Something's just occurred to me

IV just harvested an AK fem auto, everything turned out good in the end with her, I've got three other Northernlights going that I thought were auto flowers, I looked back at my invoice for the seeds and it just says feminised seeds, no mention of auto flower anywhere, now these three seeds popped on the 6th of may making my plants nearly 11 weeks old, my 3 plants have not shown flowering yet, will my feminised seeds grow more like a pheno type plant? Anyone please feel free to give opinion on this, I'm a first IMG_20200717_193406.jpgIMG_20200717_194008.jpgIMG_20200717_194113.jpgtime grower who's just managed to harvest my first auto flower, here's some pics of the three plants I'm talking about.

Thanks for the replys, sorry I didn't explain my point good, I've been waiting on them to flower as I thought they were fem autos, but I've since realised I might be growing non auto feminised seeds, I'm very new to all of this and have put most of my efforts into learning autoflowers, I did have plans to learn the pheno type growing style in the future, I'm not really sure how I should proceed with this now.

If the invoice just said feminized then they are not auto's. Just switch the light timer to 12/12 when you want to start flowering the plants. There's not much to learn that's different from growing auto's.

Will I need to go 12 hours light to start flowering phase now, and if they are photo period, will I have vegged them far too long? What I mean is will they grow and stretch to big for my tent?

Flip them now. Looks like you have plenty of room for those plants. You're going to get better quality and yield from those photo's than you've been getting from auto's. It's a good thing you got photoperiod seeds.

Why were you growing auto's in the first place?

Yes, flip to 12/12 and you should be good to go. Judging by those pics you have lots of room. Your plant will likely double in first weeks of switch as they stretch.

I thought growing autos would have been easier but I've since learned that it's actually the other way round, because you don't get much time with autos, I suppose it's a nice surprise as I genuinely thought I had ordered autoflower seeds, they have had nearly 11 weeks veg as I see it, IL have to look into the photo period growing now and get clued up on that style, thanks for all your replys, most appreciated.

I believe that tent is a 5X5X7 foot, should be lots of room, they are not too big right now. My current plant was supposed to be an Auto as it stated on the box but it did not flower so I flipped the switch at 11 weeks as well but it was much bigger. Took over my tent which is same size as yours I believe. In my case the breeders mistake should work out in my favor. Same for you, the extra veg time should add to your yield. My only issue was I did next to no training on it due to it supposed being an Auto but I think she will still produce well.

I topped two and just let the other one go as I thought being autos id see what worked out better at the end, obviously the tallest one has not been topped, just some lst.
