Does this also apply to auto flowers that need to be forced into flower for some reason?
Yes, I have an autoflower that didn’t auto. Some don’t auto flower, hence are actually a photo, I have one right now actually the one to the right side, never flowered so I just topped it and I’ll bush it out for a scrog, also autos can run any light schedule from 12/12 to 24/0 i flowered under 24/0 on my last run with autos
Also clones off of a flowering plant are called monstercropping, I have 4 clones that have been reverted back to 18/16 to re-veg, lower survival rate over normal veg clones this is where they are at after about 35 days started with 9, 4 survived and I’m more than happy with that lol the growth is all funky in monstercropped clones at the beginning, it eventually normalizes
