Accidental flowering - Go with it, or try to re-veg?

[resist]

Hi all! Got a question for the more experienced growers.

 

Couple of weeks ago I re-built my grow-space, which took 48 hours. I have 2 plants which are roughly a month old, so only about halfway though my desired veg time. During the 48 hour rebuild period, I made sure the plants didn't get more than 12 hours of darkness, as I was planning a few more weeks of veg time. But apparently I failed, as both plants have now shown sex (1 male, 1 female). Obviously the male is getting cut today.

 

My question is about the female. At this stage, it has the 2 white hairs showing in multiple areas. So its very early in flowering. Should I try and re-veg the plant, or am I better off letting it flower? Right now my lighting is still at 14/10. I read that re-vegging a plant can cause hermies etc. Does anyone have experience trying this?

IME you should be fine to reveg as well as the two hairs may just be pre-sex which can occur 6 weeks after veg. I wouldn’t worry about reveg and it going hermie I have had this happen a few times after power cuts and what not. I would just put my light on 18/6 and away you go

Let it reveg

Thanks everyone! Have just been reading about pre-flowers / pre-sexing and it seems you are both right. The 2 white pistils I'm seeing must be pre-flowers, which means I can keep her in veg for the moment.

I've been incorrectly told that plants will only show sex after 12/12 lighting starts. Seems to be a very common misconception! According to what I'm reading, the plants can show sex as early as 2-3 weeks into veg, if you know what to look for.

 

Thanks for the golden advice!
