It has appeared as my skywalker haze autos have slipped into flower despite being but an inch tall@ 27 days old. Do I just shit can them or transplant and hope for the best?
Is it possible they will revert back to veg or am I screwed?

I’d probably just leave that as a solo cup grow for shits and giggles and start some new seeds.

You can’t reveg an auto. They flower as soon as they become sexually mature.

You can always grow it for the joint or two you’ll get. But it may not be worth the effort.

Hey @jorkvilleyoe ,
Looking at your plants I want to make a comment about your process.
Just from what you posted I think you could adjust your process for more success.
Autos will begin to flower as early as 3 weeks. Typically 3 to 5 is what I find.
So leaving them in a solo cup for 4 weeks (27 days) is a sure way to stunt them.
Because the roots are seeking space and are restricted by the small cup the plant will adjust and grow smaller. Once it determines how much root space it has it grows accordingly. So you have to get autos into a roomy planter pot early on. I wont leave autos in a solo cup beyond 2 weeks. In fact I don’t put the seeds in solos anymore but directly into the 3 gallon pot it will stay in. I think what happens is we are waiting for the plant to get to a certain size before transplanting, but the plant has determined(by whatever mechanism it uses) that it has no root space to grow big so it stays small.

It’s weird though because you usually transition once the leaves touch the sides, so you’d assume this bud could stay in the cup for a bit longer by those guidelines.

I know right, it seems like a great plan.
But it seems that once it knows its in a small container it quits growing bigger. Catch 22
Autos need to be planted in final home early.

Well truth be told the only reason they aren’t already in their five gallon pots is the nutrient amendments I ordered way back in early June just arrived and the soil had only been cooking for 3 days now. So much for prime……
My go to plan b was to layer my cooking soil with some happy frog to buy me a week or two but get them into their final homes. I was intending to do this in two more days.
In a way this may be a blessing. I have some soil I just took 5 plants out of and I’ll reuse it on these premature misfits as I pop 5-7 more seeds and the soil cooks properly for a total of 3-4 weeks more.
Not going to sweat it, just learn from it and move on……
It’s a journey , learning all this.

Gas is almost 6 dollars a gallon, how do you suppose flex drivers are supposed to make money with gas that expensive? Im suprised Amazon is able to get any packages out. The 2 day delivery model was built on the premise that there would be enough freelance deivers to accomodate.

Where I live the usps is tasked with delivering Amazon products so you and I are actually paying for delivery insufficiency and inefficiency through our tax dollars. It’s no secret the usps has been an epic net loss for years and bezos is sitting pretty.
A fine example of indirect subsidies disguised as a service.
But that’s not what we’re here for so I’m going to exercise a little restraint and stick to the topic for which this forum is meant to serve.
