You can flip them if you wish. Plant size could become an issue depending on strain, they like to explode after flip, generally doubling or even tripling in size.

Thanks bro.
You already got a great answer to this question, but I'd like to point out that not all strains show sex at all before going to flower. I've only run into a few over the years, but they do exist. These strains have to be put under a flower lighting cycle before they'll show.

@Renfro I wonder if when you grow outdoor plants if you can give them the flower nutrients whenever you think it’s ready or there’s an actual timeline for flower and nutrients for outdoor plants? So question is because it’s mother nature and not me controlling things, do I give The outdoor one flower nutrients in the fall or whenever??

What is the best way to get rid of aphids?? Jesus Christ I thought my outdoor plant was doing really fine until today I came home and noticed hundreds of them on my branches and the plant is in very early early stages of bud not really anything on it really just a few hairs what could I spray it with or clean it with so I can get rid of them?? @Renfro

Is that a lady bud in the first photo? If native lady bugs move onto a plant with aphids, they'll clean them up. Before spraying, check real close for lady bugs. They lay yellow eggs under the leaves and their larvae are funky little guys that eat aphids like machines. The adult lady bug will clean up bugs and leaves like a machine. Attached is a lady bug larva.

Definitely best to get some bugs that will eat them up, lady beetles / lady bugs. Nothing that will be effective as a spray should be used on mature plants.
It's common for outdoor plants to get aphids, they can do a lot of damage. So get your lady's ordered and hopefully they enjoy their meal.
Ants farm aphids so if you have ants nearby they should be dealt with (earlier woulda been better obviously).
Insecticidal soap can help.
Spinosad can be effective against aphids but repeated applications are required and it will not be good for your lady bugs if you have them.
Spraying off as many aphids as you can with water pressure will help a lot. Put some tangle foot around the base of the trunk to stop them from crawling up. If it gets full of dead aphids they can climb over the carcasses so you may need to reapply.
