Thanks for the clone info. I'm gearing up.
BB is most probably right. If you have an autoflower seed, or even the mother of that particalar seed got nailed by an autoflower male your plant could be autoflower. And the early flower then would be a natural thing. Sorry for the buzzkill. We have no use for autoflowers here. So I overlooked the obvious answer. My mistake. If it is an autoflower, cloning would get you a very small bud. Waste of time.Quote:

The pic below are the bottoms of a fully flowered plants that I now am re-growing out from almost mature bottom bud. It has taken two weeks of 24 hr light to get it out of flower. Will take at least two more weeks (maybe three) to get it to the point where it becomes a mother to this some of this years clones.
Im fairly certain that its not an autoflower strain. I bought 2 purp kush clones and 1 sour diesel clone from a dispensary.. same place I bought my white widows. However my lovely new neighbors busted into my greenhouse before I moved the clones indoors and they stole all the baby clones except 1 widow and this one. So its either purp kush or sour diesel.. unless the dispensary lied. Im gonna post a full pic of the little flower girl now.. I think shes already bigger than the autoflower type.
Can you guys tell by looking if its purp? She has little reddish hairs popping out.
The first pic is the early flower girl... the second is the early flower girl on the left with white widow on the right
First here is a link to wikipedia about autoflowering plants
Marijuana Wikipedia : What Are Auto Flowering Marijuana Seeds
So it seems not to be an autoflower strain. At least according to the link. So that means it is either a Sour D. or Purple Kush. The purple I know is a lot more purple. Leaf veins are purple too, not just stems. I have seen Sour D with purple/red leaf stems. So I vote that your strangely early flowering plant is .....who am I kidding?...I have no idea.;)
Now its the time for the talk.
You have two fine plants. You are doing good. And I see a lot of bottom branches. It is time for you to take the next step. You could easily take ten clones (or the legal limit for your state) from those bottom branches. Read up on how to do it, be patient, and you will be rewarded. Unless you like spending money on clones that is. :D
Once you clone your first plants it is a game changer.
You have the ability to keep a special strain forever. It is the first step to the indoor growers final goal. A constant, inexpensive, high quality smoke that never runs out.
For starters I wanna tell you that you own :) Thanks so much for all the help, advice, time. One day when I get an award for cultivation the absolute best freaking herb ever in history.. Ill send ya some ;) hahaQuote:

Someone told me tonight that my lights are placed wrong and that Im messing up. But everyone says outdoor plants are nice because they are full all the way thru due to the sun getting all over the plants... so thats how Ive placed my lights in my grow room and the beastie girls are damn sure full. So hopefully that person was just mistaken.
Ok oldhaole.. Im going in for the kill tonight. Im gonna cut 5 good sized clones (not just leaves like Ive been doing lol) ... and hopefully Ill have 5 newborns in a week or so from it. ;)
First clone I did took almost three weeks to root. My room was too cold. Of the five I started three made it. Keep a spray bottle of water handy. Mist them often.
Good Luck. Remember you are creating not killing.
