Autoflower budding early?

I overwatered this plant (but have since held back and it has come back nicely) but today I noticed pistils coming out of the top and a few other areas of this plant, it's a purple cheese automatic. I have another plant an auto bubbleicious that is also showing pistils and it hasn't been stressed at all, this is week 4 of their grows. Are they flowering too early? I have had them in a grow tent with an 18/6 cycle with a 600w MH on them. Temps have been as high as 90 at times, but usually are at 78-85. Humidity was at 30% but I have remedied that and humidity is now at 40-50%

Three weeks is about right for most autos. I prefer photos too but I got a dinafem auto widow freebie and threw it in for shits and I'm pretty impressed. Started flowering at 22 days and is just about finished (I'm at 66 from sprout). Looks like only a few more days :)

IF you want any tip i suggest you put them on a 20/4 light cycle if you want a bigger yeld .. Next time you do auto START and FINISH with 20/4 light cycle ... They need a lot more light because they are doing all their processed in half of the time ... but they still need those 4dark hour because it's a plant and it's not supposed to be under light for 24 hour. And if you have the possibilities try growing them with coco . i found that the plant grow a little bit bigger with coco medium. For the temperature ... 85 is a little high with the light you got ... you should keep it 78MAX during day and 77-70Max during dark.

Those are probably not the best way to grow but it works perfectly fine with me !

Hope everything goes well and have a good one buddy!
 
Thanks for all the help. This is definitely the last auto flowering grow I will ever do. This is also my first grow, all 4 are auto's and I have them in a 50/50 mix of Ocean Forest and Happy frog.
I haven't given them any nutes because the soil is so hot as it is, I am going to wait until next week, and give them some nutes, but now it looks like I will be using some flowering nutes instead of veg.
These plants aren't big enough to be flowering yet, the stalks just aren't built up to hold a decent yield.
Next time I will be using some feminized, but definitely not auto's.
This is all for my brother with medical problems anyway, and I am going to try to talk him into turning them into some cannacaps instead of smoking.

Use a vaporizer for medical it's really the best way to take med. MJ. and look to get a strain with a high content of CBD to use for a medical problem!

Good luck man!

The good news for your bro is that autos usually have much more cbd than their photo counterparts because of the ruderalis genetics - necessary to create the autoflowering trait. Recreationals usually see that as a negative because it also means less thc. That and the reduced yield and you can see why many people are down on autos.
 
I got the sour amnesia, bubbleicious, bomb, and purple cheese. All automatics, they have all budded on exactly the same day. All are not that tall, with the tallest being maybe a foot, the shortest being probably 7 inches.
I have had a fan on them the entire time, but the auto bombs stalk isnt strong enough to support a lot of bud, but I don't think these are going to produce much, probably an ounce a plant at most.
Tomorrow I start them on a 12/12 with my HPS light, and next week they will get some tiger bloom nutes.
I have to say, I am thoroughly unimpressed with these autos. I would prefer to have my plants 2ft tall so I could top them then start the flowering phase when I wanted.
