@Myfriendis410 This plant, it has been flowering for quite a while but is still not producing buds and is continuing to grow.

Probably the Ruderalis gene is suppressed in that one pheno and is behaving as a photoperiod. You are doing the right thing to reduce the light to mimic flowering interval. How about putting up a picture of one branch or cola in white light so we can see how far along flowering is.

What @Myfriendis410 said.
It may be an auto that had unstable genetics and the Ruderalis gene took over, who did you get the seeds from?, or it may be a photo that got mixed up and sold as an auto heck may even be a different strain it’s been known to happen.
That thing is MAD busby and I fear your going to have some possible issues once it does start to flower I hope you have alot of airflow inside that tent, an oscillating big fan or two, or lots of clip fans.
Put your plant into 2 days of darkness and then keep it on 11hr lights on Max, don’t do 12 the sativa or Ruderalis genetics will want more darkness than that.
Thanks for the tag sorry I didn’t get to it right away.

She began her darkness therapy this evening. Here is to hoping!

Don’t peak, just ignore her and wait then switch to 10 or 11hr off,
His light cycle is the problem. With 10 on and 14 off, is what has caused it to grow so much. Remember, they do most of their growing & stretching ‘in the dark’.
AUTOFLOWER light cycle
Do the first week as seedlings 24/0
then,
weeks 2-3 18/6
then,
12/12 till done… they do most of there growing in the dark!
Do the 12/12 till she eats herself up, when we stop feeding her a couple of weeks
before chop, so she’ll be a smooth smoke.
If his plant is a photoperiod and NOT an autoflower, and you are trying to flip it from veg to flower, you only need to do a dark period of 24 to 36 hours.

7 weeks is young still even for an auto.
okay thank you, I was just comparing the other one that was planted the same time and this is my first time with autos

Glad it worked @GAlex and your welcome.
@Marbles yes amnesia haze are long flowering sativas but that being said you should definitely be seeing flowers from an auto at 7 weeks.
Again the strategy is to put the plant in darkness for 48hr/2 days and then switch to 11hr or 10hr off, this is more important to be below 12hr when dealing with Hybrids and sativas because in nature they would get less than 12hr of darkness in their native lands (mostly near the equator)
Makes me happy when I can help people on the forums =)

@Marbles my chocolate skunk autos went 14 weeks total grow. The time the seed companies give is usually less than reality. Trichomes my friend watch them. As soon as the pistols are 75% red brown ambor whatever then focus on your trichomes. They’re autos they will be done when they’re ready. Patience is a must.
Good luck

Well Nicky,
We are still in the flowering stage, the buds are bigger, but now the plant is just looking pitiful. She has wilted all over the plant is turning yellow, and I am quite honestly ready to cut her down and just pray something is smokeable. For the past three weeks she has been dropping a lot of leaves which I just assumed was her cannibalizing them but now that they are all wilty too . . . I am also wondering if she might be getting too cold. I was reading that the Diesels like to stay warm and the room she is in can get into the fifties overnight. Any thoughts on all of that? Also no parasites, and no visible mold or mildew.
Well where have you been for the last month?
Gotta keep posting daily or at least weekly so thst people can guide you on how to grow until you know how to grow… That’s what the community is for.
Is it a nutrient problem? If it’s eating its self sounds like it’s starving but by now it sounds like it’s to late?
It can get as low as 12c at lights out but It needs to be like 20-27c Durring lights on, ideally 24c and stable.
Anything lower and the sugars get thick and the plant starts to die
Sorry Nicky,
I don’t think it is a nutrient problem, I am feeding foxfarm nutes now, and about every three weeks I add calcium and magnesium. She is getting watered about every three days in the soil-less mix that I am using and is almost dry then. Water is going in around 800 ppm and coming out somewhere between 800 and 1000 and the pH is pretty standard around 6 in and out. I am wondering if the plant is just honestly too big for the pot that it is in. The plant got to be almost to the ceiling of my 8ft tall tent and it is 10*10 wide and the plant takes up almost the whole tent up top and most of the way down. I never wanted this plant to be so large and I am just wondering if that could be the issue. I am also working a full time job and working on my masters degree at night so time for anything outside of the two is limited. Taking care of my girls is my down time and my relaxation time. They help to calm my spirit from the day.

You can grow a monster plant in a small 3 gallon pot it just need everything else to be dialed in.
My loc grow shop guys gets 7oz in 3g pots, but ide a rather not push that hard of nutes and water/feed everyday 
I’m off to bed gotta be up at 5:30am, so 7hr
