are the same plant

Below is a Better pic of the budding plant

Maybe not better heh.

Oldchucky · Feb 15, 2025

I would assume it is photo and throw it into the 1212 to finish up and take my losses! And pop a few more beans!

What are you talking about no where have they posted their medium & that’s coir ph levels.
Soil should be between 6.3-6.9

They may not even have to ph at all

You gotta include your water and if your not growing weed but skunk then you have to include chemicals you use plus over time when the soil is in air two months it debuffers

Disclaimer: when using chemical don’t do if you don’t know what your doing

I did end up pickin up a decent 4 in 1 probe and some potassium chlolride so I can keep the tip right.

a question about the potassium chloride, can I add a little to some water for a folliar spray when it looks deficient in (K)

I'm in FF ocean forest and using their nutes

I'm still back and forth in my head to put the #1 plant back in the flower room. I'm still not sure how this will lose it's small buds and start revegging
I think I'm just going to start it in to 12/12 today and use the #2 for the main mother if she continues to veg right

stress induced bloom, should I change the light cycle?
