Zkittlez auto...end week 9....no sign of flowers or am I missing? Nudge into flowering or just leave the beast alone

[564xxl]

Ok Zkittlez auto germinated 1April. Daily feed
3 litres currently .. millers A,B current with some Epson salt (after mag. issue in week 4-5) and just a touch of molasses as old habits die hard and I like the smell . Indoor. Temp set at 24 and down to 16 after dark. These photos taken outside just for photo. Currently 20/4 light dark cycle
She ( god I hope) doesn't seem to want to go to flower...
Do I force ( couple of days in dark), nudge with say a 12/12 cycle or just leave her alone
Last photo shows pot size. Coco coir and perlite mix .... and a home built contraption I use to separate buds which ordinarily works well
Over to wiser heads
Oh you can see 5 week younger cousin in front in last photo
And .... thanks
PS don't care about yield that much as long as I get some

Unless the plants are getting too big, I would take as much veg as I can get with an auto.

I've heard stories of people buying autos but getting photos instead. Putting it in 12/12 light would probably make it flower, but I think I'd wait till later in the outdoor growing season--maybe after the summer solstice. I'm guessing it might be better, however, to let it grow and flower in the fall. One way or the other, it will flower... eventually.

At 9 and 5 weeks with no signs of flowers, I'm thinking you got photos by mistake. 9 weeks for an auto without flowering is waaaay outside of normal. Even the 5 week plant should be showing signs of flowering. A few ways to handle it, you could force the issue and put them on 12/12 light, but if they are photos, unless you want to flower them at that size, you'll have to re-veg them, which takes time. You could just let them grow and see what happens, if they don't flower until fall, then you know they're photo's. They're real nice looking plants, but I'm not sure if that pot size will carry them through until fall.

I should have pointed out I am in Melbourne Australia and it's winter here now ...
But in any case I am leaning the same way ... let her grow
Thanks

Yeah... I bought 10 zkittlez seedlings but I agree all 3 ( there is a 3rd that 3 weeks old) are behaving like photos) so I will treat them as photos . Yeah... pot size was for auto so will have to see how they continue and up the pots or increase feeds to twice daily
Thanks for feedback
Will post updates in a few weeks
