i had that shit happen to me also. i have Short Rider beaners from Nirvana and they are suppose to be autoflower, well she dint start flowering till i put her in 12/12. she is now over 75 daze old. this strain sux ass..
Just thought I'd let you know that I had two AF Fems from Nirvana, Bubblelicious and Jock Horror. Both got beautiful and bushy with absolutely no flowers. I just switched to a 12/12 cycle but I doubt at 6 weeks that these will flower at all. I've also switched to the 'HPS flower light' in an effort to get these pretty plants to bloom but I think it's wasted effort.

Nirvana is sending me replacement seeds. It's something in the genetics that is messed up and they're the first ones to admit is. The trouble is that I've wasted time money and effort and LOTS of Foxfarm dirt that really shouldn't be used again. I'll let you know if these get any blooms on them, but I doubt it will happen.

I think I know one thing about this and that is that...

Autoflower determine when to flower based on how deep the root is into the ground. so a shallow pot will never flower. idk if it is OK to transfer a say 5 week old auto into a deeper pot to let it flower in there.

auto has nothing to do with pot size. it will flower in a cup or a 50 gal rez. in a small pot they wont griow much once roots hit the bottom is about all but has nothing to do with flowering or not
