My apologies for the very late reply.
I had bad luck with the 7 Dwarf seeds. Very few of the seeds from this company auto flowered. Having said this, the Gigantes was pretty good smoke. If they don't auto I would suggest reducing the light cycle by an hour every few days or so until you hit the tipping point. I just threw them on 12/12 when they got too tall for me to deal with. I put 2 outside and they both went to flower about 3-4 weeks before my regular strains so I would say they can be flowered on more than 12/12 but I found 18/6 was not enough to cause them to flower. Maybe 16/8 or 14/10 would do the trick but I can't say for sure. I contacted the company to complain and did not get a reply. Had very similar results from seeds obtained from Lowlife (W.Widow & Blueberry).
One thing I found with the plants that did not auto - they grow much like a normal plant but yield is somewhat lower than with regular seeds (maybe 75%). Hope this helps. Cheers!
