branches are alternating

[teamgilly]

i read that alternating branches indicate the plant is starting to flower, i am still veging the plants i grew from seed 90 days and they have started asymetrical branching, what does this mean?

 

[L8tNightSkunk]

It means its starting to flower and symmetrical branching is from seedling to veg growth

 

[teamgilly]

i have not change the lighting to 12/12 though

 

[L8tNightSkunk]

is it indoor or outdoor?

 

[teamgilly]

indoor

 

[L8tNightSkunk]

and whats your light schedule?

 

[teamgilly]

18/6

 

[L8tNightSkunk]

Hmm could be that the plant has already reached its peak since you have been growing it for about 3 months and its ready to flower

 

[teamgilly]

i want to use it for a mother

 

[teamgilly]

i just hpe i havent triggerd it to flower somehow, a couple of them are alternating

 

[teamgilly]

i am cloneing for sex as we speak

 

[L8tNightSkunk]

The only thing that i can think of that might be able to help you is keep it back under 24/7 lighting that way hopefully you can trigger veg cycle again because i think the 18/6 schedule after a while the dark hour periods add up and might just be that

How big are your pots? If your growing in soil. A strain called Bonkers will flower if it gets root bound. Never grew it but thats what the breeder says. Stress might have something to do with it as well.

 

[L8tNightSkunk]

haha i like the name and it fits right in it gets root bounded and goes bonkers

 

[teamgilly]

i dont know i am reading elseware that alternating nodes just means maturety

 

[L8tNightSkunk]

Could be it, just go to google and type in asymmetrical branching on plants and google it there should be a search result with the words flowering click on it and its the growers bible lots of info and pics

 

[Ganjarden]

lol good one l8night skunk

I just looked in Marijuana Horticulture grow bible and you were right.

Phyllotaxy- Branching changes from symmetrical to asymmetrical when the plants enter flowering.

I did receive a couple clones a few years ago that had asymmetrical branching when I got them and vegged them. The one I managed to keep alive didn't flower till I put her in 12/12.

 

[Hightide805]

maturety is correct,

some strains do show some small pistils in veg state when they reach maturety, but not all strains

 

[L8tNightSkunk]

Thanks Ganjarden i knew i would find the answer there its the growers bible! lol

 

[TorturedSoul]

LOL you guys must not veg your plants very long to have missed that one.

I guess even the experts are human now and then lol.
