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

Auto wouldn’t flower until 12/12, switch back?
So I have this cream mandarine auto that would not flower. I had it at 12/12 for he last two weeks and it finally started. Should I just keep it at 12/12 until harvest or can I switch it back to 18/6 to speed it up? Will it re veg? Relative noob...

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?

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.

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?
