Lighting for autoflowers

[deadxringer]

I've heard lots of different things when it comes to the light schedule used for autoflowering strains. If you grow autos I'd like to know what you use and why.

18/6 on current run with a 12/12 run coming up in a few weeks to show the difference.

Ive done 24/0, 20/4, 18/6 and 12/12 from start to finish. 18/6 start to finish consistently had the best results with autos by far for me.

24/0 until first 5 leafes then either 20/4 or 18/6 is the most common.

This is my first indoor grow and using hydroponics, I have LED lighting and have been using 18/6. Because they are going to flower regardless, light and rest is natural

Hey just to fill you in I was recently told not to do 24 hrs of light at all in the life cycle of autos. I was told came out a couple ounces shorter every time.
