Alternating nodes, is where they dont both come out of the main stem at the same time.

Sounds like preflowers on your plant ior your mistaking new growth.

If the nodes are alternanting then put it into 12/12
LIP Reviewed by LIP on . has my plant started budding? on the bud i can see 4 little green calyxs, does this mean that the plant is getting ready to flower?, or does this happen when the plant is mature?, i havnt put my lights on 12/12 yet so it shouldnt be budding. Anyone know? Rating: 5
