First Time Growing Anything

Am I the only guy out there who is over 60 days from sprouting White Widow autoflowers and still isn't seeing any signs of flowering? It's been a couple of weeks since I last updated here - two weeks that I have spent closely staring at these plants and asking myself, "Is that a calyx, or could it actually be a pistil forming". After two weeks of that, I still can't say with any certainty these plants are every going to flower. Grrrrrrrrrr! They're healthy, pushing 30 inches in height, incredibly bushy - if they're 30 inches tall they're probably also at least 30 inches from side to side at the widest point. They're taking about 3 quarts of water each every two days. They're growing in Fox Farm's Coco Loco so I held off on fertilizing til around 6 weeks (they started showing what looked to me like mild signs of a nitrogen deficiency) so I started giving them the schedule for the Fox Farms nutrients at half strength. I expected to at least be admiring the beginnings of buds forming by now, but no such luck. WTF? Beats me. I'm going to let them go like this for one more week, which will have me at 10 weeks since they first broke through the soil, and if things don't appear to be moving along I guess I'll try cutting their light schedule from 20/4 to 12/12. I've read that some autoflowers will have hung on to more of the genetics of the photo-periods they were crossbred with than others and that they need that kick in the ass that comes from reducing the light schedule to move into flowering. Of course it's the internet, so I've also read that this theory is a load of bullshit! Either way, I really can't think of anything else to try at this point. Or am I just being too impatient? From everything I've read, not at least showing some pistils at 9 weeks is pretty far outside of normal for WW autoflower. I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas about where I'm at with this. :)
