Preflowers at 3 weeks?

I have 4 babies growing of different strains. Three are doing great. One is doing something strange. It's an autoflower feminized Short Rider that believe it or not is making preflowers 3 weeks into growing. They are all in the 'vegetation room' under the typical grow lights that I have been using successfully for quite a while. All are in Fox Farm Ocean soil being fed the suggested regimen of nutes. So..I have a question (or else what would I be doing here????). Can I nip off the preflowers and continue to go through the growing process with this precocious lady or should I just toss it. I hate to waste time, room, and nutes on something that isn't going to produce for me.
Any suggestions??

Autoflower means it will flower under any light schedule. It's doing what it's meant to do: BUD!

Just leave it be. Keep it happy (under any light schedule) and you'll have a little mini-harvest before your regular crop is ready.

I get that its supposed to be an autoflower under any light..but it's only a baby..barely 8 inches tall! I grow my plants to about 4 1/2 feet high before I kill 'em. So that doesn't explain this weirdness.

Somebody here posted a 6" auto flowering..I'm not a fan of em.

I'm not a fan of them either.

If you don't want to fuck with it in your grow room, just put it in a windowsil. It'll just keep right on flowering.

Weed is weed right? Chucking a flowering plant is chucking bud, am I correct?
It may be smaller than your others, but sometimes its what happens. if you want it to produce, let it produce for you.

Keep it and Grow Grow Grow.
