Issues with flowering plants too soon

Hey everyone
Has anyone experienced issues with flowering a plant too soon? I’ve noticed some things like when i want to see what a specific strain is like by flowering it too soon. Whether that might be not vegging long enough, size wise or maturity, possibly not rootbound in final pots. Those are things I’ve come up with that could make a plant not perform like it should if it was flowered earlier than the plant would like.
Ive put smaller plants in big pots that just seem not to grow as good. Buds are smaller and most recently ive had some sugar leaves that are discolored. This isn’t out of impatience but just wanting to see what a specific strain might grow like before I make a decision to hold onto for a while. However it seemed to back fire and will have to grow it out again and allow it to veg longer. My hopes are that isn’t the strain and one of the issues I listed
Has anyone experienced something like this or a similar issue with throwing a plant into flower too early than the plant would like

No. It is my experience that whether it be an auto, a photoperiod plant grown indoors at 12/12 from seedling, or an outdoor grow photoperiod, the plant flowers when it is time for it to flower based on genetics or environmental conditions. I have had stress cause plants that were in flower finish earlier (or at least seem to “ripen” earlier to me). The only issue I have experienced is reduced yields, but that is due to the smaller plant size as a result of less vegetative time. If your plant is failing to thrive, it might be due to your grow conditions or plant genetics, but switching it to flower early is likely not the cause since a plant can only flower when it is big enough to support the flowers (which is why 12/12 from start grows don’t pop buds/flowers immediately).
