Jump starting flowering by going 12/12 then go back to 24/0?

So to start off.. My first grow has been quite a bumpy ride... Im growing 2 x Auto OG Kush by Seedstockers...

First problem that arised was my light didnt work for 2 weeks from around week 5.. bought a cheap light that kept them alive for that time.

Then when I got my lighting working, they seemed to be stuck in preflower, so I switched to 12/12 around week 7..

Had to move them (3 hours in a car, wrapped in plastic bags to conceal).

They are now 2 months and 10 days old, been in flower for a week with 12/12. Huge plants, I have a 180x80cm tent and they are almost at the lights.

Can I switch to 24/0 like I was doing for the first 7 weeks? Is it an auto seed gone wrong and its photo, or was it the stress you think?

Are they flowering?

If they are 10weeks old and didn't flower, probably not Autos
Yes they are just starting to form buds, I guess im just uncertain because of all the stress I have caused them..
contact the company and let threm know, they need to know to let the breeder know. im surprised that bob never told you to do so, this is a site to help growers and breeders alike
Yes I will do that.

( Just my opinion ) but I'm not so sure that you don't have an auto....It just seems that you haven't been giving it consistent light....Any auto will flower.... But it needs light to do so....I suppose my only concern along with other's that gave their insight is that you started to see flowering after a consistent 12/12 cycle....I mean you can either reach out to that breeder or you can try 18/6 with your remaining seeds assuming you have extras... But in my opinion it's kind of rude to address a breeder about their seeds if you knowingly had issues during the growing process....I would assume they would tell you exactly what your breeder pack states with included language...So I do ( Respectfully ) disagree with anyone telling you to reach out due to your known issues while growing their product....(Side Note) Use common sense while growing. Nothing grows in improper environments. Not even your finger nails if you aren't healthy daily.

You don't have much choice but to leave them on 12/12. You flipped to flower and don't know if they truly aren't autoflowers. You may have coincidentally flipped when they were about to flower on their own.
