Very confused!!! my plants are budding outside and its the last week of april

ok i have like 8 plants outdoors and started them the last week of febuary. they started pre flowering about a month ago showing signs of sex, had three males the rest were females. but now its the last week of april and about to be may and they are still puttin out buds. i am very confused been growing for years and never had plants budding this early......any ideas?????

umless your growing the same strain again then it's probably genetics, some strains will flower with less than 16 hour daylight

Are they Autos? My Autos are already making bud.(Diavolo II & White Dwarf) Should be smoking those by the end of May/early June. If they aren't autos then you must have had a light issue for that particular strain.

i have the same thing, its the strain, dont worry give it a month and it will resume vegg growth

The day length is probably still too short. This same thing happened to me and the plant had tO revert to vegging. Itll take a few weeks for the days to lengthen and it revert, and it might stress your plant, but theyll be aite.

im not sure if its an auto flowering strain or not but i did get the seeds out of dro.. the bud was called hog and the guy does grow the same plant every year and i finally found like 10 seeds in the bud and planted them and they are budding like crazy and there only three months old......i dont know i was just cnfused hopefully its genetics but thanks for all the help i appreciate it and will let you know waht happens in the future.

and if they go back into reveg what should i do with all the buds??

If they're ripe, cut, dry, cure, and smoke'em! If not, leave 'em on the plant till it gets new vegetative growth, and if they're impeding air flow to branches, pluck em off, if they start to mold, pluck 'em off...but most likely you can just leave 'em there and your plant will just do it's thing...pics are always helpful at getting people to post on your thread.

Anyway, it's most likely not the strain that caused them to bloom. If you live in the northern hemishpere and you planted in February, you planted them during a light cycle that will naturally induce flowering. Thats why people in the U.S. say not to put your plants out till April/May or they will start buding early. I'm not sure a plant that began to flower and then was re-vegged will ever live up to it's full potential, but it should still produce a nice harvest for ya!

Haha me too!! But only my clones. And there not in an veg. Full on flower. Like fall flowers. Very dense and resinous.
But the 15 seedling now in veg haven even sexed. For so cal growers it's a shitty ass start.
Iv never experiences such a shitty season.
I was gonna post another thread with pics for everyone's input.
It no problem. I'm kinda happy. I grow indoors too so I have clones coming in steady.
So iv been thrownin them out left and right. Want a lil sea of green outdoors Lol
Just hope they stay flowering.

Do You have any idea how longer they will keep putting out buds...will they bud through may?

haha I did the same thing last year...you put them out to early and they started to bud,,,,no big deal man....the only good thing from it you get to get rid of the males,,,don't worry brother,,,they will be fine.....the budding will slow and then stop with in the next week or 2,,,there might be some slow growth while the re-veg kicks back in......i was shitting myself a bit last year when it happend to me...they recoverd and grow just perfect......but i ended up with some big ass ladies lalalalalal good luck bro

aight cool...yo chamezzz should i pick the budz or what???<

thanks for the help bro!!!
