Power Went Out On Veggin Moms! HELP!

I was starting some mothers for an indoor crop... They are Serious Seeds Chronic, like 100 bucks for 11 of them.... So ive been veggin them under flouroucent lights 24/0 for a little over a month now... They are in soil...

I had to move the 11 of them into my garage a week ago due to visitors to my house... they were out there for 3 days and then the power went out at my house a few days after that so i left them in the garage... the reason i put them into the garage was because it has a few windows that let a little light in and i thought this would help keep them in veg... There were about 13 hours and 15 mins between sunrise and sunset...

The power came back on today and i went to take the future moms back inside to their room to go back under the flouros for 24/0 and i noticed they started to flower!!! I can see some are male and some female! i totally thought they would stay in veg but i guess the garage wasnt bright enough or stayed light long enough and they started flowering...

my question is, if i put them back to 24/0, will they go back to veg? will they produce clones that are hermies due to stress? Ive heard of people revegging plants after a harvest and ive heard of people taking clones from flowering plants but i have no idea what will happen... id hate to start over and pay another 100 bucks for seeds... PLEASE HELP! thanks in advance

sounds like a good thing if anything. get rid of the males now, so you know you only have females.

so you dont think there will be any complications down the road if i let them grow to be moms? is there a chance that a female now will give cuttings that will hermie? Basically, i just want to know if going back to veg will stress them and turn their "offspring" hermie

I dont know the science behind it, but i would have worries... u bought regular seeds? what were you doing vegging all of them before knowing the sex anyways....
back to the point, I would be worried about hermies if you re-veg them. Just my opinion w no fact behind it. I say just take clones off what look like females and chop the males down and see what happens...

Cull the males and keep the females. You would have wanted to either start them on a flower cycle to sex them, or flower clones of each to know which were females. Stress can cause hermies, but I don't think a stress induced hermie will give you all hermies down the road from cloning. The plant was a genetic female (although may have the hermie trait in it's genetics), so all clones from it will have the same genetic make up.

Yes, the seeds weren't femenized, just regular seeds... I was vegging them because I wanted to grow them big enough to take a clone, flower it, decide sex, and go on from there to chop or keep.... I dont know how else I could have determined sex without vegging them? Unless you know a secret on how to determine sex by looking at the markings on the seed?

Thats exactly what im worried about... Im worried because of the stress of revegging... Ive heard stories of plants hermie-ing with alot less stress...

I say just take clones off what look like females and chop the males down and see what happens...
Thats my plan... Im gunna do just that... I was just wondering if anybody knew for sure that it would be fine or knew for sure there could be complications when taking clones later... This way if I know theres a chance of them going hermie I can trash the grow and start fresh and not waste time.



you can reveg them if you want or just flower those ones and take some clones off to make into moms
Phillip J Fry- Revegging them wont cause too much stress and cause them to hermie next time they flower, or next time their cuttings flower? Also, Ive heard that its not suggested to take clones from a flowering plant... but then i read of a highly credited grower on this site doing just that and having success... But only that one person... Do you know this to be true?

Thanks all for the quick replys and help... very much appreciated!!!
