Blooms mismatched with season?

[K-Sci]

Other than the bud dropping problem, I don't see a lot of cause for worry.

I had a bud dropping problem once due to a gas cooking range. Car exhaust and bbq grill fumes blowing in from a garage or outdoors or from a fireplace can cause buds to drop, as can a lot of smoke from marijuana or tobacco.

A draft at the roots from the cold air that falls down the face of window glass in freeing weather is another possible cause.

A single cycle of under watering while spikes are developing can also cause buds to drop. Over fertilizing is also a candidate for bud drop.

An insufficient day night temperature variation can slow plant growth (cause sulking), as can light levels that are sufficient, but on the low side. These can also cause bud loss.

A significant change in growing conditions can cause bud drop

Growth pausing in the winter with lower temperatures and light levels will also slow growth and can cause bud drop. We are only a few days from the shortest day of the year.

You will have to be the judge on which of the above may apply in your situation, if any. Sometimes buds seem to drop for no apparent reason.

Anecdotally (my own personal experience plus friends who grow under lights), I've found that many species aren't quite as tied to seasonal blooming cycles under lights as those grown with natural sunlight. Some species are also much more free blooming on mature plants with excellent care.
