Help Please. I have clones that have started to flower.

I have clones that were transplanted today into 4" pots. Noticed that they started to go into flower.

They did experience about a ~24-hour period when they received only some indirect ambient light and some dark time at night. Then they were kept under 24-hour compact fluorescent light for the last 6-days. I'm assuming they've been under 18-6 or 24 hour light before then(they were given to me). They were fed mild H&G seedling/cutting nutrients while I've had them.

Could the darkness really have triggered a flowering?

What can I do now? How do I reveg and how long will it take before they're 'back to normal'.

Thanks for any help :)

They may just be pre-flowering. I'd keep the photoperiod long & my fingers crossed...

Long time ago I got a clone only Kush that would throw pistils at the stem intersections and at each node. Even had trichs in veg, Fck I wish I could get that girl back!

It is highly unlikely waht you did caused. where they came from is more suspect if indeed they're flowering.

should be fine,even if they decided to flower for that 1 little moment, they will reveg back to normal, just keep 18-6 or 24-0 on them.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. One quick question; assuming they go back to normal just fine, will this slow down their veging significantly for a little while?

In my experience 'reveggitated' growth looks funnier than normal vegitation(twisted leaves and single leaves instead of multi fingered) but provides a similar amount of biomass and # of nodes.

I have had this problem with certain clones.. Some fluorescent light color at low lumens seem to cause flowering.. For example I had a mum that when I changed my floro tubes made one girl flower to fix I put 2 6500 k tubes instead of a the red color light.. Also I had one girl that needed more light than what was good for everyone else in the mum cab. 2runs cloned both runs both would flower as they rooted and would continue to flower until she would get bright light then would reveg back and be kick ass,but the loss in time between her reveg wasn't worth her so I tossed it.
If you want to clone this girl again after she starts veging good,keep her under strong floros
