The stretch is real and must be coming to near an end. She is now at 22" and reports to max out at 24" so she is almost there. I have been a little disappointed in the amount of time she has taken to get this far. I have her growing with another strain and she is about 3 weeks behind. I do think that she will start budding but there is no way that she is going to finish in near the time that she was reported to. I would expect that it will take her probably at least 6 more weeks if not 8 to finish. I am seeing some bud formation but the plant is not going into full focus on budding and is primarily still focused on growth. Only time will tell what the finished product will produce but as of now i am leaning that the Sativa traits of this Auto are more predominate in this plant than the Indica. If you have any thoughts I am open to listen.
