I assume that as long as you keep giving her some light she will keep stacking. I have never grown in direct light or anything, but it has to be better than too early, right?

I'm fine by letting her grow further but i just don't want to lose her :/ that would be a shame, how do you usually grow?
I don't think that you'll lose the plant at this point. She is still getting at least 7 hours of direct light, and probably a few more of indirect, right? I bet a lot of folks who grow outdoor finish at pretty damn short hours sometimes.
I am currently learning on indoor only. I'd love to do up a greenhouse one day.

Yeah i set up my Greenhouse a few days ago. Nothing fancy just a small one.
Can't keep it cool. Temps going up to 50°c so that's why she's in this room
Idk how to go about cooling it down unless i open the door fully

no she doesn't look prone to hermies bro, I reckon 2 weeks man, allow it to swell/fill up and mature.
just that I find plants that flower a lot longer than they should have a bit more of a chance to hermie, in my personal experience. every scenario/plant is different though, i'd just keep an eye but you'd probably be fine my man.

Okay, i'll take some pics from the Windows tomorrow so you can see what i'm dealing with.
I guess it's time to pop the next one in the soil and start working out a way to keep my Greenhouse tent cool

Def no chop. I have a buddy with a haze plant flowering 12 weeks now. Your leaves are all really green yet. Need too wait till it looks like you can pluck a nug off plant and stick in your bowl.

Oh okay she's Looking very nice though :o :) do you think that the fact that she gets like shade levels of light half the day will ruin her?
The sun turns around the house at about 15h 15h30
Then it's a much lower light level.
Will she survive that?

To be honest bud, I don’t know autos at all, but as I understand it, you can grow auto’s under 12, 18 or 24 Hr light cycles, not sure on less, please take your advice from the guys that are experienced with autos! I wouldn’t want to give my opinion on it and cause you any problems!

But that is a nice looking plant, please don’t chop her early! As everyone has already said! lol.

I think that it's less than 8 hours of light that causes problems. You would likely see rapid yellowing and all sorts of signs before she outright died. As long as she keeps green and turning up towards the light I think you're golden.

Think of it this way. If I’m growing an auto that I start in summer will the auto still survive when fall daylight hours are less than 12?

The only thing I think you’re losing is yield. And it May take longer to finish now.

Another vote for your plant isn’t even close yet.
