Auto Bubblegum

I have an auto bubblegum that has been going 120 days. Its leaning toward the non auto parent so I switched from 24/24 to 16/8 and forced to flower. It looks great and smells strong, however it smells nothing like bubblegum. She's about 3.5 ft tall and looks great. Hairs starting to turn and curl but still a lot of straight white ones. From what I can tell with mag glass and zoom with camera the trichomes look mostly cloudy/some clear. I want a mix of energetic and couch lock because I have pain/nausea and trouble eating/sleeping because of long time of carelessness of diabetes. My fault so don't pitty please . Anyway my plant is still fully green and hear that fan leaves turn yellow when harvest is here. I put fan leaves from last auto harvest in the soil to add nitrogen during veg period. Are the leaves still green because of the added nitrogen that hasn't been sucked up and used? Should I wait longer for desired effects? I'll add pics when the forum gets image issues fixed.
Thanks for any advice

Throw her under 12/12 and leave there. Sometimes AUTOS express different characteristics ... Both good and bad. Sometimes AUTOS need to be forced to flower , which is okay it will carry on.
As far as bubblegum smell , this is mostly an INTERPRETATION of the TYPE of smell and taste . Not really a given. Sweet smelling and tasting bud can be called candy like , fruity or just sweet. Its mostly a name gleaned from the strain it is crossed with.

Sweet strains are perfumey and smell like candy. Diesel has a fuel like smell ( by description ) , cheeses are well pungent , stinky , and in your face.

Autos are unpredictible , even seeds from same batch.
