Budding like crazy already!!!

Here is one that has me confused: I started my plant (A Seedsman White Widow) in early February, from seed, inside using CFL's and transplanted to the woods when she was about a foot or so high. (I am in Florida so I can plant outside a little earlier than some.) It is now early June and I have a 2.5 foot plant that is covered in gorgeous, sticky buds already! I am not bragging, I swear. I am confused actually; There is no way that I can imagine that this plant would be able to go into flowering. It is in a somewhat shaded area but it gets a lot of full sun and the days are pretty long here. I guess we are getting 9 hours or so of night right now. I personally am thrilled that it is flowering because, hey- early bud. I just don't understand how. I have several other plants in the same area and they are all in a vegetative stage and looking very healthy. Any ideas why this would happen? I am including some picks:

Also, the plant is in a 5 gallon container. I brought her inside to get a good look at her development and snap some pics. She is already back out in the woods.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Man that is wierd I'm up in Canada and I already had one plant show sex in the last week of may and the days are still long

very nice, maybe you just got lucky?

I have a total of 14 plants all together (Some White Widows, some Arjan's Strawberry Haze and the rest California Hash plants) so I consider myself fortunate to have one flower early simply to have a little bud to enjoy while tending to the others. I am counting my blessings for sure. Beats paying my man for a sack. (Weed is cheap here in FLA if you are happy with regs but anything good will cost you an arm and a leg.)

Appears it maybe autofowering?

That's what I thought too. But why would it autoflower when the other 4 seeds from the same pack are in normal vegetative growth?

could be an error at a seedbank....was in in a breeders pack or rebagged?

Yeah i think you got an autoflower mixed in with your seeds. its all good you'll get some buds early!

what was your light cycle before bringing them outside??if you read on this forum a little you will find out theres a few people including myself whos plants are budding due to either starting to early or due to not changing thier light cycle to match the outdoors sun light cycle

Strange.....

I was on an 18/6 cycle before planting outside. The plants looked great when I put them into the woods and this one is the only one that has gone into flowering. To paint a picture: I put 3 outside- the flowering one and 2 others. The other 2 are vegging nicely and so did this one for a while. One day I came out and noticed flowers appearing on the one (Whom I have named "Gloria"). Well, everyday they got more and more pronounced until I was amazed that beautiful buds had started to cover the plant. I am not complaining: I am thrilled that I have some buds to enjoy. But why didn't the other 2 plants do the same? They are all planted within a few feet of each other. I also have 8 inside my grow room and they are all flowering now too but that is because they have been on a 12/12 cycle for nearly 3 weeks. All in all I have nothing to complain about: all my ladies look spectacular! I am a lucky man. I am gonna take it for what it is: I am being rewarded by Buddha for loving my plants sooooo much. They are like family to me. I talk to them and nurture them like they are my own children. God, I love growing these beautiful plants!!!

Uh... 11 inside, not 8. My math sucks...

Dude if your plant was on 18/6 its is supposed to flower when you set it out,I start all my plants inside on 14 hours of daylight,this keeps them from flowering when they are set out.What the hell it looks like youve got some smoke!!!peace

any chance she was one of the flowering ladies in 12/12 room and mixed up?

No, there was no chance of that, I promise.

Just had 2 ask, your math got fuzzy there on the headcount,lol

The only thing I can come up with is like some of the others have pointed out: An autoflowering variety must have gotten mixed into my breeders pack. That is the only reasonable explanation. If so, I am now a firm beliver in autoflowering strains and may try some in the very near future. I was never completely sold on them. My reasoning was they are somehow cross-bred with Ruderalis or something and that can't possibly make a good strain of weed. (I know, I am over-simplifying matters.) I may have to rethink my beliefs and philosophy's.

Yeah, I will never be accused of being a genius. (Side note: I misspelled "genius". My spell check had to catch my mistake. Proves my point.)

Its all good bro, i wasnt tryin to dig at cha.

Enjoy the early outdoor smoke!

I didn't take it that way. No worries man! And I can't wait to try Gloria out!!!
