buds forming early

[plantdude]

Yeah I suppose so consistent sunny days in Vancouver don't kick in until the first week of June but this year has been the worst I've seen.
For instance , yesterday high of 24c sunny, today high of 18c as an example and cloudy ..

Well that's the problem right there, you're using Celsius - that always makes the temps sound lower Just kidding.
Man, what I would do a 24C day right now... 36C (97F) here right now,

Here are two plants of the same type grown side by side. One is in a slightly smaller pot than the other. Guess which one is flowering early?

The slightly bigger one, on the left, also has some air holes stabbed into it. That might be a factor as well. I might get nuts later and pull them out of their pots to look at the roots. I will post them if I do.

@Radagast What size are the pots?

@Radagast What size are the pots?

Gosh I've forgotten now.. about 2 gallon I estimate roughly.
The one on the right says "no. 2 pot" if that helps..

@Radagast I have some 2 gallon pots around the house so i was thinking of using those. I am kinda glad to hear that smaller pots can be reason of early flowering but I'm curious though what that means? Shorter growrth period? Smaller plants? Weaker plants?

I would not attribute early budding simply to being in a pot. I have not seen that.

These images from my 2017 grow demonstrate that the potted plant (even in a roughly 1 gallon pot) grows to about 2/3 the height with leaves about 2/3 the size, compared to the same variety grown in the field.
