I believe that she is a bit stunted, but the LST seems to have worked well. Any tips as she early flowers?

Hi @Pagus! Your plant looks healthy, maybe a little hot (leaves edges are slightly curling upward). Flowering at week 8 is normal for an autoflowering strain, you could even consider yourself lucky since your plant had more vegetative time than usual. Now you need to maximize your chances to get a nice healthy yield, this means no more special operations (no surgery, no scissor cut, and no more LST) until she managed to fatten up. You're going to need bloom (P+K) fertilizer in order to help her building up those buds. You can use a well known brand such as BioBizz, Canna, GreenBuzzLiquids...Or you can do it by yourself, using banana peels, coffee grounds, epsom salts ... If you're not confident about mixing your own just grab the smallest bottle you can find. Be careful now that she's into flowering stage, rain could ruin your crop, consider building a tomato-roof in case of a rainy week. Finally, you will need to take a daily closeup look at your buds, to make sure they're not getting mold, and to find the perfect harvest window. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing! 👊

Lst would prolong the veg stage in an auto along with the temp but she is outside so cant do anything for night temp, start feeding her some bloom nutes and see her stretch and fill out nicely

Autos do not start to flower due their age, but their development stage. Growing outdoors is, most of the time, slower due a couple of factors: the amount of light hours which is much less than what you can give them indoors and the temperature, anything below 23°C (73°F) will sow down the grow rate, which is way your plant took so much to start flowering. According to your data, your plant is receiving is 15 hours and your day temperature is 18°C (64°F), which is why its taking so long. Try putting it indoors during the night, that will help some with the low night temperatures.

Hey Pagus, your plant has watering stress I guess you water them too frequently. You can see this from the puffy space between the leaves, the extra water probably compacted the root zone as well, this makes it hard for the roots to spread. As you're flipping into flower, i'm sorry to suggest this, but the best thing I guess is to use an additive called humic acid, water three times in a row with it, then water with flower nutrients. The humic acid, kind of decompacts the soil a bit in my experience and gives a nice kick to the roots too. It's already the right pH aswell so you dont need to pH it. Beyond that if you dont want to try it, if you want a full day longer than you think before you water the plant will develop a better root zone and hopefully grow faster too. It's very important to keep a strict wet dry cycle when you use soil. since you cant really lift your pots (lol) then you should maybe invest 7 bucks in a hygrometer and you can poke it next to your plant to check if you need to water. You can even find some cheaper ! up to you , hope this helps 🚀
