Sorry to here this, I think I read about this happening before with A.A on here.

*Most* AF's should autoflower between days 10-25 from sprout. If it goes anything over that I personally would throw it into 12/12. Unless I know otherwise from the breeders description/other peoples experiences that it may take longer

The danger is you wait and wait, and end up with a plant far too big for your space, which has happened to me before.

then id drop it to 16/8 & see how she fairs, thats if you cant stick it in another room of its own! id of done that after 6-8 weeks myself.
Ive had similar problems but the other way around on 20/4 i couldnt get a LR2xAK(JD's easyrider iirc) to stop throwing flowers n mature untill i dropped the light hours, it just didnt want to stop.
G'Luck!

You could try knocking down your light hours like others have suggested.. see if that will trigger your AA into flowering.

But if it's already at 1m tall it will get massive! You could cut it back and tie down, or take clones for next time?

Quite a few options, you'll just have to have a think on what would work best for you.

Is it possible to take clones from AF?

you can take clones off THAT autoflower, since it's not autoflowering. but typically no you can't.

in your situation I would use it to learn to clone then kill it off. if you get a clone to root then I'd put that under the 150w if the other AF is done. if not, well you've got yourself a mother plant.

it happens, I've had 2 AF that didn't auto, I kept one. killed the other.

sorry to hear your misfortune one those beans...

Dude! who waits 14 weeks for an AF to flower before asking questions!?!? At least you finally found this place and we will be more then helpful.

I would try to drop the lights down to 18/6 and see if the AA is just very light sensitive, this will also keep your Pineapple going strong. If the AA doesnt show signs of flowering in 7-10 days then you will have to drop her down to 12/12. Sorry for the crap AF beans, research AF genetics well before you purchase.

Peace and good luck,
SGS
