24/7 or 18/6

[Ossi Ossi]

G'day
I have 4 autos on day 86
Is there any advantage in me changing the lights 24/7 to speed things up or not
Just let them run the race at 18/6
I have dropped all Nutes and using PhD water 5.8

Run 18/6. No benefit running longer.

Autos are not photo period plants, so it will fully bloom when its ready no matter what light cycle you are using. Unfortunately blooming is on the plants time schedule not ours.. lol

They look like all Gunna get cut and different times is that normal??

Hmm not sure?.... Could be different pheno types causing different growth rates?. My friends are more into growing autos, I'll have to ask one of them. Myself I'm more in the camp of preserving genetics then just growing.

I have 1 ready now and between the other 3 all still at stages with bright white hair s

I have never planted 2 auto flowers or photos together and harvested both at the same time. Each plant will act different depending on the pheno.

You can run 18/6 or even 24/7 no dark or rest period is needed. Ruderalis genes dictate the short life cycle the plants are racing to finish up thinking that winter / death / senescence is coming soon, even if it’s always summer.
