12/12 applies to indoor grows only. Outdoor is different, depending on location. I am in Wisconsin and I am predicting real flowering to start early August at about 14.5 hrs sunlight per day.
I am in the US do you have an idea of what’s going one with mines don’t know if she’s back into flowering or just revegged back

Two nights ago I was at 15 hrs of sun that day. Tonight will be my 2nd night under 15 hrs of sun. I am losing almost 2 minutes of sunlight a day now, so my plants are certainly on alert now.

I'm too new at this. My first grow. But someone will have the answers for you. There are some baller as growers here!!
same here I’ve been losing minutes by every other day by the end of this month I will be 13 hours and 20 mins so less by 10 mins next month I would be at 12 hours and 50 mins
Ok man that’s cool I want to do it big because I make music so when I get rich ima have 3 big factory grow rooms if that makes sense but yea I’ll share mines with u

I am also a noob, so take this with a grain of salt, but I believe your plant started to flower because it was put out a little too early, and then as the days got longer it realized that it should go back to vegging. If you are at 13 hours of sunlight by the end of July, your plant is gonna start to flower again pretty soon. Depends on the strain. The fact that it already started to flower once might also have an effect on the timing of its second flower.
Never thought of that last part thanks for that one and @ijust yea the days here are getting shorter by the end of July I’m 10 mins more towards the dark cycle , in September I would be in the 12 hour by there but thanks for mentioning it doesn’t comply with outdoors.
By the way I’m growing 2 fruit spirit and 1 critical 60 % Sativa 40 % Indica feminized seeds by royal queen seeds , the big one that has revegged is a bagseed from a strain that I smoked and it was a pretty good smoke I hope this revegged plant would do its thing soon because she been throwing single bladed leaves for a month already I have pictures that I take every 4 days to see the growth .

I don't see where you describe your timing. This is a light timing issue. Sounds like you started inside and moved out without balancing the light timing. You didn't put them out too early, you put them out and didn't bring them back in to harden them off and get used to "sun timing". I bet you were giving them 18 or more hrs. of light inside and them put them out at less than 12 hrs. This threw the plants into early flower. When I did this on my first grow, (and they flowered early) I was advised to dump them and start over. I waited, the early flowers didn't drop, just paused and was harvested at the normal time for some but most had to be taken early. The THC/CBD levels suffered across the board but it was good to cook with. Now, I harden off seedlings and balance light timing by weaning them off any artificial light source and leaving them outside for more and more time each day. The hardened plants then are outside 100% by one month, (third week of April). You can't beat the sun with any artificial source as long as you learn to handle the extra challenges outdoor brings, (bugs, disease, bad weather). You'll find conflicting ideas here about just about everything but one thing I've learned to share is the bigger the pot the bigger the pot! Use the biggest pot you can move around. Unless you have the right amount of space in the right amount of sun exposure during the right time of the day, you will need pots to: move into shade when it gets too hot; above 85, separate from the others for treatment, turn for different light angle exposure, move out of view angle from the nosy neighbors and finally if necessary (as it has been this year) move the whole grow inside when it got over 100 before it killed the whole crop. There is no arguing one can get more volume of finished flowers outside, but chemical strength is another discussion. With the precision indoor conditions offer I see chemical ratio's there that seem unattainable with a home grow. So I buy what I smoke and vape or bake with the home grow. Seems like a greenhouse with an opening roof would be the best bet if I was getting into the business. I'd want the superior light source of the sun in an environment where I can control temps, humidity, bugs and disease much better. Are there any commercial growers using this technique?
Ah actually it was started outdoors it’s while life cycle , I do not do indoor I don’t even have lights so all I do is outdoor grow and I say early because they guy that gave me the flowering plant he sprouted in early March when the nights where still long and by may it was showing flowers but I guess it was going back this is how she looks now

The only time you can get away with putting a plant out earlier then 15 hours of daylight is if the seedling is not Mature yet and (this is the important part) when it does sexually mature (between 1 and 1 1/2 months old on avg) the daylight hours are more then 15.
That is why most do not plant til mid May or early june. Anything below 15 hours and you will be messing with fire.
With what you did, you really messed with the yield. You can also use supplemental lighting outdoors on your plant to keep them from flowering.
Do more reading and you will do better next yr

Ganga, I agree with most except timing for the start. I start (sprout) the first day of spring (3/21) then the seedlings spend a little time outdoor (Not direct sun until one month) until five sets of leaves. Then they are moved outdoors permanently. Your plans timing was messed up from the beginning and likely won't yield much. I'd suggest trying starting from seed next time. Then you can control everything. Nature's own clock is the best to follow.

The reason I made that statement is if you look at most the posts come June in the outdoor section....lots of people have flowering plants and don't know why. If you put them out too early they flower. Your method works for you and that is great ...but be careful to not confuse noobs.
