hi guys my plant is 8 weeks old. it has been in a premature flowering phase for 10 days. I believe due to lights on during the dark hours. in your opinion, will I be able to get something out of it while still waiting, or has she become a hermaphrodite? ITS OUTDOOR GROWING andLSt

The reason it is in pre flower and not advancing is because you cut all of the large leaves off! Those wonderful large leaves were making the bulk of the plants energy requirements and without them she is struggling to grow. The little bud leaves can not in any way make enough energy for fat bud growth, only enough for basic survival. There is no indication it has turned hermaphrodite and the fact it is outside has no bearing on this plants condition. All you can do now is to let her struggle slowly to maturation, which may be another 4-8 weeks away still. I would also be removing/loosening the wire tie so that you don't end up strangling her too. In future, just remember - less leaves = less energy being made = less growth or to put it another way - maximum amount of leaves = maximum energy production = maximum growth (and fastest growth too!) Hope this helps, Organoman.

I don't see anything that says male at the moment with those images. Light during dark not good, it looks small enough to put in a closet for its dark hours if you can't control the light. A controlled environment makes all the difference. Good Luck.

If you're growing outdoors, you're saving electricity cost. I say let it go, just watch it everyday, if it starts to develop any type of Male characteristics, relocate and destroy that thing. Best of luck with your grow! 🌿⚗️🔥😵
