Yes sir. They got a couple more days of bud then back to 18 6. They are so young it takes them a little longer to bud bud at 14 days or so of flower or first signs of sex i mean first signs....very first hair i see i will be flipping back to veg. They might slow down a little. It im not worried about that as i have height issues already. Just didnt want to plant males into the ground and waste holes



Why? To sex them? Plants show preflowers around the 8th or 9th node of growth, or after about 30 days growth.

Last year i had plants in August show thier first sign sex. Thank god they were female i didnt want big males...

Now your going to have 2-3 weeks of stunted growth. IMHO revegged plants are inferior, especially when flowered as a seedling start im sure, they dont even have a node to show sex on do they?


I dont believe they will stunt much. As soon as first hair shows its back to veg i never let them get close to nugs so there is no reveg state of growth. They stretch when flowered then before they get nug structure back to veg.



Also just fyi seeds don't need supp lighting outside like clones do. You dont even need to start them inside with special lights, just pop a tray of seed outside in a simple greenhouse hoop or cold frame box ect.


i know this. Its just incase they want to go back into flower cuz i flowered them early... Just a precaution

Well...good luck

Thanks

howdy brother sounds like its going well so far , seems you have most methods on lock regarding height management�� look into sniping tap roots back early on? the Bonsai Mother thread references it for there cuttings that will be "Full" size ultimately. also seen it referenced in tree farming in pots for future planting "in ground"

thats how I sex my seedlings, once preflowers show I just put em in the dark for a few days, just until they show, then back to veg light schedule. Can't be too sure, not putting up with any surprise males over here!

as far as keeping them squat.. when you do your final xplant bury part of the stem as opposed to having it flush with the soil line.
ALSO
you can try putting them in more horizontal than vertical, this will encourage mad outward growth
