You could, however you will see reduced yield, autoflowers do best with 18-20 hours of light a day. Happy growing.

First grow tips and strains pls?
Looking at starting my first grow, I have a 120x120x200cm tent, and a 1000w LED light. What auto strains would you recommend for a complete beginner? Any tips in general would be great too. I'm hoping to have 8 plants, but generally quality is more important to me than quantity.

One main cola or multi nodes?
On a 12/12 from seed would you remove all side shoots to allow for one fat chunky main cola or just let her do her thing? First time using this method. Advice would be appreciated.. thank you 👌🌱

The FLIP
Getting ready for the good ol’e flip. What do most do you guys do for the light schedule? Is it better say (on/off) 12am/12pm, or 6am/6pm. Worried about daytime activities in that room. My schedule will accommodate just about anything, so what are you thoughts?

Erratic light cycles for the first week
Any experience with keeping a seedling in 12/12 to begin with, then switching over to 18/6 after the first week? Because I did that this time for tech reasons, and I do wonder if I produced a hermie. My own notion is that it will just set me a week back perhaps. Anyone know tho?

Increasing potential yield in the trans. flower stretch?
Hello beautiful GD community! I had a question regarding 'milking' my yield. I've got a decent spread going on all of my girls. However, I'm a little worried about the empty space in the tent. Any recommended training techniques to increase yield? Not too invasive; they're autos.
