Hello so I'm growing outdoor in az in soil .I started my plant lil to early it's about 2 months now I noticed it starting to preflower to early we recently started haveing 13.5 hours sunlight my plant kinda.stopped growing and producing white hairs on all bud sights. Did it stop growing due to preflower and will it switch back to veg and how long will it take
Also I trimmed all huge fan leaves.due to blocking.the sun please advise

There are plenty of things can cause early flowering. On top of that, it looks kind of pale

Tell us about her.

How often are you watering and how much? Thos pots look dry in the picture. If you insert your finger an inch and it's dry, you can water them again.

Are you feeding them something? what and how often?

How is the temperature at night? Do they sleep inside or outside? (sorry not familiar with Az)

Last, but.. are you sure they aren't autoflowering?

PS: I wouldn't trim it, the sun is pretty powerful. Depending on how much you trimmed it may have stressed out and start flowering

It's hard to tell what's going, on as far as pre-flowering is concerned, from the pictures.
Trimming fan leaves is more of an indoor thing, the sun is very powerful so there is not as much need to worry about light penetrating to the inside when growing outdoors. Trimming fan leaves can also shock the plant, shock can sometimes induce pre-flower.

If your plant was started outside under natural light cycles, then it is normal for plants to show sex at this time of year, meaning you will see a tiny calyx (or pollen sack)appear at the spot the where the leaf/branch meets the stem, that is normal, what you don't want to see is a cluster of calyxes(or pollen sacks), that's pre-flower.
If it is pre-flowering and was started under artificial light using longer than current natural light cycles, it may take a while to stop flowering depending on how far into flower it is, but it will eventually pull out as the days get longer.
If it was started under natural light cycles then it is probably just showing its sex and it will be fine.

A good way of determining if a plant is truly going into pre-flower is to pay attention to the finger count of the leaves coming out. So say you have seven finger leaves coming out, look at the new sets of leaves coming out, if the new leaves forming at the very tips are all five and/or three finger leaves, then your plant is pre-flowering, if they finger count of the new leaves coming out is holding steady, or preferably increasing, then your plant is not flowering.
Descending finger count = flowering, increasing finger count = veg.
