Auto Flowered Early

My second grow. ILGM Blueberry Auto germinated from seed using previous grows FF Happy Frog soil 4 weeks ago. Was doing well then noticed yellowing so I thought maybe it was root bound so i transplanted to a 3 gal bag in fresh Happy Frog ~10 days ago. I also reduced the light from 20/4 to a 18/6 thinking it was too much light and now its flowering. Currently giving 1 tsp calmag no nutes per gallon of water and giving ~12oz every 3 days. The yellowing still not going away.
Anyway..... Would the 2 hour light schedule change trigger an autoflower to flower? Is this plant worth continuing? Its about 8" tall now; how big will it get?

Timeline is a little hazy its more like i first "noticed" flowering a couple weeks ago. My first plants were auto but at that time i didnt know when or what flowering was or how big they were when it started. They reached about 3FT tall at chop. So - this plant might get to that size in the same grow space? Any thoughts on the yellowing/tips?

Once the damage is done....it's done. Hard to know if what you did fixed anything going off an already damaged leaf. Just go off the rest. And congrats..early flower ...nice.

She is gonna stay small … nothing will change that at this point.
It is just trying to complete its life cycle.
I figured it will stay small i just dont know if that means a foot tall or if it might get 3 feet tall like first grow. (I think my first plants were twice this big before i noticed flowers)

No added nutes, FF happy frog and started 1tsp calmag per gallon when yellow started.
ok..I reread your post..you did use the same soil from your first grow. "using previous grows FF Happy Frog soil 4 weeks ago".... and your wondering why your 2nd grow didn't do as good as your first grow not using nutes, and using the exact same "used" (from prior grow) soil your first grow grew in . Correct?

Thanks for re-reading but No. "germinated from seed using previous grows FF Happy Frog soil 4 weeks ago." then, "i transplanted to a 3 gal bag in fresh Happy Frog ~10 days ago."
I realize the previous soil would be depleted of nutrients but I thought it would be fine to germinate the seed and get it started knowing i would repot.
