I have two plants that I still need to move outdoors that seem to have come into flower. They are about a month and a half old and are under fluorescent lights 14.5 hours light / 9.5 dark. Is it worth keeping them and waiting for them to return to veg or would I run into problems, poor harvests etc.? I would move them in out these days.
early flowering
- Thread starter Raka
- Start date
I know the difference between pre-flowers and the beginning of flowering... I'll post photos tomorrow, however I can assure you that floral clusters are forming. When you see 4-6 pistillate calyxes on all the tips of the plant, they are not just preflowers which indicate sexual maturity but it has entered flowering, unfortunately.
I just hope that the other plants I transplanted outdoors the day before yesterday are doing well... but I have a bad feeling. She didn't want us! starting to sow again in mid-May is not a tragedy, but still two months of wasted money and work. I checked the notes from previous years and realized that this year I sowed a few weeks earlier and I set the timer to 14.5 hours of light instead of 15.5 which is what I usually set since it coincides with the hours of lights present at the end of May, the date I usually use to move them outdoors.
Yes, I have already brought the light cycle to 15 hours, but in any case the intention was to move them outdoors these days... the hours of light outdoors are around 15 hours and are increasing... even if I found out that the plants I moved outdoors have also started flowering, what do you recommend I do? Is it worth the wait? or is it better to start with fresh new plants? luckily I already have the seeds ready, this is the only thing that is giving me some consolation
sorry for my bad english

These plants don’t look like they’re flowering. Even if they are, just let them go. I’ve had outdoor plants go into full on flower mode from light stress and I just let them re-veg and they turned out perfectly fine. My biggest yield ever on an outdoor plant was one that flowered early then revegged.
it seems that all the plants show many pre-flowers, it seems that they are quite confused... I am heartened to hear your experience, because I really don't know what to do, whether to remove them and put in new starts

Def don’t remove…..they should revert back based on all of my research. I’m having the same problem.
Whats crazy is last yr my bro in law set a good size plant outside too early……I know it was some time in April. It started flowering and stretching like crazy, never reverted back and ended up finishing really early, like Sept 1. I couldn’t believe how much bigger it got. I can’t explain why it happened but he was sure glad at the time. Here in Va, most plants won’t finish until well into Oct, which brings with it some troublesome weather conditions.

That sounds like a fast version of cannabis. It's an initial cross between indica or sativa with ruderalis genetics. The seeds will have some that are neither photoperiod or auto. While they can be held in the vegetative state to increase their size once the light exposure reduces to 12 hours their ruderalis genetics take over and they will flower as opposed to reveg even if the light exposure lengthens.
Very interesting bit of knowledge right there. I know they were feminized photoperiod seeds but I can’t recall where he got them. White Widow was the strain and the plant couldn’t have turned out any better. Thanks for the info..:.what a hobby this MJ farming has become.
