Should I change light mode to 12/12?
NobodysBudsanswered grow question 4 years ago
No, the great thing about an auto is you don't have to change to 12-12 -- this means you don't need super expensive lights because you can provide 50% more energy over 18 hours.. or 66% more energy over 20 hours...
So, don't reduce light. That provides ATP. ATP is used by cells to create everything and anything... which then turns to ADP and the cycle restarts.

Hey there. Autoflowering seeds require as much light as possible. They start flowering not depending on the light cycle. I would reccomend you 18/6 or 20/4 for best results.
And yes you Better start giving her some more phosphorus. As she is Already in flowering phaze.

@nobody01 I read about it, but thought it was better to change the light mode. Last time I grew 12/12 from the seed (I had reasons for that). In principle, the result was not bad. Ok, I'll try 18/6 all the time. Can you recommend something about solution?

PAR/PPFD and light heightPAR/PPFD: does light height matter if your PPFD is in the right range? Another way to ask: is 300 PPFD @ 2 feet the same as 300 PPFD @ 20 feet, or are there other factors involved? (assuming heat, C02, all other non light inputs equal)Setup. Lighting

Is that just a light burn or could it be something else?One bud in the middle of my plant is much lighter than all the others, which all look healthy and green. I think it was due to the too small distance of my light, which was only 20cm (8") between canopy and light. I have now moved the light to 35cm (14").
