Inside & Outside comparison

[4maggio]

I've been doing this for 20 years, all indoors, all in south Florida, in a tent, mix of HID lighting and NOW 400w LED in a 2'x4' tent. Using simple PPK w Turface media, Jacks+Ca @ 600PPMS.

I've run a seed thru to harvest (OC5) and it looked great but only produced 3.5oz.
I usually get from other strains, 6-9oz which I was always happy with.
Her leaves looked 'hybrid' but somewhat sativa looking and she didn't grow tall. Kept waiting for the stretch which didn't really get much taller.

A month ago I gave a rooted OC5 clone to a friend along with a quart of NOVA Bloom and a formula for it.
She plopped that clone (there were 2 others, both look 'better' too) in a 5 gallon bucket but outside where it gets 9+ hours of direct sunlight, 25 days ago, April 1. I went there yesterday for moral support and to see progress. OC5, which is still a stout plant, has leaves that are very slim sativa looking leaves and is already budding nicely, terps are very strong. In 25 days in April

I wasn't expecting any buddage activity my comment to her was that 'they look better than anything I've ever grown'.

But how can they be blooming already?

#1 depending on your specific light cycle you could have went out too early and didn't have enough light, it should reveg but there is stress,
2, stress can make a plant flower depending,

So here's a similar story,
I was cloning a black truffle indica dominant,
Got a bunch of them but took one and threw it in my window, all other clones under lights are doin great, the one in the window with the real light is flowering, could be stress, could be the sun bc it's not time to go outside yet.
I'm not sure but it could be this.
These are just opinions of a potsmoker

Better thoughts/opinions than I can come up with.
But let me ask...
#1 depending on your specific light cycle you could have went out too early and didn't have enough light, it should reveg but there is stress,
2, stress can make a plant flower depending,

The cut was takin in veg maybe week 3-4.. the donor was at 18/6.. 400wLED ina 2x4' tent.
The cut was put ina cloner under 24w cool T5 to root and then put into direct sunlight.. stress
AAHA.. I see where you're going... so could/should/maybe go back into veg in a couple weeks or so until days start getting shorter and back into early bloom mode. Interesting.. I never would have concluded..

Thanks PS>>>
