does too much shade and not enough sun cause plants to start flowering early

I have six plants outside in a privacy green house type box. The biggest is a white widow grown from seen planted april 7. I have noticed that she is starting to flower. I have been puting her in the back of the box so the smaller ones can get sun to. Is it just time for her to start or can it be cause she is getting more shade during the day??

That's what I thought cause some places have an overcast all the time and I'm sure they grow like that. I'm in so cal and we are at 14 hrs 13 mins day length. I thought white widow was more like 13 hours but maybe not.

Dude, in Socal the longest day of the year is like 14 and a half hours, your plants shouldn't start flowering untill mid to late Aug. Maybe its just an early finishing strain, but WW if Im not mistaken is a late finisher.

The longest day is 14 hrs 51 mins and was on june 21 and after that we lose a min or 2 a night and I guess apparently the ladies can react on it as they choose. The nights are getting shorter and shorter instead of longer and longer since june 21

Yes I know how the sun works, you probably have an early finishing strain, to finish early you have to start early =)
