New Grower taken forever

i just wonder about these autoflowers im growing polarlight 2 from dutch passion and is stated as 2.5 weeks veg and 8-9 weeks of flower,mine are 8 weeks old and only showed pistols on the cola last week which was week 7,so theres at least another 8 weeks of flower which would be 15weeks total and thats if they finish then,
just wondering was this a fault in my part,
transplanted twice due to pot bound
started nutes week 4 instead of week 2
growing outdoors
sativa dominant/longer flowering
ive read muddys guide on autos but mine seem to be taking longer than the guide aswell

i just dont get it atall maybe some strains take way longer than stated

You can't go by the finish time the banks say as this is just a estimate and is rarely correct.Autos don't like transplanting so if you did it twice you more than lilely stunted her.Also if you have her outside this will also make the finish time longer.

Never transplant a Auto!!!! Thats the proplem they normaly dont have the Time to get back from the Transplant Schock. I reconized it too as i repotted my Autos at the first Autogrows few years ago. At one day someone told me on a Forum that u need to put the Autos direct in the end Podsize u want to keep them. Since that day they always perform in almost the time breeder say.

So the repotting might be the proplem that your Ladys take that long. Even repotted twice so they had twice the schock which they normaly not once tolerate.

yeah i have read that also i sort of had no choice started them off in small pots then transplanted to 10 litre pots thinking it would be enough then was rootbound for a week or so and the only other pots i had were 12 litre paint bukets had to transplant at that stage then went rootbound and i found a couple of 15 litre pots which i transplanted yesterday and i kinked the main cola on one of them i have it tied to a bamboo stick, i cant see them taking much more root at this stage now i hope the extra 3 litres will be enough ive already wasted a load of money on stuff and stuff i didnt need ah well at least ill learn from my first grow

Honestly i really dont care bput rootbound once i have decided for my Final Pods. Also read that Rootbound sometimes triggers them to start flowering which really could be cause i had one Auto once in just a 3,5l pod and she started Flowering after 14 days from seed. She didnt pack much weight but she was super fast "pher Wiggle"

I dont know 7 weeks seems to long to me
Im using biobizz and they say to use grow all the way through the entire grow in conjuction with bio bloom i might drop the grow and just feed bloom + Topmax what do you guys think would it be ok to drop the grow?
