Less light for an auto? Maybe 12/12?
Rush2112started grow question 6y ago
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?

Nope.. I'd keep them at 18/6 for life.. Currently I'm running a few Fastbuds Auto's under 24 hour light.. I bring them in at night and they are under a t5 for supplemental light. Imo the more the better! But they recommend 18/6. 👊

If I move 3wk old S.Diesel & Critical from 18hrs💡indoors to outdoors where they'll get +/-11hrs direct🌞. Is there still a risk of them going into flower even though they're still babies? I really don't want this to happen. They'll be in the woods so no chance to add extra light6y ago

Light and waterThank you guys! for watering, I don't know how she can react giving her more than 250ml. I can try but I don't want to drown her. For the light, unfortunately direct sun light arrives from 11.30/12 am to 7pm. Before it is covered by other buildings behind my terrace.Week 2

Setting up air cooled refactor.I've got a new air cooled light refractor, a tube like one. I've set it up such as the pic, I'm thinking of putting the extractor where it shows on the pic with the air flow going the way of the arrow, would this be OK? I can't find anything online about setting this one up.

Como racionar ciclos de luz diferentes em grows con crecimientos diferentes?I have an indoor photoperiod strain in the beginning of flowering at 15 weeks and an auto at 3 weeks in the beginning of the vegetative stage. Both are under 18/6 light. They are in Scrog. How will I be able to switch the photoperiod to 12/12 since it's in the store in Scrog, and the 3-week auto can still stay on 18/6?Setup. Lighting

600w hpsWouldnt let me PM. I have a 5ft long 3ft wide 6ft tall white walled grow room and am thinking about a 600w HPS light now. Will this fill the entire room? If so how many plants should I plant? Will this one suffice? Would a 400w hps be more suitable for this space?
