I started my two girls (a Bruce Banner and an unknown Sativa) April 1, with the intent to move them fully outdoors the end of May. They each have 5 nodes, with only 3 leaves on each branch(?). The problem is, they all started pre flowering this week. Do I just scrap them or continue as planned? What are the chances I get more than one flower? Any ideas what I should expect? Thanks!
Early pre flowering

Show pics. Is your light timer off? Did you accidentally receive auto flowers instead of photos?

if their say 5 days into 12 12 just throw them, outside because its veg time right now outdoors or is in my area. ive had plants come back from being iover a week in to flower or so and theyll look retarded with 5 and 3 pointed leaves but will grow just takes a long as time to re veg
Pre flowering happens in veg, just keep vegging them until you're ready to put them outside. Pics will help us give you more information.

One of the few times I was here and not high! LOL mostly I'm right where you are
They are autos
The light is on 18 and off 6. Be warned they are extremely leggy. I had some lighting issues at first.

It is all due to lack of appropriate lighting regardless if autoflower.
No lateral growth - Lanky
Autoflowers - once they start preflower , it is what it is. So if you didn’t get it to veg out / set up a good growth and structure ( short time to do this ) before it transitions then you get something that looks like those .
Best get your grow space in order before starting new plants otherwise it’s a waste of time and effort.

You got those under a 20w bulb? That light is really weak
Yeah, I know my grow space sucks- it’s the back of the toilet in my kids bathroom! I’m a newly and hobbyist only. I just thought they’d be big and beautiful before I accidentally ruined them.
If I can get it to veg out now, will it improve my harvest? How much bud do you think I can possibly get?
Put her a kitchen scale and weigh it saturated. Let it dryback about 10% and slowly water it a much as you can daily. Air humidity should be higher too.
I would pull the four leaves yellowing at the bottom.

Uhm. What ever will grow I guess? 2 tiny colas? You can't reveg an auto. It's flowering now and theres nothing to do but either let it flower or take them down.
If you just cut them and start over id recommend a real light and using photoperiod fem seeds. If you have a yard with lots of light, just start your seeds indoors, and bring them outside.
Keep it under veg conditions, under low light you need higher EC to force more nutrient into less water uptake; raise temps. Steady EC and Ph, get it drinking with environment control. Go all out and take leaf surface temperatures and check your VPD.

None of that will veg an autoflower. If it wants to flower, it's time to flower. No revegging, no fixing mistakes, and no redos.
Thanks for your response! Why a photoperiod fem seed?

If it's a stable genetic line you don't have to worry about males sneaking in your grow, or hermies. You can veg them for as long as you want, and they won't flower until either you decide they should flower or the daylight hours decide.
When they start flowering you have to steer them. Stable genetics are a Liberal pipe dream. Are you muslim?
