pistols on week 4 of veg? why?

So i have two plants in a grow box. i have had them on 18/6 light using 5000 lumens. Im only in week 4 of veg and one of mine is sprouting pistols already. Why and how is this happening. WHERE DID THIS COME FROM? it has a total of six pistols. two on three branches or nodes. I have put the ladies outside during prime sun hours about four total times in four weeks could the sun have made my plant flower early. no joke there is pistols and its only in fourth week of VEG....whats wrong

How many nodes does it have? I think around the 6th node it starts to show it sex. I am almost positive.
 
so will they go away or is it going to start budding cause if its gonna start budding should i switch that plant to 12/12 lighting?

No, they wont go away. How big is your plant? You said its 4 weeks old? It's hard to say, I'd have to see what it looks like.

Like I said before, some times it just happens.. you can't really do anything about it. Don't know if that's the answer you're looking for, but I believe that is the answer you'll get from anyone else.

Yeah dude, it's normal.
It's not flowering, those are just preflowers because your plant has reached sexual maturity and it is letting you know she's a lady.

Enjoy ;)

do some reasearch.. this question is no offence really newbish.

Its obviously showing sex... and you can keep it going in veg for 10 years if you want. It will only start FLOWERING when u switch to 12/12.
 
i had the same happen to me and with all the reading i did bout it its perfectly normal, they are showing signs of maturity and at 8inches you could start to flower although id wait a while if i was you,i didnt flower till the were 18inches,but its just down to preference or how desperate you are to reap your rewards!!!!!!!!!!!lol
