Outdoor plants are flowering in July?

  1. My (Outdoor plants in soil ) are going into the floweringstage and we're not even into the month of August yet. I live on the eastcoast, USAwhere plants usually don't start to flower until the middle of September. Itcould be one of 2 things, climate change or the fact that I listened to the guyat the hydro store and have been adding GH (Koolbloom liquid) during the vegstage. I'm thinking it's the Koolbloom 0-10-10, the high levels of Phosphorus& Potassium have forced the flowering.
    I told the person at the hydro store that it's suppose toget added at the first sign of flowering. He told me I should be adding smallamounts now during veg stage and slowly increase the amount so it gets built upin the soil and plants themselves.
    What can I do to bring them back to the veg stage? The onlything I can think of is to totally stop the Koolbloom and any other nutrientadditive that has even small amounts of Phosphorus or Potassium. And, startthrowing a lot of nitrogen at them to flip them back into veg.
    Any advice would be helpful.

  2. Adding or removing fertilizer has no effect on starting or stopping flowering. Not all plants start in sept., early varieties can start in late July or early Aug. The length of the photoperiod is the only determining factor for flower initiation. Outside you cannot stop this without additional lighting to lengthen the daylength. Inside you can use a light cycle greater than 18 hrs to keep a plant in the vegetative state. You should be happy to have an early cultivar, you should easily finish before a hard freeze.

    Hey Pointswest, thanx for getting back to me.
    Yes, I know how the photoperiod works, been doing this since the Columbian Gold days. I'm use to keeping it real simple and totally organic. I basically only use soil amendments, the 5 piece Earth juice line, some coconut water and Blackstrap unsulphured molasses. This was my first time stepping out of my comfort zone and using a bloom enhancer.
    I've never had any strain flower the 2nd wk of July like this. Shit, they're just babies, a little over 7 wks old. If I wanted something that was going to flower in 7 or 8 wks I would have went with an auto type. Looks like you could be right though after reading this https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/dutch-passion-seeds-frisian-dew/prod_547.html
    I didn't see this information on the site I ordered from. I don't understand this line though " The Dutch Passion Frisian Dew takes up to seven weeks to get the first flowers popping up between quite small leaves. " They're describing it as if it's an auto.
    Anyway, I have Blue God, Bubble gum, Pandora's box and the Frisian Dew going this year and the Frisian Dew is the only one flowering early so I guess it is just a strain thing. What a shame though, yield wise, it would have been nice to have the extra 6 wks of veg.
    I've never had a problem with a hard freeze yet, but mold can be a real nightmare around here when the Sept and Oct fall rains kick in. That's why I wanted to try the FD, it's suppose to be mold resistant. I guess their idea of mold resistant could just be making sure the plants finish early before the rainy seasons begins.


    Any thoughts are welcome
