My auto flower went 16 weeks and basically zero buds and its def a female. Bad genetics im told. Also they are suppossed tp be the same strain bud they obviously are not. Im assuming they just threw seeds in a pouch and sold them anyway ilgm was my trusted source bud these are not good quality or th e same strain.
If you contact ILCM Support, I’m sure they will hear you out. I bought WW Autos and had a few non-germinate. They were very helpful when I reached out to them
Pics or it didn’t happen Growmie 
I’d be interested in knowing what you see that leads you to believe this.
I’ve never heard of this. The longest we have seen any plant go is 12 weeks, and that has only happened a couple of times among forum members in the past 5 years. It is possible that you may have gotten photoperiod seeds. Do you have the product code available?
Pics would be helpful, as would more information about the grow conditions.
Are they ILGM 
My longest clone run was an auto gg4 that misfired.
You most likely have a misfire. Flip to 12/12.
This past spring, I was growing an auto outside in a 7 gallon, and her sisters were inside a tent. The outside plant never flowered – not even after about 60 days. Just kept vegging and getting bigger. I was about to bring her into the tent to force flowering, but then she started on her own in late July. She acted like a photoperiod. She ended up being 42 inches tall, 38 inches wide, and grew the best weed I’ve grown yet. 
I’ve HEARD that the reason is because I planted it in a 7 gallon pot (big) and because autos don’t start flowering until the tap root hits bottom. I don’t know that that is true at all. I plan on testing the theory again next spring with some Sour Diesel autos I hope to score.
It isnt true. An auto can flip to flower if you yell at it sometimes. Unstable suckers here and there. So much interbreeding that stable mixes can be hard to come by. I get most of my auto issues from the funky named mixed breed stuff.
Thanks, man. I didn’t think so either. I couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t flip, but I didn’t mind it getting bigger. That plant ended up outperforming the indoor sisters. I lold @ “if you yell at it”
