Help! Plant is flowering already. Advice needed please.

[Frank Castle]

Hi all!!

 

I got a nice little plant from a mate who grows hydro. He gave me one that was cloning under a light 24hrs a day.

I took it and planted it outside in a nice sunny spot on Fathers Day and it's budding like crazy!! It's only about a foot and half tall.

 

I tied it down and it's got nice stems growing up from about 10 different points so I'd like to keep growing it if I can til next Mothers Day.

 

Once it's flowered, will it revert back to just growing again? I'm guessing I confused it by taking it from constant light to day/night.

I'm pretty sure it's an indica if that helps.

 

All advice is gratefully accepted.

 

Cheers!!

Heya mate, Welcome to OS.

The plant is flowering because it went from 24 hours light, down to less light outside. If you want to understand light hours theres a link in my signiture.....below....

You should be finished before Christmas with that one....

Peace. Nibbler.

Thanks, Hash Nibbler.

Just wondering though, can I keep her growing after Xmas so the cycle will line up properly? Or is it a case of once flowered, its all over?

[The Hash Nibbler]

Mate, she will probably start throwing bananas as the light hours get less and less after christmas, thinking its dying.

You could reveg it after if its in a pot, but you'd need to bring it inside under lights, cause will be too cold and moist outside, and light hours too short to keepm it alive and revegging.

 

Hope that helps , Peace. Nibbler.

Everything his Nibs said

& to add some fully matured 100% indica's will flower with a lot less than 12 hrs of darkness

Hi Frank, I have reveged a few times, and just when I think things are right the plant just up and died.  If I were you I would take some cuttings/clones. It is really easy just post a question and you will all the answers you need no the subject.

Hey Frank, just incase your thinkning wtf I am not growing banana's...    Bananas= flowers.I think Hashy is saying your plant will possibly go hermaphradite in an attempt to self pollinate..

 Bullshit Nibbs, the light hours get well and truly long enough to reveg outside. Well, for most of the country anyway... I have already cut two plants that were flowering outside and have already reverted to vegetative growth.

 

 

Frank, personally, if you have the space and privacy for a large plant - leave it where it is. It will revert to vegetative growth before xmas and then return to flower as the light hours shorten again as we approach autumn.

 

Too cold and moist outside in Novemebr/December? Well fuk me, I didn't realise you were in Europe Nibbs... maybe that's why you have it so arse about.

Same thing happened to me last year.

 

I cut most of the bud up when it started thinning out and new shoots were coming off everywhere... then just let it do its thing.. was in the ground and it revegged fine.  Unfortunately died from other causes, so never got to see the second round of buds !
