It’ll grow out of that and look normal, just give it time.

Any idea what's up with this auto? 17 weeks and still no sign of finishing. Not looking too healthy either and the buds are taking forever to form its 4ft or more covered in underdeveloped bud. The lighting isn't the problem

This is an autoflower pal it flowered automatically at week 7 it's week 17 now. I've never had an auto so big that lived this long they usually die around the 80-90 day mark. This is over 4ft

I'm telling u it your light cycle..had one that I cloned that had just started flowering and threw it in my veg room once I planted it and now its vegging again cause of the 18/6 cycle and the different lights

Something is seriously wacked up with your plant. What strain is it and what breeder is it from? It should have been finished long ago, especially if it’s been flowering for 10 weeks. It’s weird that it’s no farther along than it is, if your light schedule has stayed the same and uninterrupted.

Yea I have a fixed timer and the schedule has never changed. I've been growing a while now and I've had the usual problems growers have but I've never had a plant like this or even heard of something similar. Its 17 weeks old over 5ft tall and flowering but flowering very very slowly. Its a Bruce banner autoflower from grizzly seed bank

Possible trifoliate but it looks to be growing out of it. You should be able to tell by now, 3 sets of leaves instead of 2 is a trifoliate. They look neat but I'm unsure if it's a positive trait or not.

If you a plant needs 12/12 lighting to flower and will re-veg at 18/6, you don’t have an autoflower there bud.
I agree though to try 12/12 to see if it’ll help it finish (could have more indica/sativa than ruderalis). OP, it looks like you have a seed with bad genetics. 17 weeks from seed should be enough time for you to finish a large yielding photoperiod plant already.
J dogg do you know what an auto flower is omfg they are a ruderalis cannabis plant that can flower under any light cycle you can flower it under 24hr lights the reason for this is because ruderalis are a cannabis plant that were native to a place that gets around 18 to 20 hours of light a day so instead of it starting flowering once you switch to 12/12 it flowers once it hits a certain age so like once it's only like a week or two it starts it's flower automatically hence the name AUTO FLOWER and the way I can tell you had no idea what he was talking about was because you can't clone auto flowers they don't have time to recover like a photoperiod because they start flower so quick
