Why are my autos flowering to soon ? I’ve read no red spectrum?
Welcome to the forum.
Red spectrum does not trigger flowering for any type of cannabis plant.
In the case of autos it is time that triggers flowering. Most will flower at some point between 4 and 7 weeks. We have seen them flower as early as 2 weeks, though this is not common.
In the case of photos it is the light cycle that triggers flowering and photos will flower when the duration of light per day reduces to < 14 hours.
Growing photos is the only way to control when a plant flowers. You have to take what you get with autos.

Looks healthy. Your plant will be more productive with more light.

WELCOME @Slingoman …“.You have to take what you get with autos”.@MidwestGuy …Is correct on that…
My first grow ILGM Blueberry Autos was big…I got spoiled…Ive grown mostly Autos Outdoor the past 4 years and yes…Its hit and miss…I had 2 over 4ft Bubba Kush …In a 10G fab pot…and also (Like this season I had 3 6-8 inch Bonsai`s)…
My Bonsai’s… 
Probably doesn’t make you feel any better…But it does happen…I don’t think its anything you may have done…

My Bluefruit auto started flowering at 4 weeks from seed. They are huge now and really healthy, but I was with you and was like “wtf”…lol. Your plants look good, keep at it.
I’ve been doing pretty good 3- 3 1/2 oz. dried A/H around 43" and all of a sudden they started flowering early? I’m thinking I tried going cheaper on the soil? but I think Iv’e done some changes with lighting also.
I bought the fans at wall-mart a few months ago but last time I looked they didn’t have any?
Just cut the fan leaves as they died. I’ve been doing pretty good 3- 3 1/2 oz. dried A/H around 43" and all of a sudden they started flowering early? I’m thinking I tried going cheaper on the soil? but I think I’ve done some changes with lighting also.
The girl scout doesn’t get very tall but better than this lol! I’ll still get some nice buds out. And it will be that much time so it kinda evens out a little

@FUKAZ28 …Yeah that’s the world of Autos…My NL came out very nice this time around…Big fat cola very very dense…I cant even squeeze it to the stem its so fat!
@Slingoman bro I don’t think its the soil…I think its the luck of the draw with Autos…Many growers of Autos reported that this year they’ve had very small(at times) plants…It may be a global thing…earth rotation… 
who knows…all I know is this year me and others have reported very small smaller than usual autos.
@FUKAZ28 Gotta ask about your named avatar…whats it mean…I hope its not what I think…Mustang guy maybe…
@AL_GREEN
What up AL? Yup, when i was younger i loved drag racing. Mustang’s were my life back then.
I actually had that tag “FUKAZ28” on my car for a while.
I still love drag racing…watch NHRA to this day …Have an old neighbor who made it to the pros and races against Kallitta…Brown…Millican…etc. In Top Fuel on the NHRA set…
I figured that’s what it meant…I love ALL muscle cars as well as exotics and imports etc etc. I’m a car lover.period…actually I’m a "anything with a motor’ kinda guy… We used to yell out to the blue oval guys…“FukStang” 
…So from that I’m sure you can cipher and tell I’m a Camaro guy…SS to be precise… But I’m not the kind that hates on any one brand…I just love anything fast!!..
I never even thought about it just because I’m old and gray LOL!
