I had a similar problem with a late garlic planting for green garlic. Rather than form nice-sized green garlic stalks, the stems were thin and the garlic head began to quickly form as if they were trying to catch up to their sister garlics planted 4 months earlier. My understanding, is that it's the daylength.

I bought a lot of garlic bulbs today, to plant for garlic greens. I am very
happy to have learned of this. I am thinking these garlics can be planted
anytime throughout the season for just the greens, would this be true?
I did a second planting one year, and those were tough by the time they got big enough to harvest. I don't know whether this was something about the weather that time of year, or if it was a day-length factor. If the latter, they might only give good greens in the spring (and maybe again later in the fall, I don't know.) You might try some small plantings at various times of the year to see what happened.
Other people who grow these, have you tried them later in the year?
