Hi purple space thanks for the reply I made a rookie mistake at the beginning and didn’t label the strains so I have cheesecake auto and sour orange auto not sure which one is growing but ones thriving and ones not even popped above soil yet and I’m running xeccon 600 watt led full spectrum uv/IV light

I thought Autos were under a different light schedule like 18/6? Idk tho that’s why I asked.

Autos can do any of the typical light schedules. Some do 24/0 some do 20/4 I do 18/6 for electricity savings and to let them rest. You can also switch them to 12/12 at the finish if you have photos ready to flower in same space. That's my perspective but maybe some more experied growers can chime in

Yeah I’ve got mine on 24/0 will start to put it on 20/4 I think depending how they go on might just leave them on 24/0

So technically I could throw a few autos into my room with the lights on a 24/0 with plans to switch to flower on a 12/12 in a month?

Absolutely. The autos don't need 12/12 to flower obviously but they do work in those circumstances. Not sure if yields on the autos would be less or the flowering time would be slightly longer than under say a 20/4 but they should be good.

I'm curious about that now, will see what I turn up.

 

[Modest Grower]

Looks like possible decrease in yield compared to 20/4 and possibly longer flowering time. Might see some more stretch as well.

I'm wondering if I should up mine from 18/6 to 20/4
