All 10 of my GDP began flowering 2 - 3 months after I popped them. In my mind there's no chance they were anywhere close to rootbound enough to cause this. I have other strains that are still in the small bags and are growing just fine. If this is stress related, then it reflects purely on the genetics. As far as lighting goes, it could be possible that the power has gone out briefly before, but if it did, it didn't affect any other plant other than all 10 of the GDP. There was a period of excess heat earlier this summer, but I don't know if it corresponds with the timing of the flowering. I've read in this thread that GDP is a heat tolerant strain.
For what its worth, certain indica strains will start flowering purely based on age. Once they get past a few months old, they'll autoflower.

Sounds like GDP is one of these.

I don't think there is anything you can do to stop this, either.

Bullshit.


I know of indica's that are years old clone only mums.
I have kept Indicas myself for years. Indicas are also easy to reveg So they not into auto flowering unless they have been geneticly added by rudder

I'm still at 1 female, 6males, 6 no germs....now I think I lost my last two :( what I thought was a girl was another Damn boy. He's in 12/12 getting ready to bust a nut for my ace of spades (sativa BCS, color showed during 2nd week flower, excited about her)

Yea..... I had a beautiful female. IMG1791.jpg IMG1789.jpg IMG1808.jpg I wasn't on the cloning wagon then so was hoping i'd get another girl, 1/13is very shity. I however am not gonna say the males are the companies fault, but all the horrible germ rates were. Newer batches seem to be having no germ problems thou, my observation

I said some strains, not all. Unfortunately, I don't have a reference to cite, but I have read that certain indicas may start flowering once they hit a certain age.

In any case, as plants get older, they require fewer hours of darkness to start flowering.

Once they're a few months old, some (not all) of the pure indica strains can flower under as little as 8 hours of darkness, meaning they will effectively "autoflower" anywhere in the continental USA if put outside AT ANY TIME.

Indoors, you "should" be able to keep them in veg with 18 or more hours of per day of lighting, though I think if you're close to 16, they may flower. I suspect this may be the OP's problem.
