Bud from a baby?

[LIP]

i am sorry lip but i have to disagree, a plant will flower at any stage of it life at the same time ( or there abouts give or take a day ) most dutch seedscan be flowered 3 weeks from germination. i have recently added a 3 week old white widow to my flowering chamber and it showed 4 days before my clones who have been taken from a plant that is nearly 2 monthes now.

No, it wont. Simple as. The plant will no flower if you put it in 12/12 and its still a seedling. The plant has to be past the seedling stage before it'll show preflowers because it has to be mature enough to flower.

I know very well that 3 week old plants can, yes, and i said that the whole way though, but a real baby, say, 1 week old will not flower untill its big and mature enough.

Im not saying your wrong, i've flowered many 3 week old plants, but a plant younger than 3 weeks isnt mature enough to flower.

again lip i will disagree with u there . if u but a 1 week old seedling into 12/12 it will start to flower , as a matter of fact this can be don't to determine sex if u like and then can be chage back onto 18/6 or whatever . doing this cuz's lstress though and can cause ur plant to go he /she on ya

I dont belive that. I have never been able to flower a plant before around 3 weeks.

A 1 week old plant wont flower, it'll carry on vegging and then flower when its phyically ready. I'd need proof to belive what your saying.

Dude.
How many plants have you grown?
You grew Lowryder once.
Do you really think you are in a place to tell people they are wrong.
Espesially when they are right.

i disagree too. i've dropped seeds late in the season that popped into seedlings and began flowering at the end of august, same as the mature plants and the females made little gumball buds...loose and pretty much worthless but fully flowered just the same. and the male seedlings had pollen sacs fully formed too...they didn't last long enough for me to see pollen tho.

i threw a seed into field once and before it was 3 in tall, it had 4 spoke leaves and was forming little buds at the nodes with white hairs. little under 2 weeks i think.
Then the weedwacker killed her.... damn lawn guys...

Different strokes for different strains, but you can put a clone into flower as soon as it is ready for the real world. I have not done this but many have. If it doesn't want to begin the flowering cycle, it will anyway, it just may take a few extra days. You can harvest more often, and cut down on a lot of things you would otherwise need (like a MH light) using this method. Of course each harvest will not yield as much as if you let them veg a few weeks.

Thats because it needs to transfer from the juvenile vegetative state to the adult vegetative state before it reaches maturation for flowering. i have flowered plants at 2-3 weeks old and I would have to assume that the transfer from one state to another could possibly be strain dependent. It is for a fact somewhat species dependent although I don't know if anyone has ever done conclusive studies. From my experience I have flowered plants 2-3 weeks old many times over the years.
