My plant is sexually mature but...

[tha_green_ghost]

My plant is sexually mature but it is nowhere near flowering season (growing outdoors)

Now, I know I have early development of preflowers that look more towards the female side but they have no white hairs. They've been there for a while already, and I was just wondering if this had anything to do with the season. Is this normal until flowering has started?

Either way, I can't wait 'till they bloom...this baby has a pretty good amount of grow shoots. Thnx

I'm a beginner but I know there is a debated 3rd type of cannabis called Rudaralis? as opposed to Sativa and Indica that has an auto-flowering trait. Is that what you were asking?

I believe what you are seeing is preflowers, they will continue to show up as the plant grows. when the light cycle is right (daylight vs. night) it will start to flower.
I am only familiar growing indoors, but have seen plants with preflowers for 2 months+ before the light cycle is changed and the only problem then is if the cabinet is big enough to hold her..........

Keep an eye on it and be sure the pre-flower is female, then let nature take it's course.....Good Luck.

good to hear your plant is doing well......dont forget to mulch, it helps out TONS in this texas heat.

cool...what would be the best/easiest mulch to use?
I know there are certain things that may "burn" a cannabis plant, correct?

i havent heard of a mulch burning a plant so i cant give info on that. at the garden center where i work we sell pine bark mulch that does pretty well.

you could also use black plastic mulch if your worried about your plants getting burned.
