HELP! Photos mistaken for Autos .. Need advice on rest of grow

​Hey all,

I made my first post yesterday about the state of my plant asking for advice. Well today I just realized that these ladies are photoperiods and I was working under the assumption that they were autos this entire time. I'm at the end of week 7 and I want to know if I should switch to 12/12 today or let these ladies recover from their cal/mag deficiencies for another week before?

They are only showing a few signs of pistols and have been on a 18/6 light schedule the entire grow. Please let me know if I should switch to 12/12 today or wait another week! Also, how long till the end of this grow once I switch to 12/12?

The seeds in the link you provided are photoperiod I believe. I've never had or heard of photoperiod plants flowering with an 18/6 schedule. Autoflowers will start flowering much sooner than 7 weeks. I'm not real sure what you have going on.
 
OK so I fucked up by mistaking these for auto's.. I don't have much room to grow higher at all. How should I move forward? How do I prevent the main stem from growing any higher during the flowering period?
 
Ok so if the plant started to flower “automatically” then they are autos
Some autos take way longer to flower then just 7 weeks so you actually have a fast auto here I think
 
Yup switching to 12/12 today - no problem with that. My only concern is height - is it too late to supercrop or use any other techniques to control height? If these plants double in height they will definitely grow into the light.
 
In general with autos you don’t have to switch the light that’s the positive of autos.. if you want to keep the height down only option now is to super crop her.. but like 1/4 the way down.. and gently need to squeeze the stem... till it falls over.. after that gently bend her over you don’t want the stem to break that will keep your height in check
 
Plants are around 26" and I'll have to get pretty creative with how to raise this light if these do in fact stretch quite a bit during flowering phase. Supercrop my main branch?

At that point I’d assume they sent you the wrong seeds.. because in my experience the only time a plant goes into flower without a light change is when it’s an auto.. and your plant is in flower and your asking if you should switch it to flower.. so that tells me you have an auto..
if I were you going forward I’d assume they are autos which is a good thing.. unless you plan on cloning either way it’s to late
 
The top five inches... again don’t break just pinch softly till the inside structure breaks then gently bend plant over it should fall over
The picture below is an example of the result.. but this plant was much larger then yours and was more drastic
 
​Thanks for your help! I supercropped 2/3 since my third has had some overwatering issues (permanently droopy leaves) and have switched these ladies to 12/12. The one picture is getting some purple edges on its top leaves, any idea why?

Nope don't plan on cloning, just want a harvest! Yeah up until today I thought they were auto's but checking back on the website it doesn't mention auto on that page, only that they are feminized. They have been pretty stressed from the cal/mag deficiency that they went through.. So 12/12 or stick with the 18/6?
 
Umm you should use plant ties not fishing line.. but as long as it’s loosely tied it might be ok
purple is sometimes normal depending on strain..
what is the low temp?
you did a good job on super cropping (yes this is what I meant)
