Slow flowering?

Here is a link of my plants a few days ago, they are on day 12 of flowering, does it take a while for proper bud to start forming, i just have little single calyx's on the node on all 4 sides with 2 pistils coming out, on most of the upper branches, they have these pre-flowers mostly showing before i switched? is this normal

oh the mutant was male.

Yeah the mutants should live, I had a plant in my lowryder grow by accident I planted it in the same pot as another and both sprouted, rather than have to chuck one I carefully took her out and re-potted it, it grew really slow while the others were getting bigger and bigger and had curled and odd shaped leaves that looked like the bat signal so I called it batman and let it grow anyway.

Once the roots got steady she recovered and completely blew up, turned out female and got bigger than my other plants, she's my favourite one now, the other one that she sprouted with turned out male. Don't worry about slow flowering they will take off soon.
