Hi mate, you say your seeing flowers on the auto but your keeping it in veg, autos dont flower due to light schedule they flower due to age in light hours or age in days, ive not worked it out yet so not 100% sure, but either way the light schedule wont affect them flowering they will flower under constant light from day till harvest, or you can use 12-12 from day 1 to harvest,

so you dont need to worry about putting the auto under 12-12, you can keep it under any lighting schedule and it will still flower, auto means it flowers automaitically, none autos like regular fem seeds and regular seeds need a veg period followed by 12-12 to make them start flowering and you keep them under 12-12 till harvest, but autos dont need the 12-12 to start them flowering as they flower on their own with no change in light schedule,

so ive flowered autos under 24-0 from seed to harvest, it got constant light with no night time period through the whole grow,
ive grown under 20-4 from seed to harvest and also 12-12 from seed to harvest, no matter what light schedule you use the auto will flower no matter what.

so dont worry about the auto, that dont need 12-12, keep it on the schedule you are all ready using and if thats the veg schedule then keep it on that until you want to put the other plant under 12-12, if the auto is still growing then you can drop the lights to 12-12 from the other plant and it wont affect the auto, the auto will still reach harvest as it does its own things,

autos are basically a ruderalis which is a type of cannabis that grows in cooler climates that dont have true seasons as such, so they had to addapt to another method of flowering, so they had to flower according to age in days or age in light hours, so no matter what schedule you use for the auto it will still start flowering,

so you dont need to do anything at all with the auto its the none autos that you need to change to 12-12 to start the flowering,

now if the auto is flowering you will first see white haris coming out the calys or behind the green bits at each node, this is the plant showing you its female, so if you see these fine white hairs then this is telling you that the plant is now mature and showing you its a female, it might not start going into flower for another week or 2, when it starts to flower at the top of the plant you will notice lots of white hairs forming and this is the start of the buds, you will also get these at the nodes as well,

so if you are seeing these white hairs called pistils then congratulations you have got a female and your well on the way to getting some bud, now ill have to read back to check what lights your using as its best to use flowering lights for the flowering stage but dont worry to much about this at the minute,

if its just showing sex and your just seeing the white pistils then you might have another 7 to 14 days until it actually starts flowering, when its actually started flowering you will need to start using a flower stage feed, at the moment its possibly in transition stage but when you see lots of pistils and buds forming then you are clearly in flower stage and you will then need to change to a flower stage feed, but i cant help as im not sure on the products you are using,

once its in flower you would be better off using the 2700k or hps lights for the flowering plants, but if the none auto is still in veg then t might be worth keeping with the veg light for another week or 2 until you put the other plant under 12-12.

so let us know if its just showing sex or is it actually in flower, how long ago was it when the first white pistils appeared, then we can have a rough idea of when its likely to start flowering, ive had autos flower a few days after the pistils appear and ive had autos that dont go into flower until 2 weeks after,
