recovery after being stuck in seedling stage...what to expect?

So guys, I'm talking here about a single plant, an autoflower, grown in a small DIY box 24''x14''x10'' with a current total of 50W of cfl's above her (plan to put in another 50 when she matures a little). The thing is, she was kinda neglected the first 3 weeks of her life, had a poor lightning and ventilation so she started growing tall and scrawny, but then I transplanted her (yea, despite the fact autoflowers do not prefer it much) and burried the stem a bit deeper and waited.... A few days later I noticed she started growing nicely and the 2nd set of leaves finally started showing and so did the 3rd, 4th and so on. All in all I saw a huge progress, now she looks like a normal let's say 10-12 day plant but I'm worried, since I know autoflowers have like an internal clock for flowering, what to expect from this little girl? Will it just start budding in a week or so and give me a gram maybe two, or did I somehow manage to reset her clock and put her back by 3 weeks? Btw, I need to mention that besides tall, scrawny look at the beggining she never showed any other deficiencies.
 
you've probably just set it back. autoflowers can flower FOREVER ..not literally ..but they will flower for a long ass time if you want to let it bulk up as much as it can. just be remain really nice
 
So you're saying that I just set her back by a few weeks and if treated nice I can still expect an average yield of an autoflower?

yea probably. but a big factor is the genetics. if it vegs out for while like a critical mass or ultimate kind of size then don't worry so much about it but if it's one of these stealthy porch plants that makes a single giant pinecone of pot then itll be too stressed to make it to that size in it's short lifespan.

Okay, thank you :) as for genetics it's RQS easy bud auto so I assume it's good. Since it's now 32 days old but looks like a healthy 12 days old plant I'm wondering what can I expect from it and considering it's genetics, is there another 8-9 weeks veg/flowering period in front of her or will she automatically start flowering in a week or so and give me just a few grams?
