Trichomes all over fan leaves?

[Pnltybox]

I am fairly new at growing and I know mistakes were made here, but I have never had sticky fan leaves. First I took cuttings after a week into 12 hour lights of the mother. Once the clones took off I put them in my greenhouse, forgetting those lights were set to 12 hours for a week before I noticed. So I upped the lights to 16 hours. So at a foot tall they started to bud and grow single leaves. Wonky looking plants. Now the “fan” leaves are loaded with trichomes and very sticky. Any ideas as to which error caused the extra trichomes or the single fan leaves?

Definitely initiated flowering. It'll probably exhibit wonky growth while it re-vegges.
I'd just allow it to veg long enough until somewhat 'normal' growth appears.
Some of the trics forming on fans are a hormonal response to flowering.
Some strains, like my cut of Prima Punch, are just covered.
Nothing to worry about.

I agree with gbauto , definitely seems in well into flower. You should follow that good advice.
They do look really nice, almost like a happy accident - which happens.
Would it be possible to go straight to flower at this point if you wanted to? Perhaps not built up enough.
I'm interested in what strain these are? So many trichs.
Also, because I have taken cuttings from plants in flower ,
Following this with interest for learning Happy growing!

It happened to me with outdoor reveg plants this past summer. Awful time with smoke an ash from fires which pretty much ruined the flavor, sticky could not remove.:sad-frown:

Thanks for the answers. They are now 14” tall at most and some of the biggest buds, or maybe they’re just on such a small plant. When “normal” this was a tall Sativa. It was just a seed given to use.we kept taking cuttings for several generations, but when I took these and all these mistakes were made they grew buds early to where I figured maybe it was time to let her go. She is now close to the end. Here is a pic.

Hadn’t thought about all that sticking. I guess it would

I had a couple of outdoor gals last year that were like that. Frost everywhere, all over the stems and leaves, but it was a real hassle to trim. Never stacked big buds or colas, just little clusters along the main stems. Folks said it was reveg, but this is how they looked from the first signs of showing sex. Mystery strain for sure. I pollinated them with my best purple indica male so we shall see what happens this spring when I start the seeds soon.

I'd try to flush out some of that extra nitrogen. I'm guessing you stopped feeding it already?

Single fan leaves are usually a sign of reveg, but can sometimes just be a strange genetic, or single tip bud leaves that grew extra big for some reason. I love extra crystally fan leaves, makes for good trim.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

That is what mine looked like. Hated trimming

 

[Pnltybox]

I have started flushing.

Make hash from the trimmings

Yeah I just trimmed off the biggest leaves and left the rest. I figured why trim off heavily frosted smaller leaves. Was tasty and stony nonetheless!
