Autoflower lighting

[Modimane]

Should i place my autos under 24 hour lighting?

Yes I have done a lot of experiments with this issue and found you can leave 24 hr loights and get 15%more yeild and after the designated time period they will start to flower. Remember once you see the plant changing dont forget to change up the Nuterients to the flower stage Nutes.

Mine are on 24hrs right now, no issues. Well , other than the ones I caused....

I do 20/4 personally

I find they really stretch durring the dark period

some autos keep growing and growing , some dark would be better , i think 20/4 is better

Is that good?

The nice thing about Autos is that you can provide 24 hours of light, which might be necessary for better growth/flowering, if you don’t have adequate light intensity.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

I think so

Some dark has always been good for extra growth for sure

Why I run 20/4

 

[NuttyProfessor]

mad

I do 18/6 with autos for the same reason. More growth during dark cycle IMO. Ive done 24hrs but less growth. Only using LEDs for both.

Rephrase: the plants dont actually "stretch" more, they do in general actually grow more in a positive way.

 

[FelipeBlu]

Okay
I prefer less stretching and closer nodes.
Whatever lights your joint..

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Let me rephrase it

The grow more, in my opinion, with a dark period

 

[FelipeBlu]

I hope this doesn’t come across as snarky, but there’s a real need for real data on this and many other internet opinions.

Besides scientific research for years , we all just go by our personal experience

I've seen what my plants do at night so am confident with my assessment of the day/night cycles I've used

 

[Chris Scorpio]

And Flat Earth is REAL!!!!!

LOL

I have gone 24/7 with autos...

Otherwise known as anecdotal. There are so many variables in any grow, that without adequate control, the results of even multiple experiences must be considered inconclusive.

Don’t shoot me - I am a scientist. It’s my nature.

And the Earth is FLAT!!!!!
