Autoflowers not flowering

[guitar_65riff]

Can anyone please advise me.
i am growing my first auto flower. A ‘BigBud’

it has grown pretty big and seems to have taken its time doing it as it is now 112 days old.
it has pistals all the way down and it’s getting sticky. Plus the smell is quite strong.
however, it has looked like this for about 3weeks now and doesn’t seem to be doing anything more.
she’s on 18/6
And usually around 19 degrees in the day
Lower at night
Humidity around 65

Id be glad of any advice since i don’t know what else to do and i don’t think she looks very well.

Things do seem to move in slow motion during ripening.

There is huge variability in time to autoflower, and you got ahold of a very slow one.
My record is 19 weeks to harvest, and it looks like you might take even longer.

I think you just need to wait.

Thanks for that. Makes me feel better! Does the cold temperature hold them back do you think?
does she look ok?

They look good to me.
Low temp can slow things down.

Ah right! Trouble is, if iput a heater in her tent the humidity goes up. Really cold and damp here now in UK.
I have her in 18/6. Should I change to 12/12 or wouldn't that help?

Something's wrong.
When temperature rises (and no extra moisture is added), humidity goes down.
For example, when I raise the temp inside my tent from 70 to 78 the humidity falls at least 15%.
I use as many as 4 humidifiers to keep humidity in the 60s.

The buds need a few more weeks.
Flipping to 12-12 would do nothing except deprive the plants of needed energy.

Right thank you for helping. I appreciate your time
I shall miss her when she's finished lol
Being a first timer it's all fascinating and a bit scary! I even talk to her. My husband calls her Bob (Cockney rhyming slang)

It's depressing when we think there's something wrong with our plants.
And it's human nature to worry about non-existent problems.
You are likely to have a successful grow.

Thank you. I hope so. It’s been a long time.
i noticed that the leaves have gone a very dark green. Is that usual too?

 

[Simplicio]

When leaves get too dark green, it's a sign of over-feeding (too much N in particular).
Over-feeding stunts growth and reduces yield.
The feeding goal is to feed just enough to insure maximum health, then maximum yield will follow.
This means feeding much less than the greedy nute pushers recommend.
I never go above 450 ppm, but feed charts sometimes go up to 1200.
