Early flowering clones, to pull or not to pull?

Ugh, this is a first for me and I need some advice from outdoor growers who've dealt with this before. I had the dosidos clone vegging at my usual 16/8 cycle indoors and then placed it out in the norcal sun (no sup lighting) on may 30th, which I thought was late enough. Ive always waited until june 1st but two days early is damn near there...

So, I do have some replacement plants that are significantly smaller (but healthy in veg) at around 1' with one cola, the other option would be to wait out the dosidos and let it get back to veg. Ive dealt with this vefore indoors and the stress and lack of growth/vigor during this time will significantly hurt overall yields from what ive seen.

So here's the picture of the dosidos.. Doesnt look to far along and certain branches are showing more flowing sites then others.




So pull or not to pull? If not, than any ideas on what kind of time/effect this will have on the plants overall health.

This isn't an option you gave, but if your backups are smaller than that then I would pull the flowering ones and replace with big teens from a friend or Craigslist or wherever you can get them. Or double plant?

Word, Im giving it a week and I'll return with some replacements, double planting is an option, there only 65 gallon pots so two might be a tight squeeze...

If the plant looks to be reverting back quickly theb I might leave it but I just wanted to get some advice incase, it's not a big deal and will reveg fairly quickly..

Anyone had a clone do this and leave it to complete full term? I cant do the whole single blade leaf thing and the plant is looking mad dark green, too much N, no curling though..
 
I'd just cut off all the flowering shoots. Top the other ones.Wait a week or so see if she starts to grow again

In the meantime get your replacements up to size just in case
 
One of my sky lotus plants showed signs but quickly reverted and is now my biggest plant...but that was from too much Mn not a photoperiod thing, so perhaps if they quickly revert youre still good, but any stalling or further flowering juice those bitches

Yeah a bunch of mine seem to be flowering too! But they are all getting pretty big so I left them. They will take a bit to start revegging. A good sign of this is if you start seeing one to three leaves on new growth.
 
this happened to some plants I observed as well. i must not have gotten very deep in flower because for a while they continued to put out 5-7 bladed leaves, only now 3 weeks later did they go down 1s and 3s. i suppose they are truly "back in veg" now. glad the grower decided to keep them they look awesome now, despite the "setback" it looks like they will yeild plenty.
