Hello all, I have come across a unique problem that I have not seen before. Am 6 1/2 almost 7 weeks into veg and one of my girls are showing signs of early flower. I’ve seen pistols early before, but this is a whole Nother story. This run in particular plant is Runtz. This is the first time running this strain however, none of her sisters are exhibiting the same features. If you will I understand there are various different phenotypes, but this is unique. Temperatures have stayed pretty consistent around 76 to 80° with roughly 55 to 60% humidity. I am running organic nutrients in a three to one ratio of roots organic/ pro mix HP as well as roughly 20 to 25% worm castings and right now using a 4– 4–4 Dr. Earth nutrient and Declo needed water at 6.4 to 6.5 pH. Lighting is spider farmer 4000 and is only being run 80% at this time primarily because of the heat waves that have been coming through. I’ll likely bump it back up but the par in my 4 x 4 is right on point where they need to be. White cycle is currently an 18/6. I have read some threads with similar issues where people are saying this is just demonstrating that she is ready to flower. And upon further and close inspection, I have not seen any mail parts or anything that could be questionable. Pistils are everywhere but nothing is swelling. I guess my question is can anybody explain this phenomenon and more importantly should I pluck her from the garden in fear of her becoming a hermaphrodite or should I let it run its course? I don’t wanna ruin the whole garden so I’m leaning towards plucking her, but I also don’t want to remove her as maybe she’s just a really aggressive phenotype and could potentially produce something wonderful. I will try to attach some photos. Thanks in advance.
