It's been 32 days since my sour diesel autos sprouted and no signs of flowering, what could be wrong?

My bad I just looked up the strain and pre flower starts about week 5 I'm in week 5 and they are starting to lighten up, maybe next week I should start seeing stigmas in about a week or so? Last batch was white widow and was done in 9 weeks this ones going to be longer I take it.

It it is not showing flower signs at the end of 35 days I would change light schedule to 12 12. Another failed autoflower. Funny how this seems to be the topic daily. Don't worry tho cuz it's a fast version. Lol

Just flushed it last night, I had extremely high PPMs and EC in my last runoff measurement, so it's a little moisture stressed.

You are overfeeding I would say, or recently thought your plant needed more and up your feed strength. I would go back to what you were feeding before. If she wants more she will drink quick, just feed 2x as often.
The thing about a auto is you can't afford the mistakes cuz the clock is running. So your high salts in your run off although a issue is not responsible for delaying flower. The situation is the exact opposite, your plant would still flower healthy or not, again the clock is running. Change your light schedule

I wasn't "overfeeding" per se, I believe I wasn't watering with the right amount of runoff and it built up.

The plants look very healthy, no tip burn, no yellowing leaves, just has shown no indication of flowering in week 5, this is my first time with Sour Diesel autos and veg was delayed a bit because i transplanted them into bigger pots earlier than I should have, it took 5 days from sprout to push out a second set of leaves, should I count the 4 weeks of veg from the time I saw the first node rising, or from the time they broke ground?

Are you growing in soil or coco?
When you say you had high EC in your run off what was the figure?

Reduce the light hours to 18/6. I always liked to give my plants a rest.......that could be your drooping problem. My plants usually droop towards the end of their day and perk right up after they rest.
What is your medium?

I see light stress and a little heat stress, I also see newest leaves have become very skinny, are loosing serrations and becoming smooth, the edges are rolling down, and some of the tips are starting to produce foxtails hooks/curls. I would listen to @MickFoster and reduce light. Also give us more details as to what your growing in, your food, your temps, your light.

just raised my lights a bit, growing in 2 gal fabric pots, coco/perlite only been feeding every 3 days with GH flora series, was feeding 1 ml of cal-mag with 7ml of nutes a 1/7/7/7 per gallon ratio, RO water with 1100 PPMs and 2.2 EC, PH around 6.2 after mixing in nutes. I think I'm not watering often enough and not to the right amount of runoff. I flushed yesterday with a lighter mix and got normal PPM reading within 2-300 of input in my runoff. Going to scale back to 1/5/5/5. The leaves have already pointed back up since those pics this morning.

You should be feeding at least once a day to substantial run off. If you do that you should never have to flush because of high EC run off.
Never give plain water.
Try just using the Micro and the Bloom..........I use 3ml micro and 4.5ml Bloom with tap water.......I like to keep my ppm's around 600.

I didn't give plain water just half what I fed the last 3 times, ran 2 gals through my 2 gal fabric pots, basically watered to 3/4 runoff with a lighter mix if I had to guess the amount of runoff. It had an EC of 1.1, which I felt was an improvement over the 3.2.

I assume your fabric pots are elevated and they don't sit in the run off?
