Couple simple questions

[deltron]

My friend has a legal grow going and doesnt have access to the internet, so he asked me to post a couple questions for him. hope you guys can help

first question... his plants were in the veg stage for a month +, and they started showing pistils even though theyre on a 24/0 cycle. is it mandatory to move the plants to flowering at this point?

second question... could anyone possibly link to a faq for training/clipping plants to keep them small or whatnot, that i could printout and give to my friend?

Thanks alot guys!

for the first quastion.
the plant maybe showing "pre-flowers", that means it's ready to go to 12/12
or maybe it's an auto-flowering plant.

question # 1
pre flowers mean the plant is mature enough to bud it dosent mean you have to flower the plant now you can wait just keep the plants in the vegitive cycle (24/0)

question # 2
do some searches on LST (low stress training) or topping,pruning also you might want to look up some info on the "fimming" tech of topping it might help increase your yeild

good luck-Bomb

also i knew a guy once who kept his plants in 24/0 long after sex was determined in order to maximize yield by maintaining an even canopy. this was done with meticulous lst using ties and hooks.
