Changing light schedule on apparent autoflower

[smoorman]

I planted some plants including 2 in DWC and the rest in coco. The plants in coco did very well but the 2 in DWC were very stunted. Both of them. I transplanted them to coco after a while and 1 of them started flourishing and the other went straight to flower. It is still very small but growing. It has 1 big bud seeming to take over the main stalk, has trichs, pistils and smells great.
I switched everything to 12-12 a week ago.
I want to try and maximize yield from the apparent autoflower.
I'm thinking about segregating it and giving it light 24-7 hours.
If it is a genuine (ruderalis hybrid) auto vs a plant with a weird stress reaction to transplanting what are the risks associated with the change in light schedule?
I have never tried an autoflower and none of these were supposed to be AF.
These are all WW & NL photo period.
The first 2 photos are the AF and the third is the rest of them.
Any thoughts, questions or suggestions would be appreciated.

If it was flowering before you switched, it could be stress (SWAG) or an auto. That would be new to me also, my gut is to move it out and keep it on the light. As healthy as the rest of your grow is, you will gain more room in the flower chamber

I have pulled it out and will have it on a full 24-7 lighting. And yes I definitely need the room. As it is I'm squeezing 9 plants in a 4x8 tent. I've been defoliating everyday but these things keep going. I'm leaving town for 6 days, should be interesting when I get home.
