My outdoor AUTOs in soil/perlite are 10 cm (4 inch) tall, 30 day old, have 4-5 pair of leaves, and are FLOWERING. What the …. hell???!!! ---

It happens at times. Autos flower when ready. I have had them go to flower in 2 weeks and some as long as 8 weeks. ---

I’ve had them flower early an turn out to be a nice big plant. 4 to 6 weeks about the norm. Can run longer as @ painfree mention. Good luck with you’re auto ---

Any point in feeding them flowering nutes now? they are so small, will they get bigger during flowering? ---

It will stretch some but not a lot because of it’s already small. I would go ahead and plant more so when yours are finished your new plants will be starting flower. Here is one that started at 2 weeks and even though it doubled in size it’s still small. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/5/7/5729bdbd71034f7fd90869ab234e3890690ef669.jpeg) This one is same age. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/a/a/aa25a870d9122aa566e67702d122e2968a87d0c4.jpeg) ---

Plants look healthy I would definitely start feeding flowering nutes. Keep taking care of them . Good luck ---

Something probably just stunted it a little. Like mentioned autos prome to that. ---

You are actually in preflower, which will last about 2 weeks before full on bloom. 30 days from sprout to preflower is common, pictures would really help.
