Hi my fellow growers I started germinating my cannabis plants early march and I moved them outside too early at the very start of april they are growing well they look healthy and ive just given them there 3rd feed I noticed small white hairs coming from the leaves so I feel like they are flowering. Can you please look at my photos and tell me if you think they are flowering ? And if they are flowering this early what will happen ?
Will they reveg again when the days get longer and then reflower again or are my plants doomed please tell me what you think the case is and what you think I should do thank you.
I hope you all stay safe during this pandemic

I don't see any who hairs, your plants look healthy and are clearly growing quickly. Give then some Calmag they're a little pale

It could just be showing sex, better to start outdoor around mid April - May. Less trouble with early flowering/reveg if the seeds are started outside.

Thanks mate it's funny you have said that cause when I made my food today I did not add calmag cause I was not sure if they need it but I've already fed them so I will add calmag on the next feed or can I just mix calmag and water now and go give it to them or should I wait until next feed. Thanks for your reply

I dont see the hairs but I definitely noticed that "bunched up look" that they get at the top when they are about to flower.
If your plant has become sexually mature (usually between 4 to 6 weeks old) it's best not to have them outside until the daytime is at 15 hours (tho I wont put them out until around 15.5 to be safe) which is usually mid may or later.
If they do flower and they do look like they are about to then yes they will eventually reveg as the days get longer. Every strain takes to revegging differently too. Some will reveg quicker then others, and some will actually give you a decent harvest. Others will take longer for the hormonal change to happen and harvest yeilds will be lacking.

Either way just keep feeding and tending to them and it will all work out in the end.

It's helpful to look up the amount of daylight you're getting to confirm whether they're getting an amount of light that would make them flower. I use https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/ to look up my city and see how much light I'm getting. In theory anything below 14 hrs could cause them to flower, but plenty of people have seedlings going outdoors at this point for their summer grows.

It totally depends on your latitude! Here in SoCal we only ever hit ~14.5 hours of daylight at the summer solstice in the middle of June and ~9:45 of daylight in the middle of winter, with >14 hrs only from the middle of may to the end of July. People will still be vegging their plants ahead of that time frame.

Yeah, I can see hairs in the last photo, it's pre-flowering. They should pull back out of it, or if you are worried you could add a little supplemental lighting to boost the amount of hours of light. Did you start them under a light? If so then you have to adjust the light hours to somewhat match the natural light cycle in your area at the time you plan to put them out, before you put them out.
I personally usually start plants mid march under natural light cycles, so 12 hours or less, a month later I'm still only getting 13 1/4 hours and I have never gotten pre-flowers growing in this way. It's my opinion that most of the time pre-flowering in starts is caused by plants going from longer light cycles to shorter ones too rapidly.

I've had strains revegetate and only grow three leaf sets the remainder of the grow, and bud output was hurt. Yeah, wait a little longer next time, like end of May.
