Hi all, Help please!! This is my first garden, I started out under regular flourecent gro lights, and realizing I needed more, put under MH 11 days ago. I would have to say they are gorgeous!! The lighting cycle has always been 18/6, and I check them every day, but I had a medical emergency last week and a friend looked after them. Everything remained the same, lighting etc...but when I got back this morning there were DEFINATE "testicles" on one of them, I hope I got rid of it early enough, but WHY would they mature without 12/12?
Why are my plants maturing with 18/6
- Thread starter hotwings
- Start date

It's a Ruderalis

In simple laymen’s talk autoflowering strains do not need a change/shortening to 12 or more of light per night to flower like regular strains. You can leave them on a 24/0 or 18/6 and they will still begin to flower at a certain point in their growth because they are genetically coded to flower after a certain amount of time passes. As it was mentioned that is a trait of Cannabis Ruderalis which has been crossed with Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Indica and crosses of Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Indica to make strains that will automatically flower.

bagseed gives you more hermies? did a quick search and couldn't come up with any literature. thought it was more of how the plant grew to that point when something told it...HOLY SHIT WE GOTTA CHANGE IT UP! and forced itself into self-conception. wouldn't the seeds either be male or female. and the females that get stressed turn into hermies?

"bagseed" isnt bad... hermies are bad.
still sounds like the plant wasnt showing balls and now it is, yeah?
hermie from bagseed is a common thing
again, bagseed isnt all bad.. chemdog d is a bagseed find if you didnt know.
kill the hermie. unless smoking seedy pot is your thing then grow away

It wasn't a hermie! It was a male! Some strains show pre flowers 4 weeks in to veg, others show sex the first 2 weeks of flower. If it had "testicles" in veg, then it was a male! A female plant can become hermaphrodite under stress, & therefore produces male sacks to pollinate itself & produce seeds so the cycle can continue.
