Might be wrong but looks alright to me, I've got 6 plants on the go at the mo, flipped to 12/12 57 days ago, I nearly chucked one out as it did nothing for about 40 days (admittedly, I did drop it) but now it's flowering like a bastard!

Auto flowering plants need more than the 12 hours of light.

You can give them 18 hours of light, and they flower. 12/12 slows them down. if im not mistaken.

Double check to be sure, but i believe autos require longer light schedules.

You are tring to rush nature if they are autos put them on 18/6 or 20/4 and let them do there thing. Trying to make a plant grow faster is like trying to make a 10 year old 12 years old over night you just can't do it

If its auto, why are you limiting light to 12 hours? Crank that shit up to 20 if you want it to grow faster, that's the whole point of autos. Let her rip man, let her rip.

autoflowering plant flower by time and you cant change that cycle by changing the light cycle.
This is the point of autoflowers -> light cycle changes don't affect them

Yeah, think OP is on the right path now. You have shown him the light. Apom, that's one of my favorite avatars, do you know where that Murray pic came from? I like his indie films and early stuff.
