autos are like not so much on a timer as in a sling shot, think like when they're in veg, they're taking all they can and storing energy (sort of like when you pull a slingshot back) and once they're ready they blow up in flower ( the release of the slingshot ) ... what you can do in veg to prolong the veg is any type of HST to shock the plant so it does stay in veg a bit longer. the other thing you can do is simply not give it enough light (my auto lasted almost 25 full weeks because it was getting less than 4 hours of light by the end of it). End of the day a soil grow needs light and water, but stressing the plant by witholding water will ruin your grow. So any high stress training is your best bet. HST = topping, plucking leaves, fluxing, FIMing .... hope this helps ! 🚀
