Flower too early!!!

[Willyd]

Hey every one been a while hope everyone is good here’s my situation. My 4 week old AK-47 autos started flowering on me. I started LST today and well shit there probably a week in I figure. Now I’m wondering I added a couple cheap t8 lights (Amazon and alcohol lol) that didn’t turn off with my big lights about a week ago could this have shocked them in some way? I figured well there autos so it’ll be like moon light for 6 hours. Any thoughts?

I don't think there's any shock but I'm often wrong. EDIT: my understanding is some growers go with 24 hours of light a day for autos, I don't think your situation is different.

 

[PeterMatanzas]

on a side note, there are some people who contend "moonlight is not akin to a light leak" - but a photon is a photon so IDK and there's no science on it that I can find.

I think you should be fine. Some folks here give them a little rest but alot do 24 hrs. From what I've read.

 

[Farmbuck]

Don't worry they are not photoperiodic flowering type. They don't give a shit about day length period.

Perfectly normal. I doubt the T8 lights had anything to do with them going into flower. I'm more inclined to think that genetics played a bigger roll.

You don’t control Autos, they flower when they want to

Absolutely on time! Many autos start flower at 21 days old, no time for mistakes.

Thanks everyone I appreciate the input. I’ll keep you guys posted as to there progress. Thanks again gwe family.

Autos do what autos want. They should get minimum 18/6 light.

Looking good there Willyd welcome back no worries them autos will be fine just give them lots of light and don't over do the food. You got this, they are really pretty carefree plants if they dont get messed with much.
