My plant isn't flowering, or started flowering too early. Why?

For photoperiod plants:

  • Not flowering? Check your light schedule. Photoperiod strains need 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness to trigger flowering. Any light leak during the dark period can prevent it.
  • Flowering too early? The plant may have been exposed to long dark periods too soon, or it experienced stress that triggered early flowering.

For autoflowers:

  • Autoflowers flower on their own timeline regardless of light. If they flower very early, the plant may have been stressed (transplant shock, overwatering) which stunted its growth phase.

Send us photos and your light schedule. We'll help figure it out.
