They are only about a foot tall, Northeast, have been in the ground for about two weeks and it is only June. I am a third year newbie. The first year I had excellent success with White Rabbit, the second year my Bruce Banners were a bust. I don’t recall the others looking this thick and developing pistils this early.

You are in flower. Are these autos? Outside, I averaged about 18" with GSCE autos, but indoors they were about 3-3½ feet.

They are Extreme Feminized. We have had a lot of overcast and rainy days this spring. I wonder if there is anything I can do to fix this. Deadhead?

Is it me or the seeds? Is there a better source for seeds?

Its summer solstice so its maximum sunlight. They have to be autos. We see this pretty frequently. I dont think a cloudy day would trigger flowers. Looks nice and healthy.

Oh no, not at all. Thats why they are flowering this early. I thought you were asking that?

I just wanted to know if I did something wrong or if it was the seeds or if there is anything I can do to encourage them to grow bigger before they flower more. Someone on Reddit blamed my zone and suggested moving them to a greenhouse but I don’t see how that will help or change anything.

Oh heck no. Thats just auto. There’s some weird stuff with them sometimes. We have a grow off here where some farmers have plants flowering after 3 weeks or less. Color looks great. Keep doing what you’re doing. Do you have the lowdown or a post on whatchu got growing?

Shame you got auto’s when you ordered photoperiod . What letters does the container have on it.

Still pretty new to growing so hopefully not to dumb a question but I thought the length of daylight controlled the cycles so doesnt the extra sunlight screw them up?

Autos are a cross with a ruderalis plant. It will flower regardless of light cycle. No dumb questions at all. So you have 2 types.
Autos, that will flower quickly, regardless of light period.
Photos, require the shorter period of light, to trigger flowering, as the shorter fall days do in nature.

FP10? A few years ago I purchased White something (Widow?) and they were massive however, I suspect they were a mix of seeds because a couple of them were very different in color and leaf size. I’m sure accidents happen when you deal with this number of varieties.
That should be photoperiod.
I ordered Girl scout cookies extreme feminized and the bottle is labeled GSC FP10 I contacted customer service and they said it should be labeled GSE FP10.
What are your first letters to say what it is?
I know that has nothing to do with your situation but am curious. I sent a new message explaining this plus sent pictures to customer service but won’t hear back for a minute.
Yes, they are GSC FP10 I thought they were Girl Scout Cookies Extreme. I don’t know if there is a difference.
We will find out soon. When customer service gets back to me I will post answer here.
The plant in the picture has a couple of pale leaves (look a bit yellow). Feed with a liquid fertilizer a couple of times a week to stop this and give the plant more nutrients while it flowers.
