Secondary grow tips instead of gonads

[quill]

I am growing nine plants of third generation Satori outdoors, using my second batch of homemade seeds. (So if you call the original pack of seeds F1s these would be F3s.) Today they are exactly three months old. Four of the plants developed normal pre-flowers (2 male 2 female) about three or four weeks ago. The other five are very slowly sprouting a second grow tip from where one would expect the pre-flowers to emerge and I see no evidence of gender anywhere on the plants. These five are perhaps a bit bigger and bushier than the others, though all plants are happy and vigorous.

Neither the original seeds or my first batch had this problem iirc.

I presume that some of you more experienced growers have seen this before. Is there a chance that they will outgrow this weirdness as fall approaches?

Well it seems like your plants are growing slow? I usually see sex at week 7-8...not 2-3 months. Perhaps its genetic...or your environment.

I had one plant that did this once. Never showed sex ever.
