Hypothetical scenario and a fun story.

So, I was growing a plant (a regular one, i think a norfolk pine) that my friend gave me. It was pretty much dead when he gave it to me. He was going to trash it, but given the fact that I love plants of all sorts and am pretty good at reviving them, I convinced him to just give it to me. Much to my surprise, and entertainment, a few sprouts popped out of the dirt after a few weeks of bringing it back from the dead. Well, both are weed! After asking him about it, he thinks he dropped some seeds in there a long time ago, and since he was so bad at watering the poor pine, the seeds never got enough moisture to germinate. Anyways, here is my question.

I have limited space, and the space I do have is already being used by my real grow, which at the moment is on 12/12, so I can't transfer these plants into my grow room for obvious reasons. So, instead, i uprooted them and put them in my aero garden which I use to grow basil, cilantro, etc. I want to keep them in there until Spring where I will transplant them outdoors. (there is still 3 feet of snow on the ground here). My aerogarden is on normal light cycles which goes off everynight, and is essentially 12/12 I think, never really payed any attention. So, I think I am pretty much in flowering phase already on the sprouts, in the weed-growing sense. Does it really matter in the long run? If it does flower in a month or so, does it really matter? It's not like its going to die, can I just transfer it outside in early spring and then it will revert to veg phase and be fine anyways?

that was too much to read! next time keep it short and sweet! umm, why not just set the timer for 16on 8 off? that way your basil or w/e can still produce or w/e and your plants wont start to flower! that way you wont have to worry about them revegging

I don't know if that is possible, there are no buttons on the darn thing except for what type of crop you are growing and reset.

you dont have a timer for your lights? hmm, can you post a link to what you have going on? it doesnt have to be YOUR setup but something similar.

if you go from flower to veg it can cause hermies so no. i dont htink you want any pollen near your house at all. put em under a floro for 24 aday it tkes little power and theyll be ready when the snow is gone

how old are these plants? i got the notion that they were very young. a little change in light cycle will not make a difference to a seedling!
