Need some help with my plant!

Hey everyone. I live in the UK and Ive been growing an Early Misty plant outside from seed since August 19th. I had a bigger grow goin on in the summer but it never worked out and all the plants died. So I had a seed left and I just planted it anyway. Now its on its third grow tip and to me it looks like a female. Ill post a picture as soon as I can. But im lookin at the last grow tip, you can see like a grayish color on it. What is this? Is this signs of budding? Ive heard talk about autoflowering, is Early Misty a strain that autoflowers? Or has this plant been planted too late to have any chance of bud? Any advice would be great, thx
