Veg or Bloom mode for Autoflower?
Bushbaby808started grow question 6y ago
Hiya Folks 😊
As I'm growing an autoflower should I be using the bloom setting on my LED light instead of veg setting?
It's only a 200w system and I'm growing in a 3'x3'x6' tent.
My plant has just done 28 days from seed!!
Cheers 😉

Hey there 👋
I keep my lights in veg during the seedling stage, maybe the first two weeks. After that I switch the bloom feature on, and keep the veg on also.
A nice gentle beginning, then I run my lights full power (LED)
Happy Growing 🌱

Hey gardener! You should use full power to get more growth from your plants. Maybe the flowering spectrum will make them grow more, but having more light will give you a better result. Good luck to you, bella ciao!

I personally switched on both veg and bloom from week 2 and it worked like a charm for me - my plant grew much faster after that.
Just make sure your light isn’t too close to the plant, if you turn on both veg and bloom.

Diferencia en el color verde de las hojasThese autoflowering plants are receiving the same nutrients, water, etc., and are in the same type of substrate. But some (the darker ones) are getting additional artificial light (CFL Neon) to have 17 hours of light a day. Is the difference normal? Which one looks better?

Less light for an auto? Maybe 12/12?Been going with 18/6 for my cream autoflower from growers choice from Day 1. Now 5 weeks into flower I’m wondering if she would benefit from less light, like 12/12, as you would for a photo period plant. What do you think? Would she be happy flowering in some more dark period?Setup. Lighting

Swapping day/night light cycle during flowerDay 22 of flower. Lights are on during the day, 8am-to-8pm but we need to switch to 8pm-to-8am to use the colder night air to cool our lights without using a/c. Would it negatively affect the plants at this point in flower to give them 24hrs dark & completely swap light cycle?

Should I switch to 12/12 lighting? - Autoflowers not showing pistils after 5 weeksGrowing five plants (germinated Sept 8) including 3 Anvil and 2 BlackStrap autoflower strains from Mandalorian Genetics. The BlackStraps have been showing pistils since about end of week 3. No Anvil plants are showing pistils. Should I switch the lighting schedule to 12/12?

Did I start LST too early?At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?

Wrong light scheduleScrewed up light timing.
Thought I was on an 18/6 schedule in my tent but apparently it was 12/12 from weeks 3-7. It’s close to needing to be switched over to flowering size wise. I switched over properly to 18/6 two days ago and plan to keep it there for an extra week. Yes?
