Can stress cause flowering?

[Bythesea]

Can water stress trigger cannabis plants to flower? My plant didn't get enough water, got stunted and yellow and now looks like its starting to flower 2 months early.

Indoor or outdoor

I might get shot down here but I believe yes is the answer, at least with my outdoor experience, I had 2 plants start flowering after I transplanted them one time and 3 others didn't... Another thing is some strains are more sensitive to light change than others.

These are outdoor plants, variety is Twilight Princess.

In autoflowers stress can induce flowering

This is a photoperiod strain.

How many days light hours are they getting at the moment and how old are they?

 

[bboyfromwayback]

Photos flower from less light, not stress. I’ve broken and damaged way too many plants in veg with no sign of flower until I changed the light schedule

Sprouted seeds went in the ground first week in April, I'm in central coast CA, right now the day length in 13+ hours and most days are cool. I have 2 plants of another variety which are still in vegetative state.

how about pics of the plant/s in question

Are the plants that are flowering getting less direct sunlight than the others?

that plant is not starting to flower, its full into flower

ok, great, so likely another 3-4 weeks in this stage before pulling them? I also noticed my other plants have just started to grow the pistils on the tips, again these are supposed to be photoperiod, the days are 13+hours of sunlight, but we've had a lot of fog this year.
