Difference in auto and photo flowering

Skull
Skullstarted grow question 5y ago
If I have an auto and a photo in the same tent and I've been running 24/7 light how long would I have to reduce the light to induce flowering without being detrimental to my auto

You would need to set the light schedule to 12/12. It will not be detrimental to the auto, it will just take longer to finish

Heya! You would have to switch lights to 12/12 to trigger flowering on the photo. I’ve done this before, autos with photos at 12/12. It will reduce the yield a little on the autoflower but is the only way around it. Cheers !

Autos flourish under 18 hours of light, but 12 hours won't change too much for it. Just treat it like a photo but realize that it could start flowering before or after you flip for your photo. The light schedule doesn't affect its bloom schedule (much).

Hey Growmie, You can easily switch the light cycle to 12/12 to induce flowering of the photoperiods and this is also safe for you autoflowers, I've actually done it. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"
