A semi shady spot like near a tree for a few days.

Yeah that’s gonna be a problem. Drastic option - chop off top half of the plants, give them a few days to get over it and then go 12/12 to initiate flowering.

Some good info here.
Autoflowers are Awsome, it’s the genetics stability of some breeders and ilgm seems to be one of those breeders unfortunately.
@Hellraiser gave you the best advice in my opinion, I grow mostly autos and have for years.
Cut the plants a little blow half way on the tent height. Give them a couple days to recover and then turn the lights out for 2 days and turn the lights to 12hr on 12hr off.
The photo period genes in your plant are shining through so you will need to do this to force the flip. Then just keep them on 12/12.
They will stretch and that’s why you want to cut them before 50% height.

Thank you everyone for all the great advice i have been treating these plants like autoflowers but now that i know they are photo period i have a couple of options, i want to put a couple outside and leave a couole in the roon and cut the inside 2 in half and put on 12/12 light when they get over the shock. Question i have 2, AK-47, 1 Bubblegum and 1 white widow, which 2 should go outside? I was thinking 1 should be a White Widow???
Not sure of the bubble gum strain but ak 47 are a hardy strain so I would put one of those and a white widow if you want or both of the ak’s.
White widows are also very hardy to my understanding so one of each would be a good choice.
The ak is a nice smoke to, it’s very clear headed sativa high. So far one of my dad’s favourites of all time.

I grew that same pack, the WW strain I had grew taller than the AK. I suggest you go with Hells advise, I have been following his guides for 18 months and doing well. If you wanted to opt out, go the WW.
Happy growing!

My first grow. I got the same pack and after 10-11 weeks, one plant, bubblegum, no pre flower. Not as big as whats shown in the picture but if they are going to double I need them to start flowering now or I will run out of room.
Is this a autoflower pack? I thought it was when I ordered it, now I’m questioning myself. I can switch to 12/12 if needed.
I thought i ordered autoflower but i actually ordered photo period which i let go too long, as you can see in the pic, i had way too much vegetation in my room. I removed 1/2 the plants and the remaning 1/2 in the room i basically cut in 1/2 and forced them to bud by turning the lights out for 24-48 hours, then 12 on 12 off with the lights. All worked out ok. Good luck!

Yes, those are photo period in that mixpack.
I grow autoflowers and photo period under 12/12 light just to save the electricity cost.
Switching to 12/12 is what you need to do to make them flower.

I’ll switch to 11/13 and see what happens.
What should I expect? ~Two weeks to start flowering, then ~8 weeks to harvest? something like that?
