Alright been putting plants in a hoop house for around a month and a half been buying various size clones and sticking em in there.... first set flowered on me as soon as I put them in the hoop house but revegged I just figured the grower who had them last had them on a 24/0 cycle. Now I have a another set I put in there nearly a month ago... and it's still not showing signs of reveg... It get's 8 hours of sun a day, there is an overhang that shades it the rest of the time but it's still more sun than moonlight on a full moon... I just don't know what's going on here. Any thoughts? They have been repotted a few days ago to a rich soil mix so I don't want to feed them a high N fertilizer quite yet. Medical grow located in north america, pacific northwest.

I apologize for my lack of eloquence and any typos. I am exhausted.

I had more Clones go into flower than I'd like to have had this year and we went out side about mid May. Even had a seedling go into flower. Most of them look to be going into mid re vegg and will be fine but some just look stuck in flowering and not really doing nothing. Hope they pull out of it. Still have a good month and a half of vegg time I would suppose.

I've got 4 clones that flowered early despite adjusting thier light schedule as best I could. I resorted to hanging a CFL over each plant a few days ago. Praying for some reveg!

Also I am member in about 5 forums. I have never seen so many early flowering problems this year. I put plants out before this time of year and even earlier with zero problems. Hmmmmm.

I only know one other outdoor grower in my area, I'll have to see if he is having the same issue. Thanks for the update though still frustrating but somehow relieving to know I am not the only one dealing with this...

cold nights? frost at start of june in my area
I highly highly highly doubt temps are a factor. The plants are located inside a hoop house which is closed at night. Possible but doubt temps are a big factor.

Stress by man or nature is to blame most times not unless it is a inherited gene from the Ruderalis family .
Most of my varieties are doing this so I am doubting ruderalis... I wish I knew what the factor was. Overcast weeks? It has been rainy...

do you have a digital humidistat that logs low/high? i got greenhouses and it surprises me the high and lows but gd luck figuring it out. last wk mine were 7 degrees at night. got snow in may this yr. last fall, winter and spring was 3wk late.

did u ever let the g.house get dry? that can also help trigger flowering

It's a very small hoop house, on dry days when all the vents are open it get's pretty dry in there. I didn't know a low RH could cause flowering though.

But as far as a humidistat... that's a good idea. For one I plan to erect 2 more small hoop houses. (urban grower need these babies out of sight) And I am curious as to some of the differences for each design... I really should get some monitoring equipment. Thanks for the idea!

no mine were outside for over a month and a half and never started flowering till about 2 weeks ago and now mine are starting to reveg. its probably going to fuck my harvest but we shall see. im just gonna let them finish and see what happens next.

So is this a west coast apparition? I am noticing a correlation....
i believe so. ive got a few buddies that put stuff out and are having the same issues regardless of plant size. all of which were put out at different times. kinda bums me out a bit actually. but im in southern cali so idk.

it has been rather different this year i had one go into flower in may once i put in ground and right now there showing sex and another one the leaves are spinning like there going into flower an really starting to show pre sex, not sure why it seems a little early. other than that there still growing and i plan to keep them growing for another month. Another thing is there getting pure nitrogen i really don't know how they did it lol

I would also like to add mine went to full flower to little nickel and dime sized buds along with even a stretch. At this point mine never did reveg. I think how far they go into flower is factor if they stunt your yield. Just a guess though. I put mine out in like late april early may in Oregon. I started over with new clones June 1st. I could not take the chance of stunted growth that early in the season.
