Yeah Maggie, they'll do fine.

Bubs flowered later because she was younger developmentally. She budded later, she finished later. Going to be a total of 3 weeks behind Blueberry but I probably got a bigger yield from Bubs because she was so dense

Hi guys. Is the reason I should run the light for 20 hours instead of 18 because mine are behind? Also, do I really keep the light on for 20 hours their entire life? I know people do it, but it seems a little strange to me since it does not emulate nature, at least in my part of the world.
I run 24-0 on my autoflowers. My photoperiods also get 24-0 until flip to 12/12 or 10/14. It does help them, especially autos, if you ran them with more light hours....
Edit...this is what I found works for me and my gardens! You can have a system that works for you but I suggest this to get started

Is the reason because autoflowers have less time than photoperiods?
It's because they do a lot of work in a small amount of time and they just don't require the amount of rest that photoperiods do because they are usually bred with something like ruderalis.
However, I know @Jack420 and his world of autos have been under a 12/12 schedule their whole life and they are killing it!!! So it is totally under a grower's discretion...so many different ways to grow an auto. Some top some don't because they say they won't recover...they recover and strong.
You have to rule out the myths of the auto growing world on your own...too many people say this and say that but you won't know unless you try for yourself. That's what I do and that's what I know Jack did with his idea for 12 hours on and 12 off.
That's why I said take in all this information and make your own recipe. The more you grow, the more recipes you have to work with to make that "this is the one"....
It's a blend quality of lighting, amount of light,, environment (temp/humidity), training, nutrients, genetics, the grower's general abilities, etc etc...find that right mix and your girls will thrive...to heck with all the this is the best way talk because you hear it from everyone and how can everyone's way be the best way? I hope that all helps and helps to ease the stress of growing...you don't have to be perfect, you just have to be willing to try and learn different things
Totally agree my autos Ben on 12 12 from the start and they grew with out a hiccup an got
Also think my autos produced bigger buds at 12/12
new things can bring tons of positive in the picture you just never know until you give it a crack !!

The light is set up. It’s been on for about 10 minutes. Dimmer is on 30% and hanging 24” above the canopy. Sooo bright even on a lower setting.

@Emilya @StoneOtter @Bill284 @Krissi1982 @Tokin Roll @Jack420 @Renaissance Man Hello again. Do any of you use an RH humidifier? If so, could you recommend it?
I do Hunter. I got a wick and fan one and not a sonic one because it won't leave as much mineral dust in the filter. I got it to sized to fit the room the tent is in. Aircare on amazon for 139.00

I have a small one but I rarely used it. Only a little bit when they were in seedling and early veg growth

Fact checking. If you have a light, the humidifier should be placed above or level with the light instead of below. That’s what I’ve read. Is that correct?

Interesting. Do you have anything to raise the humidity at all in your grow space?
Put water bowls and they will slowly evaporate!
Bingo !!!!
