I don't know why, but my Sensi Seeds' Super Skunk freebie is Fully starting to flower.
It was labeled as "feminized", not an AUTO, so i'm wondering what the fudge is going
on?> All my other plants are vegging-

It's not just showing a few pistils here and there, racemes run all the way down the plant now... looks like it will be some early smoke this season which only sucks because of the diminished yield.

The whole plant- about 12" tall @ this point

Did you start her indoors under 16 hours of light? I've had this happen from putting them outdoors a little too early and the shorter period of light outdoors can trigger early flower.

I noticed in their description that it was only for growing inside, at least on attitude. I always grow these plants outside also, so I completely understand. With this being said, maybe the reasoning for this is the natural daylight hours. This plant obviously flowers with more than 12/12 obviously. I'd watch it close to make sure it doesn't want to reveg as the days get longer. At some point you might want to consider covering it after 12-13 hours or cover it for a little in the morning so it doesn't reveg on you. good luck.

She was started outdoors, I'm hoping to harvest her without too many problems. She's behaving like an AUTO so maybe that's what they sent me (?)

Can you get a CFL or something on it to extend the time of light?

So much for my theory! I would guess either an auto or a variety that flowers around 15 hours daylight. The only one I ever had that did this continued to flower all summer and never reveged. It was an a Durban Poison that was labeled 'indoor' and grown outdoors. What Jimmer says sounds like best explanation to me.

some plants will flower with less hours of light like that.. everyone does 12 / 12 indoors simply because it's easy, and it works for every strain, but this doesn't mean that a plant will only flower if it receives 12 hours of darkness, many will flower if they receive a bit less of a dark period..
depending on how deep into flower it gets before the day light hours get longer with the beginning of summer, it may revert back to veg growth at some point.. but if it's flowering for too long before that point, it might continue to flower, even with the extended light hours..
your only option really is to find an alternative light source for it for a few hours a day to extend the light period long enough to revert it back to veg growth..

Nope, can't do anything except let nature take its' course.
Really hope she will continue flowering in June...
Hopefully she will be deep enough into bud to continue packing on the heat as Racerboy suggested-

Honestly it might be a good thing. You will now be flower during the time of year with higher UV UVB levels. Possibly triggering the plant to respond my producing more resin glands.Ed Rosenthal talks about it in one of his books.
