I think you misunderstand what flowering is & when it’s supposed to happen.
Your in veg stage just out of seedling stage
Flowering takes place once a plant is mature & the lights change to allow 12hrs of darkness.
You don’t want a small plant flowering otherwise it wouldn’t produce much.
Most will veg for at least four weeks before changing the lights change to 12/12.
Even if you stuck it under 12/12 now it would take about 4 weeks till the plant was mature enough to start flowering
I don’t suggest putting a small plant straight into 12/12 unless it was a sativa landrace allbeit some do its best to kiss atm.
Keep the lights on 18 on & 6 hrs off & veg the plant till it’s big enough to put into flower.
If your outside witch you might be the plant won’t flower till the lights change to allow 12hrs of darkness
The plants actually look ok.
They do look like they had a hard start yes but there looking good & the new growth looks fine.
I do believe you have been overwatering hence the slow growth.
Are you growing outside or inside
If your growing inside how close is the light ( it maybe to close ) and what’s the humid

hi
Even automatics need to be mature before flowering.
It’s a shame they are that as you won’t have long left before it does start flowering.

These breeders need a kick up the ass with there automatics are beginner friendly droll they are not at all.
One mistake and your yield ends up being naff
Even experienced growers can have problems with autos.
Photo periods are much more friendly
However if you’re outside & can’t control the dark/light period then I can understand why you might pick one.
Still they aren’t beginner friendly.

Oh well nice to meet you bud
Hope it ends up good for you
