Exactly, this mirrors my experience starting that handful of years ago. It's getting 'worse'. I wonder what, if any, role climate change may be playing in this. I mean, spring *is* coming earlier and earlier every year. But with photoperiodic plants those ideas get confusing.

I have noticed this also here in southern California. But it's interesting only two of the three strains I'm growing are doing this. And all are same age clones, all went out at the same time and are in same soil/feed.
