Your autoflower will need at least 18 Hours Light to get the Best Successs. I had them running 24 hours on one Grow, but now iam back on 20/4 . The Plants can take a nap for 4 Hours . She will do her Flower under 12 Hours Light too, but wont be the biggest Yield

Hi @Centipede! If the auto plant is under 12/12 light schedule for its entire life, yes yield will be severely affected. However, if you apply 12/12 only for the last 2-3 weeks, this should not impact the yield so much. I'm currently doing it so I can have photos & autos, flowering in the same room (only for the last 2 weeks, once all the bud sites are developed and just need to fatten up). Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

In theory more hours of light should be beneficial to autos in flower. However, in practice, I've seen some of the largest autos ever grown under 12/12 with other photos as you are planning. You should have great results under 12/12. By the way, she's looking beautiful so far. Good luck! 👍

Hello @Centipede ! If you mean if it will have an affect to the yield then yes . You will yield a lot lesser than a plant that flowers at 20 hours. But if you are asking for the quality then no it will not affect it. No mater how many hours you give it if you keep it happy it will have a great quality. Happy growing! 👊
