Lol thanks guys! Figured that was the case just never heard of this happening so I wasn't expecting it. Definitely a pleasant surprise.
Ironically I have 3 more bagseed plants that are the same age as this one. I gave them to some friends and there's aren't showing sex. They're using T12's tho. Told them to get at least 9 2600k cfl bulbs to flower them.
Now I have to figure out what to do with her. Wasn't expecting to flower her until my autos are done but that's at least a month away. Thinking ill take clones and chop the mother after the clones take root. This gives me a chance to refresh my cloning skills for when I really need them with my good genetics plus it buys me a month to finish my autos.
Not sure what ill put the clones in. I was thinking either soil or a homemade bubbler. Thought I could take a 1gal icecream bucket, make it light proof and maybe bubble 6 clones in it. Any opinions on this?

Thanks! There's are actually under T12's. They look really healthy too but more stretched out and not showing sex yet. Also, I did forget to mention I've been feeding this plant the same feed as my autos so its been getting bloom nutes lol
Thinking ill clone them. I wish outdoors was an option. Maybe someday I can. I'd love to have a huge greenhouse.
Lol probably right there not a big deal tho. Even if she would've stayed in veg until the Autos were done it would've been waaaay to big to flower and I sill would've had to clone her.
My main concern is the Autos and Photos I ordered from Attitude. I may never even grow the clones or the bagseed plant to harvest if I don't have enough room. It does give me a chance to play around with cloning before I need to clone my good strains. Hate to neglect the bagseed cuz it could be really good just don't have the space and don't like not knowing what I'm growing lol.
In the past I've always cloned with clone gel and peat pellets. Thinking I want to try a few different methods. I may do one straight to soil, one in a bubble bucket, and one as a air clone. The last method is mainly to practice for my blue OG. I've heard this plant can be difficult to clone normally and air cloning sees to work really well on it.
I got a KloneKing '' I do believe it is spelt Klone with a k'' 64 site for 100.00 on ebay and I have put over 300 clones through it only loosing 2 of them which were shitty clones anyways. I just split the ends then scrape them then I dip them in clonex gel. I use tap water with about 600ppm of clonex solution in the machine and keep light and pump on 24/7 with great results and roots about 10 days some sooner and some later depending on strain. I also now use H&G Roots Excelerator in it also. I like the aerocloners because you don't have to cover them or spray them at all though I do give them a B'cuzz foliar spray once in a while but it does not seem to do much but make them a bit greener.
In the future ill be investing in something like this but im on a super tight budget. Thanks for the info though!
Tried out some cloning tonight for the first time in a long time lol. I took 4 small clones off of my bagseed plant that recently showed female pistils under a 20/4 light schedule.
I tried two different methods. I put one clone straight into a soil pot after putting on cloning gel. For the remaining three I decided to try something a little more interesting. I built a homemade bubble bucket. I basically used a 1gal square ice cream bucket, light proofed it, and cut 4 holes in the lid. I made 3 small plastic discs out of plastic cups with a slice halfway through and a small hole in the middle. I put the 3 clones into the disc and taped them into the lid. The remaining hole I used for my air pump lines and made a flap to go over the top. I think it actually worked out pretty well. Just used stuff laying around the house. Only time will tell how successful it is lol
Here's a few pics....
