What to do with this crazy lady?

So here I am on day 35 of my indoor soil grow. I have 7 White Widow a couple of days from being flipped to 12/12. All have shown their sex and they are all female.
Everything is cool except for their sister who, well....I still don't know what she is. I bought 7 feminized WW. Could she be a sativa dominate WW opposed to her 6 indica dominate sisters? Either way, she's doing what she wants. She started to flower on day 20! She is growing 1-2" each day even though my air cooled 1000w MH lamp is only 15" from her head. I have decided to concentrate on the 6 uniform plants (11-14") but I want to do whatever I can to control her and keep her healthy.

Can I top her? Should I just let her grow and see what happens? What would you do? Looking for a few opinions.
Thanks

I had a crop that got fucked up by a male on accident. It was not cool at all but if I are sure its a female. Then by all means. But if its a dude kill it.

That lady seems to have an auto flower gene.

I would not top it, it looks like it is to late. Usually its advised to top before the plant starts flowering.

Everything is looking pretty good.

i had one femenized seed plant growing like this with similar type of structure once and it turned out to be a hermie.. im not saying plants cant look like this im just saying the others i had diddnt look like that at all and the problemplant did. but that doesnt mean this is one will. still very different from its sisters indeed, if the stretch becomes problem for you i can think of 3 options;

1: LST - you can tie down the plant forcing the taller brancher down, this can even be made to get you any shape you want if you do it nicely and gently over time, but it seems you dont have too much time one your hards so.. :D

2 : Supercrop the taller braches - im unsure what effect it will have for the plant. you will definitely get it in whatever hight you want, but the risk is chacking the plant and making it so that the plant itself is wasted since most of the light it absorbs goes to recovering rather than growing and developing. However i am just speculating in the subject since i myself dont have experience with supercropping. Alas i once broke of a top in mid flower of one plant and fied it with duct-tejp... the plant still yielded very good and the breach was healed when i harvested. Supercropping is definitely worth looking into, it could work for all i know, read some topics/guide about it to make yourself a decent picture of the issue. just take not that supercropping is not recommended for all strains!!

3 : just cut the top of - this will stunt the plant for sure but it wont die, and you will still get buds from it. how much stunt it will get is imossible to say since every plant is unique :). but count on big variation like 10-90% crop loss possibility. this is the worst opption in my oppinion.

Good luck with this problem mate :). hopefully it will sort itself out and you will end up with nothing but dankness ^_^.

i agree with him, but the strech imo is a bit.. not nice :). but yes it could just be it has some ruderalis genes. its a good explenation. i should have thought of that ^^... well time for another hit

Correct...she just took off. I was hoping she would stop growing as the light got closer. I think I will just let her go and hope for the best. If she doesn't like the light she may slow vertical growth, but I'm flipping to 12/12 tomorrow so...blast off?

Time will tell...

I was also going to say that it could end up a hermie, but it doesn't look like it will. Usually a hermie would have shown signs of male and female parts by now.

Just keep a close eye on her. She looks good.

Keep your eye on it. I had a few crops of WW fem, and in one crop, two plants shot up just like that and turned out to be hermie.

Just monitor it for subtleties.

Well I got worried about the hermie threat so I snapped a couple pics of her hairs. I don't see any balls. Hopefully someone can confirm calyx and pistils?
This is my very first grow so I need some second opinions!

Its def a sativa dom whatever it is......I would watch any fem for hermans that one for sure and that one will be easy there's nothing on it compared to the others....fwiw the node spacing seems oddly wide even for a sativa
