I started my first grow in the spring outside, due to my lack of knowledge, they grew very slowly, after a transplant into some bigger pots with compost+peat+perlite mix with heavy 16 nutrients, my plants finally started exploding in leaf development. Unfortunately, they started budding, they're all 4-10in high. Stupidity took over.. I put them in a grow box I built with 24 hour lighting (have a light timer coming in the mail to do 18/6) hoping to revert to veg. However, I've never done such a thing. The buds have doubled in size under the 24 hour lighting, it's making me sad. I have options but I'd like some input on what's best, or if there are others I'd gladly like to know. I was thinking of cutting the stalk right below where the colas have started to develop, with this I'm wondering if sealing the stalk with root gel would help heal it, I've also heard of 'pinching' the stalk rather than cutting, would these cuts be good to make ISO concentrate, along with the undeveloped buds? Or am I better off letting the colas wither away? They do that when when they reveg right? Second idea was to bring back outside or turn on 12/12 lighting manually until my timer comes, but I fear I've already caused to much stress.
I've read quite a few threads on the topic, but haven't found an answer that's specific to my situation, my apologies if I missed a thread that already answers this.
