I've never had an issue with them in the last 10 years that I've been using their lights. I've had 3 different models too, are you sure you didn't buy something used or a knock off?
Really? I've grown them after years of photos, and they were the easiest plant I've ever grown. It was like pellet smoker, set it and forget it. I didn't have any issues with them either. But I wasn't a beginner. I grew the in dirt, and ebb and flow. Hands down easiest plants to grow.
I do...

Absolutely agree. Autos are for beginners, or people who can't figure out photos. In my opinion auto's are for lazy people. Lower thc, lower yields. I'd you do autos, your best chance to optimize their growth in all aspects is to grow them using some form of hydroponics
They are showing their sex, not really flowering, more like setting up sites to flower. It could be an auto flower too, I ordered seeds and 3 were photo and 2 were auto, that was a pain in the ass grow lol
Genetics are #1 in regards to potency and quality. Next will be lighting. Your light isn't very powerful. You need to look for foot print, and umol output. Then your nutrients will be next. You have quite a mix of nutrients, in my opinion, using all that at one time is going to give you wild PH...
