If you put it outside now it's probably pre flowers I'm just guessing based on the location of the picture.
Yes came in the cbd hemp flower that i ordered from a cbd hemp farm in oregon. The bud it came from was sungrown in 2021. so im thinking it was a photoperiod female seed. didnt think it would be showing sex already.
So does that mean its going to start flowering soon? It just seems weird to me because my other plant that i planted from seed outside at the end of February and has been growing for 9 weeks still hasnt shown its sex yet. but then i plant this one from seed outside at the beginning of this month and its already showing sex at only the start of the week 4. the day time hours was shorter in February than it is now. Thats why i was wondering if it could be an autoflower.

I don't know where you are in the world but here in VA if you put a plant out before it gets 14.5 hours of sunlight a day you run the risk of it flowering. Once it gets 14.5 hours of sun it will reveg and start throwing single bladed leaves for a bit. Then usually it just goes about it's business but it does throw it off for a few weeks. It's not an auto flower, it just thinks it's fall because of the amount of light it's getting so it flowers like it's the fall. I'm not sure on the other one, it could be the genetic makeup or just when you planted it.
Im growing outdoors in Hawaii. We dont ever get 14.5 of daylight here because we’re so close to the equator, our longest day of the year is on June 21st which will give us around 13.5 hours of daylight. Is it possible that this one will remain vegetative even though its showing its sex? just like how the other one is still in its veg stage?

Now that presents a quandary. What are the exact genetics and I'll see what I can find out.

Know your seasons bruddah. It could be auto flower. Oregon loaded with hermie autos.
If it's not, your in short season heading into long season. It will try flowering till mid to late may. If its too much indica will finish larfy and stretch. If there is not enough sativa it will likely do weird single leaf growth trying to revert to veg but not really getting there and in July go into flower again.
You want a bigger plant then bring em inside or have a porch light with a timer. I grew up and grew a lot on Big I. Most modern mainland strains are like auto flowers in the islands. Soon as you put em out they start flowering.

Check out the outdoor forum, I just saw there's a Hawaii growers thread there. I'm sure you will get way better answers there that pertain exactly to what you're dealing with. Sounds like you deal with a short flowering season and a long veg season but those guys can square you away for sure. It would be nice to grow a couple tall sativa's just for fun down there under that long growing season. I'm sure it will work out for you.

That's just a little pre-flower. When autos start flowering they are popping up at every bud site especially the upper ones. I've had pre-flowers start earlier than that or even not at all until flipped so unless you see lots more showing up in the next few days it's not an auto. The autos I'm going to be running outside again this year started to bud smaller than that but got almost 3ft tall at the end. Max daylight here at 56N is 20 hours for July and Aug then snowing in Sept. so need autos outside or get squat.

Rajah. When does the long season start? And when would put your plants outside. I always start my seeds in the beginning of March. I Try to grow mostly sativas and i never had a plant show pre-flowers so early. They usually veg until July and harvest by mid to late September.
For example, my other plant i planted from seed at the end of February is still vegging. she’ll probably start to flower sometime in July. Like all my other grows. I plant around the same time every year. thats why this one that started pre-flower tripped me out. first time this happened for me.
Yes thats what i was gonna do, just watch it for the next couple weeks and see if it starts making bud sites. if not, then its not an auto and its just showing sex early? My only main concern is that every year i main-line my plants for atleast 16 tops. for example my other plant i planted at the end of february is already topped for 16 tops in a 5 gallon, and gonna transplant again into a 20 gallon soon. now im just gonna let her grow out until she flowers. I dont want to do that to this one if its an auto. I would just LST this one because i heard you shouldnt top them that much. Thats my only main concern. Also ive never grew an auto before.That's just a little pre-flower. When autos start flowering they are popping up at every bud site especially the upper ones.

Autos can pre-flower a bit but usually once they start showing hairs they'll start popping up all over real quick. They really like long days tho as the root of their auto-ness is from their ruderalis genes and ruderalis evolved to grow in the far north in Siberia so do pretty well up my way. The original ruderalis was discovered back in the 1930s but it potential to create autoflowering pot plants wasn't discovered until the 90s I believe. A lot of junk crosses turned a lot of people, myself included, off of them but some fine pot can be grown from them these days. They will be a lot smaller but rival many photoperiod plants in potency. Originally very low in THC but rich in CBD they were selectively bred to reverse those traits but now more are coming out with a high CBD profile and little THC.
The first ruderalis around back then was LowRyder and I've grown some of those. Will not impress! The next iteration was LowRyder2 and is often use to create crosses with it's high THC cousins.
The two autos I grew last summer up front. The middle one is an unrelated CBD auto. Fan leaves removed just prior to cropping the next day on Sept 11.
You should know in a week.
