Yes my friend, it can happen.. Even with a very good breeder, there's 1% chance of non autoflowering... Anyway if you switch them in 12/12 they get huge and you'll have a big harvest...

It depends on the breeding method ! Most autoflower strain are crossed to photoperiodic to get f1 , then the f2 which are strictly autoflowering are crossed together (photoperiodic are set appart ) and the same selection is done on f3 , f4 : Breeders Using that method are usualy selling F3 or F5 so in a F3 you have more chance to find a photoperiodic plant ( 25%). The other method consist in crossing autoflowers together and then you'll get straight autoflowers !! Hope it will help you bro , you can now select this answer 😀😘

LST/HST delay flower by 3+ weeks, so most of mine end up finishing around wk 14-16 instead of 9. Some autos of any breed seem to need 12/12 or just a lot of time to flip. I have a 7 month old auto white widow that's almost this big in a 3 gallon -- it cant make enough bud for how big it is, gonna be a hash/edible plant.

Some seed.companies are much more reliable, I like to hope that most of the seeds are gonna be accurate but this isnt always the case. Dr. Krippling puts this strain at 10 weeks but often it's really longer. I think it's crazy about that many incorrect seeds, and maybe approach the breeder and see if they'll send new ones. Happy growing.

If the plants in question are preflowering and staggered branches they are sexually mature so you could put them in dark for 24-48 hours. If they start flowering you can put them back in the tent with the others. Sometimes they just need a little push. If they then stop flowering and revert to veg you’ve got 3 plants that aren’t autos, then you have another situation you have to come up with a solution for that 1 ;)
