This HBA plant has vegged for a long time and by day 52 she was still only in what looked like preflower? I was told to flip her to 12-12. i did that and now she's flowering without having stretched at all. Should i go back to 18-6? this seems to be going very fast for a photo?

You wont stress it out to much. Photoperoids will not show signs of flower till after a week and a bit after flip. It will show sex but not make true flowers. All autos can be run start to finish on 18/6 some do 20/4 or even 24/0 but plants still need rest. If it purchased the seeds as an Auto then it is most likely an auto and you should switch the lights back. If its a photoperiod, it will grow single blade leaves as it reveges and then can be switched back into flower if needed. A lot of newer autos are vegging just as long as a photoperoid plant. Good Luck!

no room for followup to question: I'm torn between risking stressing a photo out by giving her too much light or starving an auto of light by not giving it enough. from what i've heard photos take a while to flower while this girl got to flowering in just 10 days after flipping. was she gonna flip regardless?
