Could use some advice on flowering

I’m growing ILGM granddaddy purple feminized (not auto) in a 4x4 tent with 4 vivosun aerolight 100 and 4 cheap full spectrum for side lighting. Running 18/6 on main lights and 24/0 on cheap side lights.
This plant had a very rocky start. I didn’t think it would make it, but it did! After stunting for a whole month, it started taking off, but the main stem somehow got bent over at the soil line so that the bottom of the stem was horizontal(ish) kinda allowed for more side branches i guess.
I’m starting to get comfortable defoliating and tying as needed.
The issue is this, i planted it 67 days ago which normally would be plenty of time to veg, but with losing a month of growth i was trying to veg it a bit longer for the sake of plant size. But this crazy ash thing is trying to flower! At least the very first signs.
Average temp is about 75. Temp range 72-81, rh 45-60%
Plenty of light airflow and air exchange.




I’d like to keep it in veg for at least a couple more weeks if possible. Will it let me? Or is this a losing battle? Any input will be most appreciated!

its not an auto, so u can keep that puppy in veg for as long as u want.
once u flip to a 12/12 light cycle, thats what will cause it to flower.

Keep in mind the plant could double in height during flower.
Looks nice and full!

She’s just telling you she mature enough to send her to flower. Send her when you want .

Ok, so a little peak is normal? Good to know! Thanks!

Plant is telling you that it’s sexually mature. Keeping the lights on current schedule will prevent it going into flower.
