Going to flower

[saxman]

Hey all, but of a potential dilemma here. Got a couple of plants going well, they are outside in full sun all day, one was under lights until about 4 weeks ago the other was started outside and kept out. They are looking happy and healthy, but noticed a couple of white hairs this morning. Now they look like they are certainly in flower. Both are white widow x big bud. I was hoping the one that came out from under lights wouldn't flick over to flower and it didn't, so perplexed now. What on earth is going on?? I did repot them 2 days ago, and the bigger one has rewarded me with a good 3 inches of new growth in the couple of days since. I was expecting a tree by the time it started flowering. I'm in Sydney, and have them out in the open for now so they get full sun all day. Will post pics soon.

The plants

Subbed. Have a plant doing the exact same thing. Same conditions and strain as 5 others outdoors from day dot. All feminised... Go figure. Watching here to see what other good people say.

With all the cross breeding going on it is probably inevitable that some early or even auto flowering genes start showing up in some phenos.

[MrCompletion]

I thought that or mixed up seeds from the dispensary.

Have a look at the light hours outside

We are at about 13.5 hrs daylight and increasing

Approx 1/2 way through September it was 12/12

But being outside they would have started to turn at 12 hrs daylight 

The daylight hours haven't increased enough to revert it back yet

I get what you're saying merl1n, but it's only the last 2 days they have decided to start flowering. From first light to last light is 14.5 hours here, if they were going to go to flower I would have thought it would happen a month ago, when there was less light. I might grab a couple of solar lights to put next to them just to see if that helps.

[billygoat]

can you put them back under lights for a few more weeks ?

[saxman]

If I could I would, bear in mind that one of them was grown outdoors from seed so only one has had the light hours reduced a month ago, the other has had increasing light it's whole life. I even took half a dozen clones from the bigger one on Sunday!! BTW, even done outdoors I'm getting near 100% success with the cloning, only taken about half a dozen prior to those ones but they have all rooted, first season really trying my cloning techniques too.
