6 1/2 weeks. Not Flowering

First time grower. I'm growing some GSC autoflower from cropking seeds. Started in a light box for a week and the transplanted into promix in a 5 gallon pot into my backyard greenhouse.

I have done no training just wanted to see what an untouched plant would do. It's been 6 1/2 weeks since it emerged and is now about 4ft tall with no real signs of flowering. Is this normal? I was hoping to get some early bud by going autoflower but it is acting just like my photos (showing sex only)

Anyone have experience with GSC auto from crop king seeds?

Thanks for the reply. Here are some pictures, hope they help. Is 6-7 weeks a long time for autos? I was expecting a 2-3 month full life cycle
I feel for you. Unfortunately, my experience with Crop King Seeds has been rather unreliable. I'm on my first year of autos as well, so I'm not one to speak about them, but my understanding is that they should be flowering well beyond a couple of pistils by now (mine are).

Maybe @MrToad69 who works with autos extensively will have a look, and provide insight as to whether a 6-1/2 week old, 4' plant that isn't flowering could be auto or mistake.

Thanks, do you think it's a photo then? I have 2 photos going outside right now and was wondering if I should put this one out with them. It's getting too big for the greenhouse.

Will it still flower at 12/12? Or are you saying it won't flower at all?

I think its a photo considering it's not flowering yet, but as I said, I'm no auto expert.

It will definitely flower with lower light (12/12) no matter auto or photo. That I can promise you. When that process starts for you, I can not say. All depends on hours of light per day, plus other factors.

If you're worried about it getting too tall, research "super cropping".

I have grown 3 strains of autos and have never had one go 6 weeks without stretching and showing flower. So I think it’s photoperiod. But I don’t consider myself an expert, just my $.02
