I can't zoom in close enough but there appears to be pistils forming. This doesn't happen in my grows until after the stretch is done, usually week 6. I don't count the first week after seed has broken the surface. Yours have experienced some form of shock that has stunted them. I like to remove all variables for potential stress. If your going to continue outdoors you can still use a 5 gallon pot or dig out around 2 feet of soil and fill with good rich soil. No more time for this year though..This 7-9 week stuff the seed banks mention has never been the case for me, it's more like 12-16. Good luck

Looking like they are overwatered a little in my opinion. Of you have space, put some more in the ground and let these ones just go along for the ride. Whatever they produce, they produce.

I mean buds in 30 days ? Dat sounds like a really mutant plant. If they smell good, def' keep. Though...I think itz just early crown development rather than an actuall flowering phase.

Yeah, they are small but grow for the experience. Outdoors in the ground is not ideal conditions unless you prep soil better. In good soil and feed properly and environment they should be several feet tall by now

Are you limited in space? Just plant more if you want more, bu I wouldn't pull it out... you already invested 30 days. I don't think anything else would grow much better given the context. Looks like you replaced some top soil to help? May need to double down on that.. maybe dig out 2 feet or so and replace with some rich, nutritious soil or top dress more with something that needs to be regularly watered-in etc. She's a bit under-sized due to overall environment - even considering limitations of autoflowers. Their may be a ceiling related to your region's typical DLI this time of year, too. To get maximum growth you'd need to live somwhere that will provide mid to upper 30's DLI. You can google for regional maps that give averages per time of year. if it's a lower dli region, the best soil and best practices won't add up to much more. Light is the key. Training outside is a different animal than indoors. Maximize surface area exposed to light, but don't worrry about it being level. Beeing 1 or 500 feet further from the sun makes no difference, unlike artificial lighting.

I would say she is fine, no reason to pull her out. As the Pineapple Express F1 is an autoflower, she will still grow for up to 4 more weeks, even if the buds have started to form. To get the max-sized autoflowers outdoors, they have to be grown around the longest days (from may to july/august in western europe). But I would stop to train her. If you do not have to keep her close to the ground for security reasons, let her go upwards from now on.
