I think my auto is not an auto

Hello Farmers! I have a question here. I have two batches going. Feminized and autoflower. Both Jack herer. So my question is my feminized are doing fantastic switch them to 12:to 12 they’re doing great. They’re in separate tents due to the lighting needs. Now I planted my autoflower on September 10 th. Today’s date is November 9th It’s been roughly 8 weeks since germination She is a monster. She has not even shown any sides of starting to bud. There are pistols forming see pictures. Is it possible it’s not an autoflower. I just stuck it in today the 12 12 tent. This thing is going to be huge she’s healthy as hell. Any info would be great see pics below.

Some autos can take as long as 12-14 weeks to start flowering, but with her showing pistil’s IMO she is a auto. Just keep an eye on her if she starts to get to tall you may want to do some LST on her.

Should I take her out of the 12:12 tent?

No I would leave her in the 12/12 tent, autos don’t care if it is 20/4,18/6 or 12/12 they do there own thing

I’ve had that same condition. Sometimes they get the Photoperiod gene and have to go to 12/12. I’ve also seen plenty folks on this forum run into this same condition. 12/12 seems to fix that.

She’s throwing pistils. Unless my eyes are that bad, then she is making her transition into flower. Some autos can talk a while, though. Some not so long. The fastest one I’ve had started throung pistils at 13 days. Full flower by 21 days. Slowest was about 7 weeks.

Add/edit… all feminized, auto or photoperiod, should begin flower transition, when they are mature enough, on 12/12. Key word should.
