Reduction in light needed to flower so probably not

Doubtful

Maybe some nanners but I do not believe that it will make a plant flower as always thank you for your time and the best of luck

O ya welcome to Riu and I will be looking forward to seeing what you are doing so if you have any pictures would like to see them

Thanks, I was wondering why my Mimosa’s are flowering after 2 months, it’s not supposed to be Auto. Southern Hemisphere middle of summer, they should veg for another couple months.

Pictures of your ladies if they are ladies have you sexed them yet and if they are auto from what I know about them they grow fast but that is about it but I do know a guy and I trust and respect his skills @Wizzlebiz can you please help out as always thank you for your time and the best wishes to you and your family

Do you have a pic? More light shouldn't cause flowering.

Yep. Or mistaking sexual maturity for beginning of flower.

Were they started indoors and moved outside or started outdoors?

Planted straight from seed early October (Southern Hemisphere) Barneys farm mimosa evo fem photoperiod. Growing outdoors in a green house. she’s 2 months old and in flower. By my count should only start blooming around March, I thought maybe she was stressed out from the neighbours spot light outside. Thanks to everyone for their input, I reckon this strain just does that, as per advise, none of the other plants, which are different strains are in flower, I was worried a light issue might force all of them to flower early, so just genetics probably, I would have liked her to get a bit bigger before bloom.

If you aren't getting 14+ hours of sunlight a day, most strains will just flower outside right away. You can use supplemental lighting at night to keep them from flowering early...couple led bulbs for a few hours at night is all it takes. Too late now though.

Nope , straight from seed. Next time I’ll try the supplemental light though. Thanks everyone.

What was the length of day when they became sexually mature? (4-6 weeks old) My longest day of the year is 14 hours 7 minutes, so I deal with this all the time. A couple three years ago two of my strains flowered in June (in NW Florida) and never revegged. Once in a while you will get that. Just enjoy the summer smoke.
