Flowering randomly under 18/6

[Jakeboigrowdog]

Hey guys new on this forum, plants are about 3 weeks old. Been under 18/6 and one of them randomly started sprouting female pre flowers the other day. Not sure why. Temp is 79 and humidity is 49% good airflow I’m tent and light is about a foot away. If anyone has any experience or suggestions on what this may be please let’s me know.

Yeah obviously.... the question is why?? It’s under 18/6 and the other plant same seed same age isn’t showing sex. So that leads me to believe it isn’t auto flower

If it’s an auto it will continue to throw pistils and tops will be forming. As autos can flower under any light schedule.
BUT .... plants can begin to show sex when they are around 4 weeks old.......Normal.

it also can be strain specific.

Does it matter if it flowers now? Lst it. If it's an auto just flower it and veg the others.
If it's a problem, no sense in wasting time.

Ever since the original couple pistils it actually appears to not have made anymore. Could have just been showing sex then like you said. Thanks for the reply. I am just going to keep growing under 18/6 and see what happens
