Auto taking FOREVER to finish

i have two autos in flower and they have been growing from seed since September 17. Growing in soil and unknown strains. Seeds from VSB for $15 for 5 seeds and wanted to try them out. Started out really well but taking forever. I have posted pics and would like to know if I should just them them be and continue on or chop. I have them on 12/12 and could use the space. They can go back into my veg area.

I had high hopes for these girls initially. First one still looks pretty good too.

I must admit I not done autos before (apart from 1 which refused to root & i ended up ditching!) but certainly from your pics I would say the plants are looking over-ripened, if anything.

And from the little I do know about autos, 3 months is more than enough time for them to have been done, chopped & smoked by now.

When u say they not ready, do u mean trichs are still clear - no milky or ambers yet??

My only other thought is $15 is pretty cheap for 5 seeds so maybe they 1st generation autos that haven't got great genetics and will never provide a perfect grow. I could be wrong on that & maybe seeds are cheaper in ur area, but I would recommend checking out the company's website - if they're selling new gen autos at much higher prices then that's probably ur answer. Plus also, did u have to switch to 12\12 to initiate flowering?? Cause if so, then they probably ain't autos to begin with!

They keep popping out more pistols. Trichs are cloudy no amber. But yeah I would say they have had more than enough time. And I am going to haul them out. I do have a legit northern lights auto in dwc which started from seed Dec. 5. She's cruising along but no flowers yet.

They did start to flower on 18/6 but in the hopes of pushing them along I switched them to 12/12 with my other photos. Which it seems a lot of people end of going this route. The first plant is all pistols and very little leaf. In the time it's taking these I will have harvested two rounds of photos almost. I think I will stick to photos and perhaps keep thenfour remaining autos for outdoors when spring hits in the hopes of having two outside harvests before then end of October.
