Two of the plants in my VEGGING room are flowering..

[ChenBenTz]

So, I was flushing the plants in my veg room, getting them ready for flowering, when I noticed that two of them have started flowering already..

Seriously WTF.

The rest of the plants are just growing as normal.

Lights are on 24/0.

Anyone have any idea what could cause this and if it could hurt my yield?

They must have autoflower genetics...some strains just do it...other times stress/root bound plants sometimes do too. You can give them some darkness. As for yield, not sure, dont think so because it looks like you cant reveg the plant. It looks like its just going for it. Maybe treat them as flowers now. I personally dont know of any crazy tech ways to reverse flowering.

Some strains will do this if you veg with 18 hours of light. Some need 22-24 hours to keep from flowering. Either that or root bound for sure, unless it's autoflowering genetics. I wouldn't flower it out unless you want a tiny yield. The buds will be much smaller and more fluffy, and it won't stretch normally. You can use a bigger pot and give it 24 hours of light if it's genetics you are trying to save, but it'll take 3 weeks or so before it turns around, assuming it's not 100% autoflowering genes. Good luck

Also check your pH and up the food a tad.

Is the light working properly?

Are the flowering plants potbound?

 

[stoned-trout]

I have had it happen when plants were rootbound...yeehaw..even with 24 lighting

 

[ChenBenTz]

Yeah, they're rootbound. They've been in their flowering pots for two months now.

So, if I flower them now will it hurt my yield or not? I'm unclear.

Btw, these are White Widow x Bid Bud from seed, definitely not autoflowering.

If you were about to put these plants into flower anyway, I don't see how it could hurt your yield. The fact that all your plants appear to be very healthy and only these 2 plants are showing pistils, tell me it's genetics. I've grown Blubonic in the past and they will almost always flower after 6 weeks, even 24/0.

The weird part is that they're all the same strain. White Widow x Big Bud.

And I've already cloned from each of them, so there's no way to tell which clones come from which plants.

If it is because of rootlock, hopefully these new fabric pots I've got will help.
