Autoflower finally showing pistils after seven weeks

New grower here after seven weeks of not showing sex at 18/6 it was suggested that I may have a photo and to flip to 12/12. I did that ten days ago and now I see what I believe are pistils on the main stem.
Do I keep this lady on 12/12 and if so when should I start feeding bloom nutes, that’s assuming these are indeed pistils?E6636F4B-323C-432D-A455-211F44AD2AF9.jpeg

Keep on 12 / 12 and continue with another good VEG feed to cover stretch phase … when it stops or slows bloom feeding can take over.

There can be instability in autos. Depending on its lineage you can get "autos" that just didn't carry the ruderalis flowering trait.
Example: The original cross between an auto and a photo will have (statistically) a 50/50 split between auto and photo in their offspring. Without 5 or 6 Generations of either back crossing or crossing with another auto, the propensity for autos without the automatic flowering trait increases. Also, some are just slow. My caramelicious auto took 45 days to start flowering last run, but only took 30 this time. Genetics be crazy yo!

Forgot to add, yes those little white "hairs" are your girl's pistils. Feed her. Think about how much a kid can eat going into puberty. That's exactly what she is doing. A good heavy last veg feeding like @Budzbuddha suggested and I'd just roll with the 12&12.
