hey guys
i need to know, what happends to a plant if you put it stright to flowring?
cuz i planted some plants a couple of weeks ago, they all growing fine but i grow them outdor (that's my only option) in pots.
my dilema is that now during the fall/winter the days are short
i'd say about 10 - 12 hours of light.
so what will happen to the plant? they will go stright to flowering state
will i get some bud?

You will get bud if you don't have to leave them outside. Otherwise I'm afraid they will die before bearing any flowers. Bring them inside now and give them 18 hours of light and they will grow normally. Then you can flower them by giving them 12 hours of darkness. Use fourescents. Good Luck!

Well, they will die when it gets below freezing. However, according to your flag your in Israel so I don't know does it get cold there? Is there snow? Are you really in Israel?

Anyway if you can keep the plant alive then you will get something, although not much. Obviously, if the plant dies you won't get anything.

They will grow for a while then revert to flowering. You will get some bud from them, just not as much as they will be smaller than plants that are veged for any length of time.

they will die in the cold, and will take forever to grow, you wont get much weed at all, just wait man, be patient..

Your plants will be fine and produce a decent amount of bud still. Going 12/12 from seedling isn't optimal (obviously) as the plant didn't get to spend much time in veg, resulting in a smaller yield.

Your plants will NOT die because of a 12/12 schedule. What WILL kill them is if the temperature gets too low. What is the average low temp?

QUESTION
Im curious about this too. I have mutiple ~2-4 seedlings per pot. They are about 15 days old since they broke ground. They are all growing awesome and are about 6"-9" tall from soil.

I have some mature females in flower right now. I'd like to toss above said 15day seedlings in the 12/12 chamber. Cut males and take the remaining fems to harvest.

I would like to put them in flower as soon as realistically possible. I have more plants behind the seedlings. Can i put them in there when they hit 1 foot tall? They all have at least 5 fingers per fan leaf on the canopy. As long as they produce at least 1/2 an ounce per plant, i'm fine with that. Anyone give me advice?

going straight to flowering is shit, ive done it with one plant before, it takes forever to grow, and when it finally does you dont get fuckall... just wait for spring to grow outside...

Plants that dont get too Preflower can get sexual problems,,hermies
but in saying that if the weather doesnt get too cold you'll be ok.
they'll flower but if the light gets any worse as in shorter days you could end up with some bad weed .Like you said you ve no option. Wait amd see.

In answer to the question a seedling can display sex but that doesnt mean much......

Noone answered my question.

What is the minimum days of veg a plant would handle?
I have heard 36. Can anyone confirm a shorter length of time? And these are under HID lights.
