Critical auto please help! I'm on the edge..

Hello I'm really struggling here guys and want some help if possible. Ok, I regard myself as a novice as I've only ever grown a few times and although my yields have been small they have been all ok in taste. My problem is this, I'm growing my auto which is from gorilla seeds in the uk, (where I'm from). It is the feminised Critical and is about 7/8 weeks in but there is next to no flowering going on. There was a fair amount of growth and due to my lack of space (five foot grow box) I've had to LST a lot. Despite this the growth has been vast, without the LST she would be around 3 to 4 feet high and 3 feet wide. My temps are around 75, I'm growing in soil (terra range) I'm using dual spec CFL about 400w in total. My nutes were only cheap (coco range). I honestly don't know what I've done wrong? I'm growing 24/0 which is the only thing I've done differently from previous grows. The plant with the exception of the odd tiny light burn on a couple of stray leaves looks green and healthy but there is just a splatter of tiny white hairs throughout?? I really don't want to give up on this project, I only usually do one grow a year as I'm a very seldom smoker and this started so well until the last few weeks? Please could you guys give me some help.. Thanks in advance.

Put it under 12/12 lighting, I'm guessing the auto-flowering trait wasn't passed on, or it just needs a jumpstart to get going.

Thank you crazy bear, my only concern with this is my grow box is in the shed outside. Although I run good temps with the lights on, they drop to around the 60's with the lights off... Will that still be ok for 12 hours at those temps? Regards

Hey poults, do as crazy says with the lights & also feed the plant flowering nutes i.e. something with low N & high P & K. good luck..

Hi zaycor, thank you for your reply, I've been using a low dose of flowering nutes and I'll add my pk's on my next water tomorrow. I'll try the 12/12 as you guys have suggested, I guess I have nothing to lose. As I mentioned I'm a real novice in growing and smoking but it's amazing how much devotion you apply to your plants. It can seriously £&@" your head up when it doesn't go to plan. Thanks again chaps.
