Well dang! The sunrise is around 630 but they dont get the actual sun until around 7- 730 am and full sun until around 830 pmish! I have been reading about others flowering early as well. I don't quite understand it but here to hoping she gets pretty big before harvest since i cant top her.

They are flowering because you put them out too early or some other light screw-up. Posts show up every year with people posting the same early flowering issues. They will reveg and carry on until the normal photoperiod flowering time in mid-late August, depending on your location. No point in topping or fimming as you’ll have shit growing everywhere once they fully reveg in a few weeks.
I think people sometimes forget that these plants are photoperiod sensitive.

Not necessarily. I had a timer mess up on a few plants last year causing early flowering. 4 plants in total affected. One of them had the highest yield of the crop (34 oz) and one had the lowest (11 oz). Difficult to predict...really depends how long they stay in limbo before getting back to full vegetative growth.
I wouldn’t scrap a grow based on a reveg.
Its too late to re-start now
Thank you for the hope!!! Hoping for the best! 2 look like they are well into reveg now, 1 still growing but slow and another half is reveg and top part is still in limbo. I still have plenty of time for them to get goin, should i try the 2 hour lights at midnight?
How would i do that? I need ideas super new still. Thank you

I did it by holding the stem just above a joint, between 2 fingers. Then I tested the stem by squeezing my finger together little squeeze first , then a little harder. Do it until you feel it is going to break. I rolled it slightly between my finger also. You will feel it when it begins to give. When it happens do not move too fast and break it off. Move it to the angle you want See pic 1. Pic 2 was taken the next day and pic 3 was 2 days later. It was the first time I had ever done it also.

Sorry not trying to be a downer, those plants are like 2 weeks into flower, that’s a little far, I’m guessing your timer mess up was probably just a few days, which you could come back from and be alright. OP will find out, I’d honestly start a few more plants if I were you it’s not too late just add some extra lighting for a few hours to keep them vegging

Haven’t you ever heard of monster cropping? People intentionally do this all the time. In fact most of them agree that the flower ends up better in the end…
Im growing outside. I have no lights
i do have 1 baby plant growing as well (power plant) only known plant so far so im gonna let those continue and hope for the best. I started too early i guess. I planted them early AprilIm gonna look monster cropping up

If you have no lights there is no chance of you mosnter cropping. That requires putting a flowering plant back into the veg state which will take you around 2 weeks. From there to get a reasonable cut from it this will take about a month or maybe two more. Not to be a downer but this thread got kinda smacked around..Im growing outside. I have no lights
The plants are flowering I would leave them. To prevent premature flowering in the future Wait until your days are over 14.5 hours. It is dependent on the region. I think the safe word is June 1st but don't quote me

I wish the pics were a bit more clear so I could see the flower formations.. But they look really green and happy
