Non-autoflower autoflowering

My photodependant RQS RoyalHighness has started flowering on its own. She gets 18/6of light and veg nutrients in the tent in the attic and about 20cc of water a day. The leaves are perky, no signs of stress or malnutrition. Is this unheard of or a rare but uncommon occurrence?

RQS seeds are colour coded for their lineage... mostly. Pink for Feminized, Green for Autoflowers and Blue for CBD plants. Now it does not differentiate between photos and autos in CBD/blue category, they are all still colour coded Blue... and they also don't have a different colour for Fast versions where is photos mixed with autos... It does say on its breeder packs CBD or Autoflower for all blue ones but it looks like some of their older auto lineup does not.. like fast eddy, so just a mess overall. RoyalHighness is a CBD dom plant and does not look to have any autoflower/fastflower in its mix from what I can tell. Respect 13 x Dancehall 24 is its cross. If you got these seeds directly from RQS message them and see if they will send you a replacement as its not what you ordered. This large of a fuck up on that level is rare, to have auto seeds in a photoperiod package direct from the manufacture. so before reach out to them I would be checking your timer and lights to confirm they are in fact on for the whole 18/6 and its not really 6/18. Some lights have their own internal timer, my one digital timer was fucking up before so I had to hard reset it and reprogram it. fixed it just fine. The other thing is this. if they where purchased from a reseller and then repacked for stealth it might be the wrong seed/brand entirely. If you have the orginal breeder packs confirm its the same logo for RoyalHighness the little blue crown, if it was repacked email whoever you bought these from. Also hopefully you did not mix them up with other seeds you have. It is not common and photoperiods can not bloom under 18/6. Fast versions can bloom under 18/6 as their is autoflower in their genetics and if its not stable some of them turn into autos vs fast photoperiods. This has happened to me before.

Then they packaged some autoflowers by mistake. Or, your timer is malfunctioning or malfunctioned recently, in which casue if it is now on an 18/6 schedule it will re-vege. More likely the breeder sent you autoflowers by mistake. Maybe some retarded ramification of making "fast" flowering plants that don't flower any faster tan average and have X% of ruderalis genes in them. This would be extremely bad luck if so, lol, or a breeder that has no understanding of genetics. The nutes have nothing to do with it nor watering habits. BTW, you are watering the wrong way. You should be getting the entire pot wet each time - no dry pockets. A minimal runoff in soil is fine and won't leach off too many amendments. If soilless, you should for for 10% runoff, religiously. Wait for top layer to dry and repeat. you don't pick the cc of water to give. that is dictated by what constitutes your substrate. you give what is necessary to get the job done propperly. A photoperiod is 'dark-dependent'. It requires 10+ hours (varies) of unintrrupted darkness to cause flower phase. In the dark it produces a molecule that is part of a feedback loop. When the concentration of that molecules builds up (only produced in the dark) it sets off a reaction in the plant to shift to flower phase. It is impossible for a photoperiod to do so without a long dark cycle.

I don’t have any information about this specific genotype but i guess there has been a Ruderalis in its linage. Just know ruderalis usually have higher cbd content and royal higness is a high cbd variety right? Ruderalis genetics are used to create autoflower varieties
