51 Days: Not Flowering / No Room to Move / What to Do?

Also-
I might mention she is 40+ inches tall from top of pot and may still be stretching.
Can't say for sure.

If it was an autoflower it would be in bloom after 7+ weeks. If it's a photo, it will never bloom until it sees 12/12

well- it is supposed to be an auto.
all the same strain, same seed pack...

Looks like buds forming. May just be a monster. Tie her down if you need room.

I have had plenty not auto. They look nothing like that! Just be patient.

by no means put the good ones under 12/12, that will badly compromise yield and quality! The stubborn one is likely showing some "incomplete" auto expression, it's absolutely not a black and white thing, no off/on switch there,... We see many examples of this here all the time... sometimes it's just plain bad luck, or poor breeding,... you say this is Growers Choice? Figures! I'm seeing several misfires from their shaggy-ass genetics recently, no exaggeration.... I don't like to bag on breeders, UNLESS there's real empirical evidence of consistent problems, and IMO, now there is,.... you must be the 3rd or 4th person with this problem of lagging, slow blooming auto's of theirs that I alone have had to help with....
So, you can let her be for say, another week and see if the crowns start forming, or gut out a 12/12 cycle however you can.... or just junk her however disappointing that is,... Sometimes the cheaper seeds are no damn bargain at all,.... Stay with known quality genetics from here out, we have all the proof and research right here!

My current plant on my current grow did the same thing. Jave 2 plants,germed and rooted same day,Made a few preflower and started stretching but didn't bloom until day 50 something for left plant while right plant was blooming. After 2 weeks it finally started blooming,I waz scared like you but waited it out now she a beast. You could also give her some flowering nutes to help

Thanks Waira,

This was my first purchase and I had no idea where to get seeds.
Bought them before I even found AFN
Just took a shot in the dark.

Archaic had mentioned waiting for the others to finish in my grow room and then run the 12/12 on her.

Will she wait that long or would it be a lost cause in 6 or so more weeks?

Would the non-flowering girl still flower (if she was going to) if she had to wait another 6 or more weeks for 12/12 for the others to harvest?
It's a dang nice plant with lots of bud sites.
It would stink to lose it.

It seems to be showing photo period traits.. In that case, you can veg her under 18/6 for as long as you want to. If its a photo, then it won't flower until it gets 12-12 Regardless of what you do. Like Waira stated, we see it all the time with shotty genetics.. Your options are to either wait it out, or flip to 12/12.. If you wait until the current grow is over to try going 12/12, just be prepared for a large plant. If you isolate the plant for a week or so under 12-12, just to see if it flowers, it wouldn't stink much.. If it flowers, you can throw in back I. the 18-6 tent to reveg it and wait to flower it after your current run.. also, if it is a photo period, you can take a cut of it and run it again at a later time.

Those aren't buds forming. Those are female sex pistils. The plant is showing sex, but there are no buds forming in those pics. Photo period plants will show sex and throw pistils or sacs at around 6 weeks old.
