New flowering method, perhaps?

Ive inadvertantly given one of my vanilla kush ladies a hard life, and as a result she is now growing quite strangely to my eye.

Her life timeline is as follows:

From seed
Grown under high output T5's for 8 weeks on 18/6 light cycle. Looked healthy, bushy and compact.
Then perhaps 2 weeks on a 12/12 light cycle. I didnt water her for the second week.
Replanted outside in south east england climate. Withered leaves soon removed and she bounced back.
Shes been outside for a month now and is growing well.

She has many hairs (pistols?) and tiny leaves under the hairs which are covered in tricomes. Considering we are still 8 weeks away from the UK equinox, isnt this strange to be showing signs of flowering? Or is this to be expected considering the abuse Ive shown her?
 
Shes gonna be over 6 months old. Neither 8 or 12 weeks is a lot of veg when growing outside. Natural veg window in the UK is from March to September. When you only have one season per year you want to maximise your yeild.

Noone answered my question though. What is going on with her? She thought it was autumn/fall when I put her on 12/12 and started to flower. Then being put outside must have confused the shit out of her.
 
She is most likely revegging, you did two weeks of 12/12 and she started to flower, now she has over 12 hours light she is starting to re-veg again and stopping flowering. Let her re-veg for a while to kick of the stress and hopefully she will flower ok when you reach the equinox.

Generally the weather in the UK means plants may flower earlier than expected due to the overcast nature of our summers. She should be ok given some more veg time, hopefully. Peace
 
Great stuff. Thanks King, thats what I was hoping to hear. She has bounced back nicely, but is still producing pistols and tricomes. Im not complaining but didnt expect her to behave like this.

Lol, women *rolls eyes*

Maybe you should consider keeping her flowering and on 12/12 lights, re-vegging is a nightmare to me but others do it well, it might have started revegging though so i really dont know but just an idea. Peace
