clones flowering?

We put clones out 1 month ago cause they were root bound and we had no space under a light. They are in 30 gallon geo's only about 4 feet tall but are double that around and have multiple side branching. Should we just leave them be and hope they snap out of it? could i get something high in N and foilar feed? i see a nice warming trend and nothing but sunny weather in the forecast. We have a light dep. GH going and can possibly cram them in there but the bags are probly 200 + pounds after watering. Thanks

consider this a learning experience...

depending on you Lat, early may is to soon for Indica dom clones in nor cal... indica plants can begin flowering with as little as 9 or so hours of nightime darkness... to put indica clones out that early you have to add supplimental light. Seed plants or sativas can go outside earlier but typically I like to wait until late may or early june for clones at my Lat.

there really is nothing you can do at this point, you just have to wait for the days to continue to get longer and the plants to grow out of it, though revegging will make your plants look mutated and have lower yields... it is what it is, try not to do it again next year.

also being rootbound sometimes exacerbate the problem of "auto" flowering early... you could light dep them... but I bet by now they are about half way into their reveg... so it's sorta a toss up

You should have had supplemental lighting on them for the month of may. Next time have some CFL bulbs on a timer over them that turn on for an hour in the middle of the night, say 1-2am.

The plants are going to be a mess if they re-veg.... extremely leafy. If I were you I would throw them inside under 12-12 or into your light dep and just let them finish flowering...live and learn

I would put them in the dep and start with fresh stock for the full term. 30 gallon is nothing, I've moved 50's and 65's around on cart no problem.

its fake that they will be leafy after re-veg... if they fully re-veg than grow a month or two than flower (again lol) the quality will be totally the same like without the early flowering and the plants can be even more bushy than without the early flowering.

yep we fucked up, there was only so much space in the veg. room and the plants needed a transplant they were root bound. They are Phantom cuts from King Klone. Cherry Pie X GDP....

yeah but most plants start flowering normally around mid july - mid august... so by the time the plants reveg and get past that weird mutant stage they wont have anytime left to grow normal and put on many budsites with normal structure...

it is definitely not fake that having your plants bloom on you early in the spring affects your final yield (you basically waste a month and a half to two months of summer veg time)... if you're growing indoor it only costs time and electricity, outside is a different story.
