What could possibly cause 2 different strains to flower under 18/6?? DP Oasis and SA Durban x Skunk The Oasis is 80 days old...I was grooming them to be mother plants. The DP Oasis is about 1 month older than the Durban x skunk.. I was going to take clones to sex them and pick my fave for a mother from each strain and scrap the rest. I start looking them over closely to take clones and I find some pollen sacks, thank goodness they weren't open yet. So I look at all of them and I find every plant has very early flowers. I jerked all the males, hopefully in time. I can't figure out what the problem is..they are in great soil, the temps, PH are in line. I'm using Botanicare nutes, Liquid Karma and problend veg.. They look great and healthy. Im freaked out thinking I'm not going to get a good mother because they are already flowering. I read up on the DP website and in the description it says nothing about autoflowering. Does anyone have any experience with Oasis?? I'm stumped, and pretty bummed out. What should I do guys??
 
well 80 days of flower is a long flower time inside for unknown male or female plant.Did you have good low stress on the plants? Decent white light not hps or red spectrum to trick the plants into thinking bloom? No dark periods? I aways keep moms to be on 24 hours light to avoid any accident flowering.Kept it nitrogen heavy and low phos which would sent them to flower??

The condidtions are close to ideal, they had some stress early in life, a little rootbound at about 3 weeks old, they are under 430 HPS 18/6. The nutes are high in Nitro, low in P and K. They arent preflowers the males had fully developed pods, just hadnt popped yet.
 
well I see 3 things that might be the cause.The early stress, the root bound issue and your under hps red flowering light instead of blue or enhnaced white spectrum.the red can trigger them to go into flower and stretch if on them before your ready to flower
