Autoflower light schedule
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!

Hi buddy you have an automatic plant :-) because you do not go to 12/12 because you stay on 18/6 :-)

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 :)

Will my set up work? Is it missing something major?Will my set up work well or am I missing something that can help me out a lot? Wondering if my light is big enough for three plants in a 2x4x6 closet. Are the plant pots adequate size (2.5gallon)? Should I use many nutrients with this autoflower?

LED light distanceHey guys I'm kind of new to growing only been doing it for a little over a year. My girls grow really well they just don't get very tall I'm thinking it's because my lights are too close. Is this correct? Distance is 9 inches above canopy in week 6 growing critical 2.0 autos.

Light ScienceHas anyone watched some Youtube videos by Dr Bruce Bugbee from Apogee Instruments? I find his lectures on lighting to be the most straight forward explanations I have heard yet. I found his vid called "The New 400-750 nm ePAR Range Explained with Dr. Bruce Bugbee" to be eye opening on lighting colours. I have changed my LED's based on a few of his vids. He explains what plants really want and those Burple lights just don't cut it.
For those that don't know he is a professor at the University of Utah that legally studies cannabis growth.
He takes the science of weed grow to a whole new level.Setup. Lighting
