Alright guys I need some insight here.. I'm growing some stardawg autos. Four of which are 35 days old, the other two are 29 days old . One of them started showing sex (pistols) on day 13, another showed on day 15, one started showing at dat 20 and the last started showing pistols at day 22. Which is fine, I know that autos aren't perfect, but they all seemed to be right in the proper range of flowering. The two that vegged the longest are obviously the biggest, But the one that showed sex on day 22 has been still in pre flower after 13 or so days. Maybe 14. Hard to recall. She is HUGE compared to the others as you can see. I just started hitting them all with bloom nutes to try and push them all into flower because a few are a little behind, but this one girl concerns me. I've been lst'ing them all. But i have ran out of room with her. Can't even tie her down anymore. Even her side branches have big side branches that are like 4" long.. either way, I'm running out of room and time. What can I do to push her into flower? Maybe 12/12? Or should I just be a little more patient? She has been this way for almost two weeks. Maybe she has shown SLIGHTLY more pistols over those two weeks, but she has just been getting HUGE. Idk what gives, I would expect cotton balls at this point considering most of the others have exceeded past cotton balls after two weeks.. I need these girls to finish! I am moving soon! Any help/tips/opinions appreciated. Big thanks in advance!

Hey buddy, it's not uncommon to get your tent bigger than expected. 
It's much better than the other way around. Strange to me that the flowering is so staggered with the same strain though. I'm sure others have seen it more. Personally, I would give it a little more time. I think your looking good, healthy plants all around.

Yeah man definitely. I mean it's not string, it's pipe cleaners. But certainly a small point of contact. Wish i had something wider, softer, and easier on them but I have been checking where they pull against the plants and haven't noticed any notches or anything as of yet. Kinda doing all this on a whim- vegged them under a tiny, free 150w hps for the first 2.5 weeks then was gonna guerilla grow them and decided against last minute and ended up ordering all my shit, so yeah it's not perfect for sure.
All good buddy. Pipe cleaners are fine. It looked like string. Me eyes r failing meh.

-- bloom nutes alone won't force the bloom, that's a hormonal deal and P-K isn't tickling that button- 
...it's not all that uncommon for an auto to hold out, got another in here right now,... truth is all seeds are a bit of a gamble-- fem, auto' especially,.... fine breeders see this less, sloppy one more,.. Are these FastBuds? .... so, you may have to start light reduction hours; what are you running now? 14/10 is worth a try before 12/12, often the not-quite auto' will be more sensitive to reduction than a straight photo',... most folks just pull her out and stuff her someplace dark for a the extra hours needed before shoving her back into the tent after lights out,....
