Do you know that it's an autoflowering strain or did the seed distributor seem dubious in any way?
If this were a photoperiod strain, I'd recommend a transplant at this point. However, I never like to transplant autoflowers because it may shock the plant right as they flower.

Which breeder?
I just hit a serious dab a few mins ago..
And started to think.. if that were a photoperiod.. I would try to air layer the stalk at the top, where i’d be able to bend the plant like a rainbow & top the plant right above the roots.. strip a few nearby nodes so I can bury the new roots at the top of the plant into another pot of soil.
It’d probably turn out to be humongous. I’m going to do another dab now.

Lol you got this brother hang in there you may get a jackpot out of this.
It's a photo plant...meaning when it gets enough darkness it will switch to flower.
I recommend repotting into a much larger pot and bracing that tree to something...the house, a long stake, etc. It will get a lot bigger still!
If you share what region you are in someone can tell you when to expect it to start flowering.

This is the description of the plant in general it says it grows quite small - Auto Alpajarrena is an Indica-dominant
autoflowering plant whose progenitor originated in the Granada region. It is a tough plant that can survive harsh weather and settings, and it was developed at an elevation of 1000 metres. Auto Alpajarrena is a little plant that grows to a height of 40 to 100 cm

Auto Alpujarreña (Pyramid Seeds) feminized
Auto Alpujarreña by Pyramid Seeds had been bred in the high altitudes in the mountains of Grenada which made her an exceptionally resistant plant which is especially suitable for outdoor grows. She grows without much fuss, tastes great and delivers a fantastic relaxing high. Auto Alpujarreña is...
"The hardy plant also grows quite strong branches so she can withstand wind and weather quite easily. With a height of only 40-100cm on average, this Indica dominant strain can also be a perfect stealth plant or be grown when space is really tight."
that plant is at least 150 cm already, and they usually stretch a fair bit when they start flower....i think you may have gotten a mislabeled seed, or at least one they dropped into the wrong little counting tray.
it does look like a pretty healthy specimen, though, grow it out, take a couple of clones just in case it turns out to be fire

Is it really even an option to clone the plant if it ends up actually autoflowering? I know that the plant is a late bloomer, but there is still a possibility that it could flower in the next two weeks.
I think that the OP should be patient for the next two weeks. I did some reading about autoflowers, and apparently they can take up to twelve weeks to show their stuff.
I'm not sure how reliable they really are. They might have mislabeled the seeds, which is common in the industry.
You seem to have a healthy plant, which is great. It might still be an autoflowering plant, so I don't believe that transplanting is a wise option. Since you seem to be using a fabric pot, you could cheat and put it on top of or into another planter with potting soil. The roots would just grow through the fabric, allowing the plant to reach a greater potential without shocking a possible autoflower.
