Ud want to keep it on 18 hours. I run my Indoor autos on 20hrs per day the whole grow. U will dramatically reduce yield and lengthen flowering time dropping her down to 12/12... happy growing and stay lit fam.

Thank you both so much. I always figured being an "Automatic Flowering" strain that I would not have to change. Now my brother had a strain he needed to switch and it was also auto so it threw me off a little and being my first Autos I wanted to make sure I get it right. I think there doing ok but it will be time for flower soon. Again thanks very much to you all

Hey Growmie,
They actually need to be on a 18/6 to make they get optimal growth. Now if they aren't flowering correctly then switch them to 12/12. Hopefully I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

How to properly flush fine particles in soil with a grow bag that has small mesh size?I´ve made 4 flushes with tapwater since March 12, but the runoff EC of 2 plants oscillates between 1-1.5, going up and down without a decreasing tendency. I suspect that the sandy-like particles of the soil amendment are not being flushing. What can I do to effectively flush themWeek 13

Both have inline fans installed with filters. 6 female plants, 1 male, how likely is it for pollen to wind up in with my girls if I keep the male in a separate grow tent?
