Hey, I knew you'd make it to the right place! I Would have to say, looks like an Auto. When you have questions, it helps to state as much about your grow as possible, strain, grow medium, light info, nutes and anything else pertinent. autos will do what they want, sometimes they may take up to 8 weeks to show, and other times they end up like yours. Autos are weird, and not very friendly to beginners. I do not have enough experience with autos to be of much help, sorry. If you don't get any help here, there is a forum on autos about 12 spaces down from here on the forums page. I would rather pass this off as opposed to guessing, good luck...

Hey, I'm back. Okay, seems like you are not getting many replies and so, I'll speak up. Chances are strong that your plant will be a waste of time, however, since you are in it this far, start a few more seeds [not autoflowers] and let them veg alongside your existing plant at 18 hour of light. The auto will continue to flower and the seeds will veg until you decide to flip{change light cycle to 12/12}. Try to veg for 60 days before flipping. Don't expect much on the auto, it started flowering too soon. That was out of your control, the regular seedlings will be under your control so, Dial it in and grow on. If you decide to grow photoperiod seeds, give me a heads up and I'll be watching.

I've worked a lot with autos, including extreme stressing. I don't think it's a waste of time.
When autos were first developed, one issue was continual flowering, which breeders eventually managed to suppress. But that trait remains buried in the genetics. I like it, and stressing can bring it out.
Typically, plants that display that trait are referred as super or semi autos because they tend to be big, autoflower and will flower as long as you keep them alive. Traits you would expect from both types combined in one plant.
I have one I call a super auto because she's a monster producer. She starts flowering at 4-5 weeks and when I put it in the ground and feed heavily (she's a glutton), she'll give me up to 5lbs.
This is one plant harvested end of August.
Btw, that's a full sized wheelbarrow in the pic.

Buy a better light, your plant can not out perform the light it's fed.
What light do u recommend
Wow. So should I take it out of the 5gallon bucket now or later and what light do you recommend

A 5 gallon bucket is pretty good. As long as it has lots of light and make sure you have holes in the bottom for drainage. Without drainage, you will drown or stall it. Light size? the best you can afford. It's getting late to start your research so look for Spider Farmer or Mars Hydro. Move your plant outdoor if you can and save your money.
I grow under HID which would be silly for you. I'd look at LEDs. I'm sure if you asked there are lots of extremely knowledgable guys that could help you.

What's your budget, and what sized space?

If you can afford an HLG led light that’s the way I’d go. I use the 600 R after seeing a few others and won’t switch. Good luck with whatever you choose.
