? bout lighting in fl

ok i live in FL and it seems that my plants are only 6-7 inches and have already showed their sex (luckily both turned out to be females) is this because of the lighting in FL right now bc im experimenting im growing and seeing how well they will grow during autom-winter bc it only gets down to 55degrees but they started showing sex at 3mnths is this because of the light period?

so the ?'s are why have my plants showed their sex so early? &
wil the period of light and temp make them show their sex earlier? & one more for the hell of it.
will them showing their sex early affect how much they will produce considering they are only 6-7" inches tall?

Re: ? bout lighting in fl

Yes, that's correct. East Florida here. Even in a remote place, in Florida, we can only get 12 hours of direct sunlight during fall/winter. So as soon as they're mature enough to bud, they probably will start developing pistils.

The advantage in Florida, is that everything is flat so it's DIRECT sunlight for the entire daytime. Also, the temperatures don't go too low, and when they do it's not for very long. Except last year, lol, I remember it was like 28F here and I had to run to the store and buy lights to put my plants inside. Terrible. And I already heard that tomorrow is going to be in like, mid 60's to 70's across the state. Weird.

And so yea, I'm really high so I might seem like I ramble. Peace.

EDIT: Sorry, so stoned I forgot to answer 2nd question.

Yes, it will because it didn't give your plants enough time to veg. You may have a bit fatter buds, but in the long run, the 1/2ft - 1ft you missed out on is going to cost a bit at harvest time.
