Is this ruderalis?

Hey folks, gave a seed to a friend who grows outdoors, the seed was ordered online by a friend, so idr if it is feminized or auto flowering but it may have been designed for indoor growing. The whole time the plant has been going (about 2 months now, could be slightly over or under) it has looked a little different than others I've seen. Most of the leaflets have 3 or 1 blades, though some have 5 I think is the most I've noticed. The plant has also stayed pretty short over all and definitely compared to the other plants started at the same time. I think it may be due to the drops in temperatures over this spring that this plant as well as other random bag seed plants have been starting to flower only after a month of being outdoors. Anyways I'm including a pic of the strange plant, just wondering if it's ruderalis or a mutation of some sort or just whatever. Thanks y'all

I actually just found something else online mentioning charteristics of ruderalis plants, one being that they're auto flowering. That could explain everything but still hoping for a pair of experienced eyes to give me some sort of confirmation or denial of my suspicions. Also saw that ruderalis are low thc, so if this is anything ruderalis hopefully it is a hybrid with just the auto flowering trait of ruderalis

Can't be certain, but with my browsing of seed banks I've never seen a ruderail seed option by itself. However, ALL Autoflowers have been bread to gain the auto gene of the ruderail, and crossed with either indicas or sativas to gain other characteristics that are desired.

However, I can't tell you based on photos alone, but not sure if anyone can for that matter.

Whatever it is, It looks like it would taste like shit.

Thats what they call revegged. You put it outside when the daylight hours were short causing it to flower. Now the dayslight hours are getting longer causing it to revert back to vegetative growth. If its left outside it will flower again when the days get shorter towards the end of the summer

Auto-flower plants are indeed in part or total ruderalis. Ruderalis plants are indigenous to colder climates with very short grow seasons. In order to propagate they must grow and develop flowers very quickly. About 90 days or so. If you smoke a pure ruderalis it is not much different then smoking plain hemp...very little THC content. But when genetically mixed into a hybrid with either sativa or indica (or both)...the resulting strain will grow very quickly but have much more resinous trichomes...hence the auto-flowering distinction.

Nailed it.
OP just leave it alone.
It's already throwing off rounded leaves and it looks like the buds are starting to break apart a bit. That would be new veg branch growth up under there starting up. It's gonna fire off a bajillion branches and turn into a monster.

Shit so y'all are saying it was planted too early causing it to reveg now? The person taking care of it said he always plants them as early as he does and has never seen it start to flower like that until end of July, but he also isn't one who researches all the new information that's come out, he's more of an old school outdoor grower with "wisdom" developed by his lifestyle of gardening.

And that is what they call monster cropping.
