Dear Dan Greetings from the muttsDaisy and Sally! I have a mother-plant thats under 18 hours of fluorescent lighting and it looks like shes budding. I see lots of hairs on itcan that be? DJ Dear DJ You may have an auto-flowering plant on your hands. If thats the case it will just continue flowering and you should pick a different plant as your mother-plant. Its also possible that your plant is simply showing pre-flowers in which case its not really an issue. If the flowering doesnt progress you should be fine. Be sure that the plant is getting enough light intensity during those 18 hours as well. Plants in low-light conditions can flower on their own as well.
