Plants havent hit puberty yet

I am growing 2 AK48's 2 ATA Tundras 1 Northern Lights and 3 Shortrider (auto)

Im growing in MN and i started them indoors in March so they are over 3 months old right now and none of them have shown sex, except i originally had 3 ak48's but one showed male sex and i collected pollen then killed him. this was around month two when they were still inside

none of the other plants have shown a calyx or a pollen sack. However the Northern Lights was a Fem seed so i already know the outcome of that plant

and whats even more puzzling is the 3 shortriders are autoflowers and are supposed to flower around day 60 and they have past day 90 now and still have yet to show sex.

i am very confused at the moment

other than this problem my grow is going quite well, the plants range from 2-3.5 feet and are doing fantastic

has anyone had anything similar to this happen? or anyone know whats up with them?

Are there any lights on when your timer is off? Maybee a timer light or a window not covered good enough.

a light would not affect the auto-flowers, they begin bloom after they reach a certain age. so something is definately wrong with them. and males tend to show sex before females outdoors because they will show sex after reaching a certain age. females sometimes wont until they begin flowering. i dont know what the season is like in MN but out here in cali i start seeing pre-flowers around the end of july to the beginning of august. and just because a seed is "feminized" doesnt mean it will always be a female. my buddy ordered a ten pack of "feminized" seeds and got 4 females, go figure.

when i buy seeds (not very often) i always make sure i order at least 5 of the same strain beens from a seed bank to ensure i get original breeder seeds and packaging, i've tried out the freebies ,pick n mix and all that bullshit and it just fucks with my grow every time! keep it simple and hope for the best :)
all the best i hope they do you proud :leaf:
