Hello,
Thanks for contacting us. There are a couple of things....First, I do not recommend a 24/0 light cycle for autoflowers as you might be giving it a DLI higher than they need.
This is what you should follow, you can use a DLI calculator to know exactly what you are giving the plants. Another thing is that autos in hydroponics tend to take longer than in soil/coco.
If the 1-fingered leaves are all over the plant (lower branches included), it could be a genetic issue but if they're only at the top, it's most likely too much heat or light. I recommend having the light at around 30-40cm from the top buds and placing a fan between the buds and lights to prevent this.
That said, you'll know better than me because you're seeing the plants in person. if you think it's a genetic issue please let me know and I'll talk to my superior to get the seed replaced. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Aha, you went and talked to the manager 
Well yeah in general maybe next time don't try to hulk out your autos that much.
Yes it can be done as some here demonstrate, but high stress can also turn out weird results.
I thought as well if you have been blasting them with 1000par that's high, and they were very close to the lights, autos generally do well with a bit less, they can take it if you can provide it from the correct distance and at the right phase.
Now if this is a light stress result as he says that would be very good news as then she would be able to finish from where she is?
Hang the light higher and aim between 700-800 par maybe.
I'd still keep the 12/12 for now that also already reduces light stress and to see if it's not anything else as that would become noticeable pretty soon, if she still auto you can always increase it again.

Say are the buds getting bigger?
You did top a few so there's no long thin branches sticking out that already looks a lot different.
Well the 12/12 should be a lot less stress, but nudge it down from a 1000

Less than 1000par
Yeah to me some look like they are getting bigger.
Let's see in a couple of days.
I mean if fastbuds is right, that would be awesome.

It takes more than 3 days for a plant to react to light changes.
His recommendations are sub par at best.
Cheers!
Why did you contact the breeders when you have more knowledgeable and experienced people on this site?

I dunno, his recommendations were ok to prevent light & heat stress which is a possible cause for what happened to Fietchen's auto within this setup.

My plants doing fine the buds are huge I had wispy tops so I cut as well they was inches from my 400w hps. I don't think it was light for u as the bottom buds are doing the same u have single leaves all over I do think your tops was getting to much light but your middles should have swelled by now. if I was u I would send a pic to fast buds ask them for a free 4 pack it costs a lot of money for a plant not to grow properly Here's my plant about day 75Day 98
Looks that she need timequality looks good so she will be potent hopefully. I hope she finish quick i will start a new grow but next time with 4 Plant's!

Let's wait for my Tree i belive she will do fine hopefully lights are On Off 12:12

I mean if it's just a stress response or something genetics and she can just continue to flower from where she's now and the buds do fill out somewhat nicely, yeah sure she will be pretty epic... as she's huge!
But it won't be quickly..

Leave it on 12/12 do not go back!!
Leave it at 12 you'll have all kinds of problems if you switch back
