Is this photo plant starting to flower? No light change...

So I have only grown outdoor the past 2 seasons, and this year wanted to get a jump on the season so I started some seeds a few months ago to make sure I had time to sex them and not end up with a bunch of males likes last year, long story short these plants have been under 18-6 since sprouting, the one in question was topped a few times and is obviously female, but lately has done some serious stacking and is now crowning with many pistils... can a photo start flowering without a light cycle shortening?

It must have some auto genes or fast flowering in her

Some Cultivars may start to flower if they have the roots restricted. Maybe try a bigger pot if you wanna stop the flowering.

Thanks! I don't think it is majorly cramped or anything, went from.solo cup to 3 gal to the one it's in now is prob 7 gallon, had Intended to put her outside in the ground in about a.month and a half, (would of been a first, previous outdoor runs had been in 5-15 gallons)... now.im.in a.predicament, I have 2 Autos going in there now that are roughly 5 weeks in flower, and another photo bound for the great outdoors but it was only started.like a month ago... I don't think I have sufficient lighting to flower her in the space I have now... what should I do? Sacrifice the other plants and let her do her thing, or sacrifice the work I have put in on her and take a couple clones and chop her down? Any advice, I have roughly 2 100watt leds going in my roughly 2.5x3.5 foot space,. There are some bigger holes near the bottom.of her pot and I can see soil but not really any roots trying to.come.out of the bottom

Not sure how long time you have until you can plant outside, But maybe take some huge clones so not so much work is lost and have them under 24/7 light until you can let them outside.
I would still be a bit suspicious since she seems to be stressed easily and might herm on you if she gets more stressed.
Make sure to get her used to the environment outside gradually.

And I have never started indoor for long periods of time and moved outdoors, wouldn't the plants going from getting 18 hours a day inside to roughly 14 hours a day outside also stimulate them to flower and then them actually reveg because of putting outside? Should I slowly reduce the amount of light on time inside down to closer to what they would actually be getting outside before I put them.out for the year? Or would hardening them to the outdoors over a week or 2 do that?

That's the problem they will reveg. Really all you need for outside is start some beans in a couple weeks and grow them till you can put outside in may that way they will get huge by growing in ground. I'm in North East so same times to be putting outside and harvest before October and rains and cold comes.

So I would be better off taking a couple.clones of her and just trying to.let the giant mother finish her ride indoors the rest of the time it will take? Since she started flowering under 18-6, should I reduce the hours of light she gets to guarantee she keeps flowering or let her ride on 18/6 and hope for the best

Yea I would definitely do that with clones the big one if it's flowering already might as well and would think have to anyways.
