The seller I bought my gorilla glue auto seeds from told me to run at 12/12 for 7 to 10 days then back to 18/6 since they never went into flowering after 7 weeks. Should I make the switch back or will it put put it back into a vegetation?

Back to 18/6 is fine. It will not revert to veg.
sound like you don't have auto's at all if you had to flower at 12 / 12, it's either an auto flower or not and to flower at 12 / 12 say's it a photoperiod. Breeder could have been aiming for auto's but it look like they have missed the mark. I would say they have not done their job properly and tested the seeds or even back crossed to lock in the auto flowering genetics... pollen chucker for sure.
If they are only flowering at 12 /1 2 then then they are photo and not auto's so if you go back to 18 / 6 chances are that you will be re-veg them so I would stay at 12 / 12 until the finish
how many seeds was it dude ?

I suppose I am an anomaly because the few times I've had to jump start at 12/12, then back to an autoflower lighting schedule, all was fine.
In all my time growing auto's (4yrs... ha) I've never had to jump start one yet... I've had photo auto crosses where half turned auto and the other half photo but I was fully aware of the cross and was expecting them to go one way or another.
You may find you have something similar but the auto gene is strong enough that the flowering continues at 18 / 6 once you have jumped stared them but you should never have to do that if the breeder is doing there job... may ask which breeders you have used for this to happen?
I would be getting on to that breeder / breeders and leaving a review to warn people of what has happened... If you have a full journal on the seeds we at AFN we would love a review on the company / strain then others will be warned if they wish to spend there money
They were gorilla glue from fast buds, I did 12/12 for 8 days and switched back to 18/6 and my flowers are growing nicely almost doubling in days
funny you say that GG by fast buds is the one auto's I have grown out the most, 4 times I think, must have gone through about 30 seeds... not once did this happen to me, 100% success rate on germ and flowering (got a verity of pheno's). It's been at least 18 month since I have grown GG by FB but I'm a little shocked to hear that these seeds are FB. That's the first for them... normally I would have said that this shouldn't happen with FB.
