What’s your lighting schedule?
If they are photos. You have shortened the light schedule in some manner ,To promote flowering. If a plant is outside all summer long and when the days start getting shorter in the fall, that’s when they start flowering. Hope that helps good luck.
Welcome to the forum.
As mentioned above, photo period plants will begin flowering when available light drops below 13-14 hours/day. If you put them outside in the spring this will happen.
If the seeds were autos, they’re not light cued to flower, they just do it when they’re ready.
If you can give us detailed info on type of seeds and light schedule we can give more informative answers.
They are being grown outside and I put them in my green house at night for protection but they always put back out in the morning before the sunrise. I planted some more in March those are doing better but still not as good as I would like so time will tell thank you for the information.
They are Afghan bought from ilgm and also purple haze both are fem at least that’s what they said they sent me.
I’m not sure of your location, but outdoors in this hemisphere available outdoor light is 13ish hours, increasing slowly.
So they’ve started flowering due to low hours of natural light. Unfortunately (or not), since daylight hours are increasing the plants will soon revert to veg and stop flowering.
So you have 2 options.
Let them naturally revert to veg, and then begin flowering again in the summer, and harvest in the fall.
Keep them in direct sunlight 12 hours a day, and then hide them somewhere completely dark for the other 12 hours. They should finish in another 6-8 weeks.
I am having the same problem…I bought super skunk feminized seeds and they went into flowering after 8 weeks… we germinated inside and slowly transitioned into a greenhouse. The plants have never been with less than 15hrs of light/sun. Will they transition back to vegetation?
If they’re grown indoors under 18-24 hours of light, and then brought outdoors under significantly less available light they will start flowering. Some strains are more sensitive than others.
Good news is they will start back to veg as light increases. It may take a month, and they’ll appear to stall, but it’ll happen.
With that being said, I feel like they are stressed out a little bit.
Can you give me any pointers on what you think I can do to bring them back?
Hang a light over the 24/7 “all dark hours” for 2 weeks. Then keep it on so the get at least 15+ hours till you have 15+ hours of sunlight
What temps and humidity are you at? This is in a greenhouse, correct? It looks like it may be too hot/intense in there. If there are flaps/windows I’d open them during the day. Increase airflow with some fans.
If you fill this out it’ll give us the info we need so we don’t have to keep asking questions.

Tbh I haven’t read everything on this thread but if someone has already said it. Then yes you planted your seeds to early.
I don’t know where you’re located but you should of checked the amount of hours of light per day in your zone prior to just planting directly outdoors.
Sorry to hear that tho bud.
Thank you will get it back to you ASAP
I think you’re right cause the ones I planted in March are not having this problem thank for the feedback.
Agreed, too early.
But… since you have a greenhouse you could follow this schedule going forward:
So cal outdoor grow schedule
Jan 1st = Harvest, Set out clones, Take cuts for next set of clones
March 15th = Repeat
June 1st = Repeat
Oct 15th = Repeat
will do thanks for the information.
