I don't know if this is a problem or not, what do you think? This is one of my plants, bcbd the purps, it is about 6 weeks old, has never seen a dark period. It looks like it is in flower. It was stressed a lot when it was small. First time growing this strain.

This is not an auto is it?

No it is not

I think she has auto in her

Yeah, I thought maybe it was stress, It got over watered, over fed and I had to take off about 3/4 of the root mass off due to root rot. I have never done that to a plant before so that is why I am asking.

Has to be less stress then bonsai, which has many roots pruning's...Has to have the auto gene in there somewhere.

It is strange, I was having a puff and I thought ,you are not supposed to clone auto's. I have some cuttings I am trying to clone so I had a look. I don't have macro so I hope you can see the 2 roots. 8 days in daisy cloner I dragged out of storage. Click on the picture

If it walks like a duck
Acts like a duck
It is a duck

What the quack did you say? I will keep an eye on it and see what happens.

See if the clones grow buds right away

That is what I will do. An auto should be done arond 2 months right? I have 2 plants both look the same and had the same mistreatment.I have a 3 week old that is showing to but it is getting treated well. I hope the clones survive because the seeds (female) were expensive.

only after an extended dark period do photoperiod plants produce the correct balance of florigen and antiflorigen. when the plant's balance shift's during the light period, it means somewhere in their genetic lineage is some form of cannabis ruderalis. only stress caused by light interruptions would be a possible culprit. seeing as how flowering is dependent on the balance of light and dark.

a very good read


Lights, darkness and flowering. What's the story?

i just had the same thing happen to me. I have a auto in my batch

Yes I am thinking there is an auto gene there. Oh well,as long as it is good right?

Not necessarily an 'auto' plant but yeah most plants will do this for a number of reasons...when rootbound, nute lockout...over watering... and every plant has different sensitivities..

yeah i'm with the duck on this one...

an auto is just cannabis that has evolved to flower with age not photoperiod which is what clearly is happening.

I have seen this many times with stressed rootbound low feeding and lighting mother plants. it's nothing to worry about as long as you don't let it go too far. I would trim it clean the budsites and transplant with a good feeding schedule they keep vegging with no problems

Never had Mother plants do this either..Even the ones that were neglected.

i've had this happen and i wrote it off to stress but i have no way of knowing if ruderalis was hidin in the genetics somewhere. it seemed it was always a stressed plant that did this, whilst others of same strain didn't. still could be either 1, stress or auto far as i see it. maybe both...
