i have 10 2-3 week old plants under 400w hps

the thing is i also have two females that have just started showing their pistels under there also

my question is will they continue to flower under 16/8?

or should i remove them and put them in 12/12 darkness?

the reason i ask is i do not have anywhere dark yet to put em yet

or should i leave them under 16/8 untill the babies are ready for 12/12?

you dont need a dark period between veg and flower times
when they show sex(start to show their pistils) that just means they are sexually mature. they wont start to flower until you change to 12/12 light schedule or they are an autoflower strain

i would leave them in veg til you are ready for them to flower then switch them over

no seed is alike, its nature

breeders can/will get it to where seeds are very similar. but you cant get them exactly without cloneing.

another thing is breeders will release an f1 to keep their stuff from getting copied so easily

Change your light cycle from 16/8 to 18/6 by the way.
Also, male and female plants of the same strain usually show slight differences in plant structure, the females being the relatively shorter of the two.

really damn, why's that?

i'll do if needed but that would mean lights out at 12pm(suspicious neighbours)

as opposed to 10pm lights out

i couldn't have them come on sooner than 6am

but if 16/8 will cause problems?
