Got a Ganja question

Hey guys I'm not an educated Ganja cultivator so I have a couple questions about my few plants.
I'm growing 2 strains atm "Granddaddy Purple and Wild Zamal".
I was really hoping to find some Auto Flower strains but I've been highly unsuccessful in this endeavor so this is all I have to work with atm.
 This plant seems to have started flowering a week or 2 ago but I never hanged anything to cause this to happen so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to why this is happening and I was also wondering if anyone could tell whether in was male or female? I remember sexing a plant has something to do with the tiny hairs at the base of a stem or leaf attached to the main stem somehow but I can't remember what the noticeable difference was so I was hoping someone here could fill me in.
 Here are some pics of my others in that area so I was hoping these might be clear enough to be sexed so I can know what I need to do with them.
I'm sorry for my ignorance with this plant but I've kind of always been afraid to be around these plants so I've never really learned about them from first hand experience e.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you guys for viewing my thread

Pot is photoreactive like roses. It starts flowering outdoors around July 15 outdoors. All five pics at the top are female. It's a hair early to tell on the bottom pics. How ya doing buddy?!

Basically female plants have hairs at the nodes and males have balls. They look pretty different.

Can't wait to smoke on this baby
Thanks guys I'll keep you all updated on it's progress
BTW I heard Wild Zamal was a harder strain to fruit and all of my plants are exactly the same age and have been under the exact same conditions 16-8 under CRL 6500K lights without any change what so ever.
How could this happen to this one plant and all the others still be in vegetative growth?

first set of pics is female, the second set looks like its probably female(or maybe a hermaphrodite) except for the third from the left, which i suspect is the beginning of a male flower cluster. I'm not sure what would cause your plants to flower if you haven't changed the light cycle. every plant is different, but 12 on 12 off is a good rule of thumb to begin flowering. Grand Daddy is a good strain, one of my favorites. make sure to cut back on nitrogen during flowering, and keep those lights as close as you can without burning the plants. also, don't forget micro nutes, manganese, magnesium and calcium are important. Good Luck!
PS. youre gonna need a pocket microscope or a jewelers loupe or something so you can check the trichomes when it comes time to harvest. shits cheap on ebay. you wanna harvest that grandaddy when the trichomes are mostly filled and and about half turned from clear/white to amber if you want that good couchlock.
curing is maybe the most important part. you pretty much want to cure as slow as possible without molding for the smooth, kind, taste. maybe i'll write up a tek

Hey guys thanks for the help
I have a couple questions though "If you guys don't mind"
1. Do you guys think that what I'm working with atm with my 4' CFL tubes?
2. How well my lights allow my plants to Flower?
3. If my 4' CFLs will work well what type of CFL lights will work better for flowering? Like what K or light strength would work best for CFLs?
4. Also if I just cut back on the time the lights are running throughout the day?
If the CFLs won't work well what type of lights would?

CFLs will not make fat nor dense buds. You definitely need to invest in better lighting unless you want to grow mini plants.

Without going into specifics you have to take into account genetics, latitude, and artificial lighting schemes. Experience is your best guide here, don't bet on a date unless that has shown to work for you in the past.
The second set of pics don't have clear sex signs yet.
CFLs are ok for veg but they won't let you reach your full potential. 6500k is best for cfl. You should get a HPS bulb, maybe a 400 watt, it depends on how big an area your trying to light up.
You could cut back lighting but your better off not to.
You've got some leaves that are curling a tiny bit, if those were my plants I'd take a second look at what's up with that. Some of your tips are burnt too, something happened or is happening that is not optimal.
Your plant should not be flowering under 16/8, something isn't right, but more info is needed.
