Did my mom Hermi / AutoFlower?

Rough times, my wisdom teeth are driving me crazy... I have to admit I was being a bad parent to my girls.

Mommy here was prepped for cuttings way too far in advance.
I will usually feed once budding mix 2-3 days before cloning, This time I fed her this mix at least twice.

Funny thing about teeth, their right up close to your head so you loose your mind and the brain thing... not working... durrr

So here are some pictures of what they look like. Are they going Hermi or are they Auto flowering? And in both cases what would I do, can I still clone?








This was a part that was surprisingly good looking

i can't see any male flowers-but they do look as if they are trying to flower

if there are no male flowers forming you can take cuts-
what light hours are they under?
perhaps giving them 24h light (if you are not doing so already) may stop them flowering any further-or maybe increasing N. That can inhibit flowering too

bad luck with the teeth

There really are no male parts, and Ive seen them so I know what they look like. They just look so weird I have to ask.

They are on 24hours CFL lighting, but were fed the bloom stuff for a while. 7-10 days of budding food on a mom could make this happen huh?

Ah I feel pretty stupid asking such useless questios, hopefully this never happens to me again and I didnt loose my last strain :(

If that is an auto-flowering strain it is going to flower regardless of what you do.

For non-auto-flowering plants is the light cycle, not the nutrients, that make the plant flower.

As far as your plants go - in the third photo it is obvious that the stem/branch has been topped, so now you are growing multiple tops (which is the reason you top in the first place).

Bottom line, take your clones then feed your mom some grow nutes - she's showing a bit of an N def.

haha ok maybe I am not explaining myself correctly.

The basics... Trust me I get it.

The mom... looks weird. Do you agree? The growing shoots changed and bunched together. There are hairs growing in odd places and its generally not as healthy as it was a month ago before my toothasis issues.

Of course this isn't an Auto flowering strain, why would I be asking if something is wrong with it.

On the norm my mom is in tip top shape, I have never stressed a plant into a hermi state. Which is why I'm asking the community for their opinion.

She gets 24/hour CFL Lighting, GH 3 parts nutrients, sometimes calmag, super thrive, and cannazym. She also gets flushed on a regular with PHed RO water, and once every 2 months with a salt leaching solution.

Days started to mesh into themselves for me this past month, I messed up and I just want to know how bad.

I fed her budding mix to up the goodies for cloning, only supposed to do that once. I know I did this at least twice... trying to give that info in case this is why she is looking all freaky.

So ill try this again... i. Do you think she'll be ok or have I caused some permanent damage.

This is all.

P.S.- Yes it was topped, its a mom. I cloned it. The picture is more along the lines of another shot at the shoots growing under the top.

I apologize for being bitchy, but my face hurts and I get frustrated when people dont really read what they are replying too.

...Better yet, that the person asking the questions remembers what they asked.

normally yes-but it not that uncommon for mothers that have been around for a while to start to flower even under 18-24h light and that maybe what is begging to happen-
i don't think it is possible to say what they are going to do-but i guess all you can do is give them N -take your cuts and hope for the best

She"ll come back into veg. Looks like a couple of things going on. Probably root bound. Stressing under the 24 hour days. They need some night time to process foods and other functions. Both of these stress the plant into flowering. Along with adding bloom foods she's stressed even more. Repot the mom after you trim the root ball(cut about an inch off of each side of the current root ball and the bottom). Put into new soil. Water the transplant with 1/4 teaspoon Super Thrive and 8-10ml Hygrozyme or equivilent added to a gallon of water, ph'ed at 6.3-6.5. This will help avoild transplant shock. Keep the lights at 18/6. She needs some time to "sleep" and do her natural night time thing!
