First is my stubborn 92 day old auto starting to flower? I tried to wait her out but i had to try something so I flipped it to 12/12 schedule 8 days ago. I’m hoping that kick started her.
Second thing is something is going on with the leaves. She’s in 50/50 coco perilite, ph 5.7-5.9. Using jacks 42 with silica. Any and all advice or suggestions would be welcome.

What is your light schedule? I have heard of late flowing autos…but not three months late. Any chance they are photos?

I planted 2 at the same time from the same seed bank. The tent was on 18/6 until 8 days ago when i went to 12/12. One flowered on schedule and I harvested it yesterday. This one was slow growing and just wouldn’t flower. I’ve only grown autos so I would assume I got 5 auto seeds and not a photo mixed in.

Misfire. Happens more than you would think. 12/12 will do it. Pull some clones right now if want. It is a photo.

Ha,I guess I can’t say I’ve never grown a photo before. lol. Kinda sucks though case now i have seeds that i don’t know what they are. Did you happen to get a look at the leaf pics i attached? Not sure if it’s something I should be concerned about. Heres a pic of the whole plant.

Too thick for my tastes. The rest of the beans are probably auto. My longest and best clone run was 2 years from a GG4 auto bean that misfired.
I would defoliate her. Clean her up a bit then get your flower on. Everything you take now will come back double in stretch. Another prune and call it good mostly. Just me. Flower nutes starting at flip. Enough N in the soil to get through stretch I bet. As for leaves..you have an overabundance. This forces her to eat more to keep up. She will also start discarding leaves.
If the leaf is damaged just pluck it. I do not know your nutrient line but it is flower nutrient time.

I see the net. You are in a great position to stay on 18/6 and fill that thing wall to wall with a month or 2 of patience. 2lb plant if want. Drop that net down. Thread the branches gently out. Filler up.

I’m using jacks 42 with silica for the grow from start to finish. Coco perilite 50/50, ph 5.7-5.9. I dropped the net as far as I could this morning but the branches are VERY woody and not wanting to bend much. It was my first time using silica and i wonder if i should have waited until flower to start using instead of starting in veg. She also got a nice hair cut this morning.

Silica did that. I wont use it till flower for just that reason.
I had a Medgom auto that refused to flower. Planned her to be done in July, but when we went to Sri Lanka in September, I had to put her outside since no one would be home to feed her. got my neighbours to look after her for 3 weeks. Got back and in the tent to finish. Took 222 days to chop. Still have seeds but don’t want to plant them!
Flip her now and hope she behaves!

She’s flipped! If she goes 10 weeks, it’ll be 160 or so days from sprout. Definitely didn’t plan on that. I’m a new grower so I haven’t experienced anything like this before. Actually, kind of excited to see how she flowers. Only my 3rd grow and I’ve learned alot so far.
