WTF??? Flowering under 16 hours of MH??

[DogtowN]

Apparently I have an auto-flowering plant in my vegetating room...

My first thought is to roll the MH lights back in the vegetating room to 16/8 and let the bitch flower under that until space comes available in the flowering room @ 12/12 - then move her. But I dunno what that would do to the other plants that are vegetating as I just moved them to 24/0 a week or so ago.

IMO That is your best move. Just flip the timer to 20/4, that works well for the autos. You won't mess up the other plants vegging.
You *don't* want to put it to flower at 12/12, you just cheat yourself on the yield. An auto will finish faster and bigger with a looong day. :jointsmile:

On average... once you see predominately milky tricomes, how long is it until the buds finish filling out an the trichomes turn amber?

Um, between 1 & 6 weeks.

I'm spraying the plants daily (and have been all along) with super bloom nutes that are now up to 2x the strength the label recommends - and they LOVE it! I can actually SEE growth daily. The trichomes went from clear to milky in about 10 days and the buds doubled in size.

I don't really like the sound of that.
I have no experience with this, but I'd make sure to thoroughly rinse the plants VERY well before harvesting anything. Preferably before the buds start filling in, or they're likely to taste pretty terrible.
I wouldn't trust the trichomes appearance either, the spray residue could be causing the cloudiness, especially if your foliar feeding at 2X the recommendation.
