Grow room was at 55° for a week...

Got a plant that is about 6 weeks old. I was gone for a week, and as it would happen, that's just when the heater in the room failed and the temperature was at about 50-55° for 5 days. Otherwise everything was functioning, primarily, the light was on for 18 hours, and the waterer was running.
The strange thing is, now that the temp is back to normal, the plant has grown only nominally and appears to be flowering. I've monitored it for the week that I've been back, and have a time laps camera on it, so i can clearly see the slight growth, and compare to the more robust growth in the weeks before.

So I guess the questions are: Can the cold cause it to go into flowering? I'm relatively new, and only knew of the change in the light timing would trigger flowering.

If so, should I just let it go and change the timing of the light at this point so that it will flower 100%.

Any suggestions are MUCH appreciated!

well its definitely flowering but the cold alone shouldnt do that. where exactly did you get your seed from? might be a auto flower. thats the only thing i can think.

From 'the weed blog/ILoveGrowing...' dude. I just looked back at the order and see it is 'blueberry autoflowering'. Guess I should have found out what that meant!! So.... What does that mean??? :) and what do I need to do at this point? Seems early for flowering, but are they just stunted from the cold so it seems early?

Thanks for your input!!

Thanks Guys. Bass, I don't really know what you mean to 'put it on your veg side'? Should I do something to get it to go back to vegetative growth? Should I change the lights to encourage flowing since it's there? It's getting 'stinky' and sticky so I'm wondering if I should just go with it and hope for the best??

Thanks again!

he means if you have a room for vegging plants and a room for flowering plants that you could leave that in the veg room under the veg light cycle since its a auto and will flower regardless of the amount of hours of light it gets.
just leave it where its at and let it grow man.

OK, cool. I just have a small tent with one plant so no other place for it anyway. I'll let her grow and see where she goes! Thanks everyone!
