Early flowering

[Npower]

total newbie here, I have several plants which were planted about four weeks ago. Also three different strains.Keep in mind that when I ordered the seeds they did not say the were auto-flowering, however three of them have the white pistils already. The three are all the same strain. They have been under the lights on a 24-0 schedule. With that being said, I have no idea what to do with them now. They are only about 10 inches tall. How can I keep them in a vegetative state? Are they going to flower regardless? I can’t imagine they will produce very much bud at all.

You can't keep autos in veg. They were meant to flower without a set light schedule. They can produce a good amount of bud. Not much you can do but take care of them.

When I purchased the seeds they did not say the were auto flowering. Giving what I said in my post is auto flowering the only reason these three plants would be reacting in this manner? All of my other plants which are in the exact same environment, are fine and progressing as they should.

If they are starting to flower under 24/0 then they are autos. Sometimes seeds get mixed up. You can email the distributor and tell them about the mix up. But yes I'd have to say they were autos if they are flowering. Any pics?

Sounds to me like you accidently got some autos... What are they and where did you get them from?

They can be tiny when starting to flower. Had one start when maybe 6 inches tall. It vegs and flowers at the same time. That 6 inch plant would have kept most people happy for months with what it made.

But yes HAS to be an auto.
