Julie (Internet): I'm growing outdoors and some of the clones seem a bit retarded, as the buds have formed on the stalk. I had heard you said to go ahead and remove them to hopefully re-grow til the end of the season. My question is how to remove them - there is no stem to snip off at the base of the bud, they are coming straight out of the stalk. I've not seen this before. They are pretty small but very sticky. What should I do?
Ed: There are three reasons why plants may start to flower early. The first is that the plants were placed outdoors while there was still a dark period long enough to force flowering. The second cause might be that there was a dramatic change in the lighting environment. The third is that the plants are receiving a critical amount of darkness that is enough to force the variety to flower.
