you probably had them vegging under either 24 hrs of light or 18, to start a plant outside this early you need to have it acclimated to a 15-16 hour light cycle, or the change will trigger them. They'll still grow, but now it'll re-gen and have weird growth for a couple months.

Us here in Cali are just entering the veg cycle for mj....looks like they've been out for a while for the most part raised at the end of last years 12/12 cycle....it'll "reveg" and get on the right track as the days get longer in the months to come...just leave it...keep it on a veg feeding program....

You lose around 6 weeks if I am to believe the books I read....

The plant above lost at least a month of growth between me noticing it was flowering and getting new growth. Probably closer to 6 weeks.

If it was a good thing to do, all the big outdoor growers would be planting early and forcing their plants to re-veg, but they don't............just sayin'
