is a female showing sex early linked to any other traits?

[Jaqen H'gar]

I have seen it mentioned that early flowering males are often used for breeding as they often reduce flowering time in the offspring.

Its also generally accepted that males tend to show first.

I have 18 plants growing currently and the first one to show a few days ago was a female (at @ 4 weeks), then 4/5 males over the next few days, the rest haven't showed yet.

Which got me wondering if there are any traits that are known to be connected to a female showing sex this early?

Possibly auto flowering...

Early flowering isnt necessarily associated with a fast finish. Especially when considering equatorial varieties.

I noticed my plants that show in veg are more branchy
than the siblings from the same parents that don't show in veg.

The plants that don't show in veg are more columnar in flower.

No difference in flavor or perceived potency, or yield for that matter.

Still working a cross and haven't selected for early flowering.

Its possible but not a given; you'd have to grow out and observe many offspring to nail it down. In an interview with Duke Diamond of Bros. Grimm he spoke of gene linking in the case of two different alleles located next to each other on the chromosome both carrying over to the next generation, although it seems it's a case by case basis. Once you observe that two traits go hand in hand in can be quite helpful; say something like a certain type of leaf serration (observable early on) being linked to potency or finishing time, which you wouldn't know until the end.
