Thanks for the answers! The plant is an autoflower, not a photo plant. Doesn't it need to naturally flower with 18-6 light? Can I give the autoflower plant 12-12 light for it to bloom?

It happens sometimes my skunk is doing the same thing as we speak. With autos they sometimes need a little help kicking into flower so you just switch the light schedule to 12/12 and about after a week you'll see the flowers start growing like normal. Hopefully this was helpful and remember "Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time".

This is very strange to me... I don't know what you mean by intervened the autoflower… I will attempt to answer as best I can... I have seen a few issues of autoflowers not "flowering" when they are suppose too. I usually just recommend people try 24-36 of darkness and then go to a light schedule of 12/12... Auto flowers are suppose to Flower by maturity.. You already know that. But if your autoflower doesn't flower.. It's not gonna change it mind. It's best to try Jump starting the flower... And if this is indeed the case. I would recommend staying on 12/12 for the rest of the grow. I hope this helps and happy growing..
