fastbuds GSC = NOT AUTOFLOWERING?

[thedailydose]

hey everyone. hoping someone can chime in and check out my solo cup plant that is not AUTOFLOWERING...

- here she is standing @ 25 1/2" tall and not budding at all..

- she showed pre flower on day 32

- 18/6 light sharing the tent with 3 other plants

- 2nd bean from a 5pack fastbuds GSC (2for1deal from HDSC)

-----

1) was thinking of transplanting her to a 1gal container and just letting her grow? this would add about 60+/- more days of veg if i decide to go this route.

i can then flip the lights to 12/12 (when other plants are harvested) and see if she turns into a monster

2) i could also split my lights and move her to the 2x2x55" tent and see what happens but i wouldnt have an active exhaust..

3) can i give her 12/12 time then back to 18/6 tent when she start budding? or do i have to stay @ 12/12 seeing that she might be a photo..

any help/input would be appreciated.. thanks for looking!

12 / 12 it and flower it out

If you think its gonna hit your light when it starts stretching in flower . Slowly over DAYS pull the top over to the side and don't snap it off when you do.

I'm growing a Critical + 2.0 right now and I'd say we're in the same boat. Few issues early on, ran her under 20/4, she showed pistils so thought all was good but she didn't want to flower. Put her into 12/12, she stretched big time, took over my tent and is now flowering. I think her genetics were a little messed up from the get go, I call her my Frankenplant lol, just feeding/watering and gonna see what I end up with....good luck.

thanks @dickfitzwell ! i went ahead and flipped her to 12/12 along with my attempt at supercropping / lst.

thanks @Eephus ! shes in her own tent 2x2 with 1 autocob and filled up the space after the lst spread. excited to see how big she gets in the upcoming weeks!

I'd go with option 4.. Which is to take a cut, root it, and grow it out again, this time as a photo period plant. If its a photo period, at that size, it will probably double in height/size.

Yeah, +1 you could take 5 or 6 clones in solo solo and then veg for a few weeks and flower them in a SOG. but this will be fun to watch too!

thanks for the input @Prophetiko and @low_and_slow !

i didnt even think about getting cuttings and starting clones..i was just surprised to get a photo when all i wanted to do was grow in a quick solo cup! i went ahead and went with option 2: transplant and into a new tent with a brand new fan and filter combo about 1 week ago.
now im just playing the waiting game and see what happens next

heres the link to the current grow if anyone is interested in seeing the progress:

Remember an autoflower flowers from maturity not a light change as a photo would.

If she is getting close to your light I would super crop if you can.
