Autoflower light schedule

TrichomeHolmez
TrichomeHolmezstarted grow question 4 years ago
Soon rolling into veg for my first auto grow. Currently on an 18/6 light schedule using Mars Hyrdo II 700w . Don’t have any problems with temp/humidity inside tent. Once you notice the buds starting to flower do you switch to 12/12 or just keep plugging away with 18/6?

Personally I find autos grow their best with 20 hours of light , 4 hours of lights off. I've grown em under 24 hours light and found yield doesn't increase just finish a bit quicker.... and definitely not worth the extra hydro all grow for 5 days faster lol. Considering Uve had it on 18/6 and shes now cozy. I wouldn't disrupt her light cycle and throw her for a loop. A longer lights on cycle is something u start from the word go. Cheers!

An 18/6 is an Ideal schedule for autoflowers. Some people say 24 hrs works, but I'd never put my girls through that kinda stress. They need their rest! Cheers and happy growing!

Autoflowers don't need time schedules to trigger flowering, so you can keep your regular 18/6. I've seen people talk about switching from 18/6 to 24/0 during flower for autos, but others said that the change on light schedule could stress them... I'd suggest keeping them on current schedule :)
