i have started 1 ams bob marley (claimed to be sativa) sometime around march 10th, it is above 2 ft and showed preflowering signs about a month ago, it's a girl, she's growing like crazy.
then at april 1st or something close to that, i started 6 bagseed ak47 (the bud they came from was really strong, one hit wonder, so im gonna keep calling it ak47 because of the resemblance). all showed signs when they were around 10", 5 fems, 1 male, around the same date they showed signs of sex 1 of them actually started the process of flowering. it is now 20" and in 6th week of flowering. other 4 are growing, above 2ft in size.
it all depends man, they go crazy in the wild, they love it out there!
anyways, i wouldn't count on timelines or strain to tell you when one will start flowering. ppl told me the one in flower would reveg and it triggered itself because of the relatively long night period when i started it, it didn't, it wanted to flower and started, if everything goes well, she'll be harvested in 2-3 weeks time.
i think that outdoor growing is much different than indoor growing. you can't control everything as you can inside a grow room, thus we are experiencing early flowering plants.
i even read on some article that in countries that know no more than 14-15 hours of light per day, most of the plants will flower strictly based on their age and size, so you probably will end up with 3 harvest times all year round (besides winter of course). sounds pretty much logic to me.
"are they going to flower at their full potential as if they were flowering in august.???? "
not sure bout this one, and my lithium battery decided it's dead so im waiting for a new one so i could upload new pictures, but my flowering plant looks quite promising at 5 weeks flowering. will post pics soon in my thread
