I bought some critical xxl autos from Dutch passion seeds and they turned out to be photos but I’m not so sure since they aren’t autos if they are even critical xxl. I have seen some big autos but nothing that didn’t start flowering before day 100 like stated above. I think you may have some photos on your hands although they shouldn’t have stretched yet if you didn’t change the light schedule to 12/12 but I may be wrong on that since I’ve never veg for longer than 4 weeks before flipping.
 
keep it real.

Omg…. Day 100?? No kidding..
you might need to make a hole into the second story.
I’m not sure if you’re lucky or unfortunate.. iv always wanted my autos to veg longer…. Longest veg iv had was 21 days. My current grow was 16… I hate to be the bearer of bad news but they don’t look done stretching.. might have to put a skylight in….

Find a spot on the branches like this & pinch til it’s soft. Do it carefully. That will allow you to do what @curious2garden suggested. Which I think is your best option. Once you soften them up & lean them over, hold them down with a string or plant tie so it doesn’t grow back upward. View attachment 5195681

You are so much kinder than me :) I just crack em over and if they die, oh well, the energy will just transfer to the remaining bud sites :lol: Startlingly none of them have died!! This was one of the loveliest ones.

Don't cut anything. Supercrop them or bend them over and tie them down. Switch the lights to 12/12 if you haven't already. Those are not autoflowering. I have photo strains that will start putting out more pistils than those after 100 days under 18/6.

Wherever you got the seeds from they sent you photos or they don't know how to breed autos. It's obvious that your going to need to flip to 12/12 for those to flower.

SUPER CROP THEM ….. pinch and squeeze at bend point ( especially while plant stems are still pliable ) . This is a “ high stress “ technique but will help ( some ). It would have been better to start training early before something like this happens. You can bend up to 90 °. Some branch support may be needed as a knuckle will form.

Are you even sure their autos ? I’m thinking they are not.
They are yellow / pale and have Purp stems , so there’s that too.
Plus if they even move to full transition ( preflower / flower ) they will stretch even more.
