Sorry MEDEDCANNABIS,

This is just NOT TRUE.

You are transferring human traits to your plants. People sleep but plants are 24 hour factories.
In fact a good case can be made that plant's work harder during the dark phase then during the photoperiod. I hope this misconception is not from 30 years of learning.

Hey there MartyWales,

Since nobody mentioned this, I guess I will.
Good chance what you are seeing is "pre-flowers", once a female plant becomes sexually mature, it can show this, even during vegative growth.
Keep on vegging till your're ready to make the switch.
Good growing to ya.

oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on . 2ft Plants Starting to Bud too Early, I Took in a few babies for a friend who didn't have the room for them, when they came they seemed very stressed and were about 6-8inches tall. After re-potting into a good soil and large pots i placed them under a 600w light to veg them up and run the light for 18 hrs on. The plants are now 3 weeks old and have stopped vegging and started budding! Don't get me wrong they are nice looking plants, very healthy now just very small with LOADS of buds appearing! Anyone know how to stop the Rating: 5
