Plants havent hit puberty yet

I am growing 2 AK48's 2 ATA Tundras 1 Northern Lights and 3 Shortrider (auto)

Im growing in MN and i started them indoors in March so they are over 3 months old right now and none of them have shown sex, except i originally had 3 ak48's but one showed male sex and i collected pollen then killed him. this was around month two when they were still inside

none of the other plants have shown a calyx or a pollen sack. However the Northern Lights was a Fem seed so i already know the outcome of that plant

and whats even more puzzling is the 3 shortriders are autoflowers and are supposed to flower around day 60 and they have past day 90 now and still have yet to show sex.

i am very confused at the moment

other than this problem my grow is going quite well, the plants range from 2-3.5 feet and are doing fantastic

has anyone had anything similar to this happen? or anyone know whats up with them?
 
they're planted outside right now, i just started them indoors in march since it was still winter and i wanted a head start
 
a light would not affect the auto-flowers, they begin bloom after they reach a certain age. so something is definately wrong with them. and males tend to show sex before females outdoors because they will show sex after reaching a certain age. females sometimes wont until they begin flowering. i dont know what the season is like in MN but out here in cali i start seeing pre-flowers around the end of july to the beginning of august. and just because a seed is "feminized" doesnt mean it will always be a female. my buddy ordered a ten pack of "feminized" seeds and got 4 females, go figure.
 
when i buy seeds (not very often) i always make sure i order at least 5 of the same strain beens from a seed bank to ensure i get original breeder seeds and packaging, i've tried out the freebies ,pick n mix and all that bullshit and it just fucks with my grow every time! keep it simple and hope for the best :)
all the best i hope they do you proud :leaf:
