Welcome ! nice looking plants. I would cut my light schedule back to 12/12. Encourage them to start flowering. But on the plus side you’re going to have bigger plants.

Welcome to the community and you pointed out why I hate Auto flowers. They do what they want, when they want and there is nothing you can do about it.
Looking good…

Autos don’t care about light schedule. But yeah, you can do 12/12 as it won’t hurt them.
I did notice a lot of purple stems and branches. I don’t know if this is a genetic trait for that strain. Can be a sign of a deficiency but I will let the Pros chime in.
Love the grow room size.

Very nice looking setup I see you have tons of head clearance. That’s a good thing.

I have growed autos from start to finish on 18/6. They done great. Also growed them on 12/12 start-finish. They done Great . Also put a couple in tent with photos 18/6 light. And when photos was ready to go to 12/12. Swap to 12/12. The Autos will perform under just about any reasonable light schedule. But sometimes you get a stubborn one, you got to cut the light schedule to get it to flower. Hope that helps good luck.

If all you have is Autos and its just the 3 not flowering, just switch to 12/12. It won’t hurt them as they are already nice sized plants.
I’m growing 2 Autos and a Photo on my 12/12 start to finish. They are all the same height and soon enough the Photo will go ballistic and they won’t be the same size.

If you have high efficacy lights sized to your space, running 24/0 just wastes electricity. If you are hitting your Daily Light Interval (DLI) with 12 hours of light then that’s where you should be. Running 24/0 doesn’t help the plants as they benefit from low light hours just like us. Autoflower strains sometimes lack the ‘clock’ genetics inherent in autos so you have to stimulate them.
You can put all of your flowering (or hopefully) into one space on 12/12 with no issues.

Ive got a ILGM Ogk auto. Week 5 today. I ran the Autos @ 14/10, Shifted 12/12 72 hours ago due to fems in the box as well.
Ogk front plant. Ogk close up. Other reasons could be Stress related. Over watering is a big killer, heat, over pruning ect. I’m not a horticultural expert but just tryn to help. Take it or leave it…

I’m growing OGK (fem)for the first time and they didn’t seem to want to flower like other strains I’ve grown. After 8 weeks in veg I switched to 12/12 and cut way back on the nitrogen and increased the P and K. After a week they were popping out buds from top to bottom. So it might just be a characteristic of the strain.

Your doing nothing wrong. Might wanna prune some of those fan leaves off and get light to the bud points. Make sure you have air flowing over and through the canopy. Might look at cutting the lower buds out Doesn’t sound right but by removing some buds, it’s better for the team. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of a couple… Spock… Finally. My plants are normally mutant creatures. It’s hot and humid here most of the year… These R @ 5wk 1day. I’m betting 8wks. Or, U Aint got OGk Autos. Not the first time… Less is More… Always side on less water. Take it for what it’s worth…
