Hello guys, hope you all well? Just a quick question! I'm currently growing a barneys Pineapple Express auto which we all no is just an auto pineapple chunks, but my query today is that it won't flower! It's a UK greenhouse grow, and now on week 8 and a half and still nothing, it's grown extremely large, it had grew to 140cm "witch max height was meant to be 50cm) before I then decided to Stress train it so I had more room as my grow space is pretty limited outside! It's very healthy id say, I'm growing organically with bio bizz grow, bloom and top max in a light mix soil,with about 25% extra perlite, ph at 6.5, I'm just wondering if anybody knows what's going on and can an auto flower follow the largeer plants life instead of the ruderalis? And is this why it's so large and taking so long ? Is it simply following the season ? Any questions I'm open to answer, this is my first grow, kind of! Had a couple pc grows when I was younger but that don't count lol! I won't upload a load of veg pics but il post one of it before it's bend and now! Thanks for the advice in advance, thanks :) looking forward to hearing from you, happy smoking! P.s only 1 out of the three seeds germed which was pretty upsetting but hopefully this will make up for it lol also is it me or is it very sativa Dom for a supposed indica plant ??

Before the bend at week 6 and half! Little bit of heat damage as I left her out in direct scorching sun stupidly and it didn't like it but luckily only a couple leaves got burn

Might have accidentally gotten a photoperiod which would require the light cycle shortened to flower, otherwise you'd have to wait it out, maybe try feeding bloom nutes.

It's been on the bloom nutes since week 5 1/2 and shouldn't I make a complaint as I ordered autos , or can they be unstable genetics autos ?

looks week and stretched out auto are not guarantee to flower under 18 hours of light if no flowering then reduce the light to 12 hours are just wait till we get shorter daylight or even cover the plant up so no light gets to it

with the looks of the leaf its had warm days and cold nights the leaf is curing under witch is a sign of the plant being cold
are you sure you don't see any male pollen sacks on the nodes

L the plant is pretty strong id say and the leaves are a bit droopy think I may of over watered her yesterday ! And I hope it's not male as I paid for female autos , if the only one to crack and grow turns makes then barneys are a terrible company ! Il bring her inside and get some proper pics, give me 5 oh and the damage to the leaves are from the sun as I said I left it in direct sun light for literally 20 mins and it had damage

All I'm seeing is more signes of bloody leaves lol , the reason I think it's weak is because it's in a small enclosed tent with no breeze, what I'm going to do is leave her out the tent and let her adapt for a while, get a bit stronger and see what happen, shames about the shitty UK weather to be honest

look like a pollen sack to me could be wrong though pic a bit blury and your bottom leafs are yellowing sign of low nitrogen
also autos can turn into photos or hermie if conditions are not perfect autos are so unreliable to grow you could get 5 seeds the same 1 could turn male I could be ok outher could hermi on you 1 could grow 6 foot whilst outher grows at 3inc find a good seed what fits you and stick with that or grow a mother plant and take cuttings
