Confused about pistils

Hey guys I'm pretty new to growing and trying to figure out a few things. Hoping to find the answer here.

So I found a seed in a bag of dank so i sprouted it and built a small cfl grow. Sprouted and grew about 2 feet and other than lower fan leaves turning yellow and the tips turning brown (believe it was from adding nutes to miracle grow soil resulting in slight burn) everything was going great.

Roughly 45 days into verging I started seeing pistils which I know is the sign of female sex but I thought they don't show til flowering. I felt the plant should have vegged longer bc I had very small bud sites and the branches bare. I assumed it was an auto flower plant bc of this and put it under veg lighting. I also cloned a branch just for the hell of it even though I read it would only delay flowering by the time it takes to root. Against this I stuck it in the veg room and gave it low dose of veg nutes. It rooted and grew two branches and the center cola is fatter than the one on the original plant after an additional 50 days of vegging. The pistils are all white still so I put it in the flower room about ten days ago.

Question is does this sound like an auto flower

If so why didn't it flower and the pistols change color

If not why did pistil appear in veg

If those pictures are of the plant under veg lighting then yeah, it definitely looks like it's autoflowering. Looks normal for a couple weeks into flower, I would NOT suggest putting her under 12/12 since this will reduce the yield substantially if it is indeed an auto, as it certainly appears to be. Those aren't just pre-flowers that you would normally see in veg, that is exactly how my Blue Kush auto looked a week or two ago in the middle of flower

The last pic is of the clone which I have had in the 12/12 flower lights (I have 5000k for veg and 2700k I think for flower I'm not home right now) it was in the veg room under 18/6. Should I leave it in the veg room or move to flower room and increase light time (I thought in flower it need 12hrs dark to grow properly)

The first three are the original plant that has been harvested. The pistil almost all turned and trichs were 20%amber. It was a few weeks after the pics.

Also wondered if my lights are part of the reason for the lower and outside branches to be under developed. Like I said there were a couple bud sites but they never filled on the original plant. Do I need to add lights to the sides? My rooms are already 80-85 degrees with the existing lights on.
