Early flowering in one strain

Hi all! So I've been growing for a while but am new to autos so I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out what's going on in my new garden.

This setup is entirely new to me. I've got a 4'x2'x5' tent with a Spider Farmer SF2000 LED. Grow medium is 30%/70% Coco/Happy Frog. No additional nutes to date.

I planted 1 Seedsman NL Auto and 2 Advanced Seeds Somango Autos. The NL is doing great, but both of the somangos started flowering at only 3-5 weeks old. The first on that did it I broke a root on transplanting so I figured it was stress. The second one looked like it was doing fine so yesterday I transplanted it into its final pot. Today I came down and it too had started flowering!

So I'm wondering if this is familiar to anyone here. Is it genetics? Did I somehow stress both plants? And if so, is there something I'm doing wrong with my setup for autos? Other than the light it's how I've been growing for years and I don't usually run into too many issues I can't handle these days.

3-5 weeks is sort of the normal for autos. I would recommend having your auto's transplanted before day 10. Auto's have a fast seeking tap root that grows strait down and will limit the size of your plant if it hits bottom to early.

Thanks, I didn't realize it would be that quick. I'll have to work on getting my grow dialed in better with the next round of Autos. The NL is filling out nicely but the somangos are awful small. I'm guessing my delayed transplant stunted their growth.

All the autos ive done have taken about 90-100 days to finish.... I like my flowers very ripe though.
