I've been asking around about early flowering because i had one plant (kushy kush by canuck seed) start flowering end of july.
farmer told me a mature plant can flower with 15 hours of light if light isn't strong enough, like forest fires making sunny days hazy or alot of cloudy rainy days.
enviroment can trick flowering gene to start triggering and the plants become less sentive to light trigger and flower early. he said he thinks plant is protecting itself for a short grow season and the wheel in the sky keeps on turning.
WARNING*** this discussion was on shrooms and i have no clue if true but the best reason i've heard that makes sense, i mean we fertilize are plants every year the same way and they don't flower early most years. i don't know if some kind of steriod could trigger flowering or have i google any of this to research.
@Plant Daddy photo plants topped 3 times, they get top heavey and bottom gets no light(i'm too lazy too clean up underneath, but you should) i use bottom popcorn bud for edibles.
I try and net them this year too harvest less broken branches early, good support is a must because monster buds hold monster amounts of water, snap, crackle , pop you have early harvest samples.
auto's topped, one on right isn't topped. thinking i'll be topping my auto's from now on. i'll alos have to build something around the autos when buds get bigger.
my clones planted in july, want to see how big they get planting late.
