bruxupanswered grow question 4 years ago What was the light cycle during germination and the beginning of veg? If the plants get exposed to light and get more than 12 hours, it is possible for them to divert and go back into veg. This could cause more stress on the plant though, and could result in it turning hermaphroditic. This happened to me last year where a friend gave me a plant that he grew using a 12-12 light cycle from seed. It started to flower but when I put it outdoors, it started growing a bunch of leaves again, but they only had 3 blades, not the traditional 5 or 7. The plant still flowered before the others in my garden, and it did turn hermaphrodite and was filled with seeds. It is also possible that the seeds were actually autoflowers, and not photoperiods. Hope this helps. Cheers!
