My beasties are giving me a problem...help pls

I am new to growing, but have researched pretty well. I've got white widows that are doing great.. however I have 1 plant that is about 35 days old.. not sure if its a purple kush or sour deisel.. the problem is this kush/sour plant.

Im indoor growing in soil with 24 hour lights (using flourescents) and the plants are kicking ass but this kush/sour seems to be flowering. Ive not changed the lights at all.. 24/7 lights.

Could any of you pro's have a look at this and tell me if its flowering? I am gonna switch to 1k watt HPS for flowering so I need to know.

Thanks,

Michelle

looks like little pre-flowers to me

Yep, it,s flowering. Very odd. If it was mine I would take a couple of clones before you change your light schedule.

Is that stuff to look for when cloning / wanting seeds from a plant?

Like a plant that grows huge buds or something you'd keep the seeds since that's a good characteristics or clone it

Exactly. And a plant that flowers under 24/7 light is at least an oddity. It could be grown in the northern areas. Who knows? If you lose that strain you may be pissing away something special.

In Hawaii we breed our oun strains. As a rule we are cheap f$#ks with some of the best outdoor, year round growing conditions in the U.S. Every once in a while someone will pay money, or friends will bring us new blood. If we are impressed we breed it into another impressive local strain. Always keep experimenting. Keep the best, get rid of the rest.

There is nothing like saying "I made this" as your stoned out friends ask "Where did you get this from?" then start bumming seeds off of you. Also you get to smoke all different tastes and highs. Then you get pick what you want to keep.

Any time I see Maui whatever advertised in the dispensaries on this board, who knows where that seed and strain started. If once grown here, that strain could have come from or through my hands. Who knows?

So this early flowering is a good thing and I should clone it? Ive never cloned but Ive read alot. You think I should just chop the top off of it for clones and then leave it in veg until my widow is ready to flower?
By the way, thanks for everyone replying and helping. I really appreciate it.

Don't just whack the top off. Use bottom branches. Then let the plant flower. When it is ready to smoke, that is when you will know if you have something. If it is real tasty and goes off under 24/7 light it would be a great strain for people that want to grow outdoors up in Northern areas with a real short growing season.

Or maybe the early flowering trait could be breed into another tastier strain. Best of both worlds.

Also to be honest, it could be junk. In that case all you have lost is two junk clones. At this point you have nothing else to lose (except a few bottom branches that won't yield much anyway).

Oh to live in Hawaii. When I die I want to be reincarnated somewhere in the Hawaiian Islands...

Oldhaole since you clearly have the goods on cloning can you answer a questions for me (not to hijack anyone thread here but it seems we are all interested). I've read different things about when to clone. From what your write it seems cloning after a plant starts to flower is not advisable. But I'm recall reading that a plant can be cloned up to 35 days into flower (strain dependent). That would be just about right time wise - you finish your grow 40 days later and by that time your clones are ready to go into the flower room. Can you clarify for me? Thanks!

yes you can bigsby,but they may take longer to root!
