Royal AK47 Autoflower: Changing from a 24h light cycle (since beginning) to 18/6h when already flowering - no problem or not recommended? The temp is a bit too high (~30*C) I think.

I think it's better to go 18/6. The plants go through natural processes that only occur during night time. I believe this is essential to developing a healthy plant. To answer your question, no, the switch won't hurt her at all.

Thanks for your answers, guys! @The8thChevron: I thought so too after a while and wish I had done 18/6 from the beginning. @rhodes68: They do in fact not look too healthy (ph problems or something similar). Doing in steps means first ‘night’ only 2 hrs, next night 4, then 6?

If the plants are otherwise healthy it should not be a problem heat can be a real killer Would do it in steps though, less shock the better
