My plants started to flower way to early

[sik2006]

I live in Cali, the wather is great! I put my plants out (green house)3 weeks ago, and i started to notice that they are budding already. The sun gets up here around 6am now and they get decent 13 hours of light now, so i don't understand. Could it be because its still a bit to cold for them and they're freaking out? The most important question, does anyone know if they will bounce back? stop flowering and go back to their regular cycle. I'd hate to lose them, they got pretty big, about 2F long so far. Any advice?? Thanks

Where in cali you live man? Socal? The flowering cycle starts when it becomes 12/12 so I don't really know what to tell you. I don't think it's the cold. If they have already started budding I don't think they can go back to veg. But I don't know much so best to get somewhere more experienced give you advice.

most plants that are mature or clones do not need 12 hours of darkness to start flowering which is why your plants started to flower, you could of added a light inside the green house on a timer to extend the day just a couple more hours and they would still be in a veg state but 10 -11 hours of dark period is long enough to trigger flowering for most strains.
they will probably reveg but it will take a while and you will have some weird growth with some 1 and 3 bladed fan leaves.

Thank you guys!
What i endup doing was moving the really big ones indide. I set up a nice fall room with 1000W high preassure sodium and got them on 12-12. i just hope they did not start to revert already haha but they look like they are still flowering. I left the small ones outside to let the nateure take it's course, will see...
Do you think i did the right thing or no? i want to minimize the risk of herms and i will have some outdoor projects going on, so i can't allowe to have any herms around. So i was thinking to just flower what i can, have some resoults in two months and in the worse case i will not have any budding females around yet.
