4 months agoAsk a Grow Question Good morning DGC!! First time posting still sorting out how to use the app. That being said I have an interesting one I thought was suitable for a first post. I have a Poddy Mouth youngster that is and has always been under 18 hours of light that seems to be flowering!? Again relieving 18 hours of light somewhere around 350 PPFD. Has anyone seen this and is it possible to use it for something? Meaning can I use it to bread to promote faster finishers down the line somewhere? Very odd just didn’t want to toss something that was usable in some way…opinions?

Is this an auto by any chance?

@Gato420 that was my thought

If it’s flowering under 18 hours it’s an auto. Poddy Mouth is not an auto so there’s no telling what you’re growing. Did it come from an official HSO seed pack?
-
It’s flowering because it’s Root bound and needs to be transplanted into a larger container that’s the only reason I ever had a photo period plant start flowering under 18 hours of light!
-
How cool would it be to be able to harness this trait and use it to grow a kind of auto flowering plant with zero ruderalis in it! You’d just have to use the right pot size and it’s off to the races. And since the switch to flower would be growth dependent instead of time they could be much more forgiving to grow!

I’ve been growing since 1999 and have had this happen a couple of times through my 25 years of growing it’s genetic dependent and some genetics can start to flower when stressed from being root bound!
-
The last genetic that did this on me was a Blackwater from the Cali-Connection about 11 years ago!

Root bound or stress can cause flowering to start but that doesn’t seem big enough to be root bound. Also under and over watering possibly. Take a cut and throw it under 18/6 again and see if it does it again. If it does toss it.

Thank yall very much for the replies. I understand why the first guess would be it’s an auto but I assure you it is not. It came directly from and out of Humboldt packaging. Unless they sent it on accident which is highly unlikely I’d think. Like yall my next guess would be root bound so I pulled it and it’s definitely not root bound. I’m thinking poddy mouth may just not be for me. I have another plant 5 weeks into flower that has started to herm. Both the larger flowering one and the smaller supposed to be vegging one are both in tents with multiple other Humboldt genetics. (Blueberry Muffin, Jelly Donuts, and ICCxCC) I contacted Humbolt and best we can come up with is I don’t do a gradual flip from veg to flower. I’m aware of the stress this can put on the plants but because I’ve never had a cultivar actually herm or show significant stress I’ve never fixed it. That being said Humbolt gifted me a pack of whatever I want to help out being we still have no explanation for the smaller one. Interesting. She’s still flowering proud in the veg tent. I’m going to allow it to continue keeping a super close eye on it.
