Sorry Rado for belaboring your simple question, like the journal, you might have gotten more than you bargained for.
Anyhow, the force flowers are doing great, real happy with them so far, this right now might be my favorite part of their lives, it's that feeling where you've "transformed something". They become so different throughout the flowering transition, they change so much, when they're fully budding for awhile, you get used to it. I never get used to how different the plant is from pure veg to pure flower, with those centralized flower heads.
Everything needs to be sprayed with a round of azamax, it will happen tomorrow. I've noticed more bugs coming out and increasing amounts of the white butterflies which lay those loopers.
Stuff in natural flowering tent is..... well.... flowering like hell. I guess we're just gonna call this an experiment for the 4 plants in the white tent. Based on the theory, they will begin a revegeation event during the middle of hard flower. Perhaps, if anything, with these plants I can provide a prime time example of what you ideally want to avoid. Things are possible however, what if the plant decides to just flower hard and form perfect buds, even though the light hours are increasing heavily towards the June solstice, theory says this won't happen, but perhaps there could be a chemical explanation in the body of the plant. If it can still continue the flowering protein without the manipulation of light, perhaps they have the autoflowering genes in them but they don't express them, that's why their photoperiod (but not really because ruderalis is a different species of plant, but hey). But if for some reason, when you begin any particular flowering event, you instill the plant to transcribe several, dozens of different proteins, on a production line of DNA.
If you hit a gene segment that doesn't care about the photoperiod and also makes the gene product for flower signaling, perhaps it could happen. I had a friend grow perfect buds natural flowering which flowered through the solstice, that's because he released them off 24/0 and they got far enough in and never went back with no reveg. I think this is rare, but each different plant is a different biochemical master, which makes different specifically calculated decisions about the environment. Each time we flower them, we test their will to survive, what will they do. As we've seen, we can run into polyploid specimens, recently we saw one on the eye candy thread. This is a little different, but still pokes at the idea of genetic explanations.
So I'm interested to see whether the 4 tent plants are able to successfully revert, completely fail, or just truck on through. Hopefully at least the SD variant stays in veg until its time for fall flowering. I'll probably adjust the lighting on the newer clones so they're getting a bit more darkness, so they adjust easier to being released and will get some proper veg in, at least that's the idea... I'll figure it out eventually
