HELP! Flowering after 3 weeks of growth

[Fionagreen]

My plants are starting to flower, both male and female, after about 3 weeks of growth. Did this last year also. 18/6 light cycle. Can anyone tell me what is going on? Seed source is unknown. Light is florescent tube.

They are Autos! Autos start to flower at 3-5 weeks old even under 24/0/7 lights, some will finish as soon as 60 days some go 120 days or a bit more.

More light would probably prevent the early flower. My veg cycle is 22 on 2 off. And the 2 off is for maintenance, they're almost never in total darkness during veg.

Someone recently suggested that breaking your dark cycle in half with an hour in between keeps them from early flowering. You might try that.

Thanks Rwise. That makes sense. Dont know much about autos. Guess I'll be learning.

One of my autos started stretching and flowering right after and it all started at week, my other 3 of the same strain waited until week 5.

LOL, a year ago I did not either

Autos are usually feminized. There shouldn't be any males in there

We can certainly get "regular" Auto seed,,,,not all are feminized
