I shouldn't even debate this but i'm bored before football starts. I actually just placed three plants with pre-flowers in flower not too long ago. The preflowers showed in 18/6 veg time. I have never grown an autoflower but according to you, that's pretty much all I've ever grown. That's good to know haha. Before you throw out words like never and impossible, I suggest you do a little reading or actually grow a plant or two.

I suggest you reread Shovel's post again real slow(especially the first line). Pre-flower= before or prior to flowering. That means during veg. You also talk about long vegged plants being stressed. Have you ever kept a mother plant? I've heard of people keeping mothers for years. Man those must be some stressed out plants haha. Where do you come up with this stuff? I seriously hope you didn't read it here and just made it up to argue. When you finish your first grow let us know how it turns out.
