Auto won't flower.

This is my Dinafem White Widow XXL auto. It is my first pro attempt of growing. She's not the happiest one, I admit it, but I'm still learning.

Anyway, my concern is that she's into flower now, the pistil is there, but been like this for quite some time, no signs of progress at all, no signs of bud formation. I'm afraid that she might die without giving any yield.

I'd appreciate some feedback based on photos, like some diagnosis, or what might be the problem for not flowering.

As my setup, I am growing in a 2,5 gal fabric pot in coco, under a HLG 135W Kit Rspec (can go up to 165 true Watts, onlyusing 100 true watts right now), 18/6, using the Advanced Nutrients pH perfect line (a 3 part formula), Cal/mag ofc, right now feeding around 700 PPMs with a pH of 5.8-6.0.

Thank you in advance, looking forward to hearing some ideas!

How long has she been vegging I had an auto go 8 weeks before flower. I’ve heard of 10, she will flower just be patient. Plus longer veg means bigger buds. Looks like you have a few thing s wrong with you plant but that won’t affect the flowering of an auto.

Don't let your pH issue go untouched...you're plant has some extreme deficiencies which won't bode well once your girl does start flowering. Good luck.
Everyone keeps telling me that my pH is off. For God's sake, I check and adjust it every single time! It's basic stuff,
right? You add nutes, then you adjust pH according to your medium. I'm in coco, so I ALWAYS adjust my pH to 5.8-6.0,
ALWAYS! What could possibly screw up my pH?

That I can't answer friend; there are a variety of things that could goof up your pH, even though you're checking it. Do you have another means to verify your initial readings; like drops? Your plant should not be yellowing like that. To me, it looks like an iron issue, which is usually a result of a pH issue or too much of something locking it out, as iron isn't something they need in boat load amounts...but I'm one man, so see what some of the others here have to say. While I'm not a proponent of checking runoff, maybe this is something you should look at if you haven't already. Have you tried adjusting your light (I don't use LED's, but more than one person had gotten theirs too close)? Sorry I can't be better help.

Thank you anyway, I appreciate your advice!

don't be afraid to feed it in flower. you don't say much about your nutes, but you have nute deficiencies. increase nutes and water more often. it's yellow at the top because it's dry. the brown spots are calcium deficiency and the yellow streaks is nitrogen deficiency. google jorge cervantes plant nutrients pics...

If you havent done it already test the run off water see how the ph changes as it goes through the coco then adjust ph so for example like if your watering at a ph of 6.0 and the run off goes up to like 7.0 then water at 5.0 ph and vise versa
