Hey fellow farmers. So a quick question. My girls seem to have forgotten they are autos so I have switched the light cycle to remind them. Is this the right move or should i switch back to 18/6

I would let them run on 18/6... some turn to flower later on.....But after looking at your Pictures, i see you plant are growing quite" dwarfy... that means growing with sort Internodial Distance. That means to me your Light is to strong// to close on them. I woulöd give them moreDistance to the Light, so they can grow bigger Internodes.... More Space for HuuugeFlowers Seen it from this side it have not been bad you switched to 12/12...... But I would go back to 16 or 18... and more distance....keep on growing

Hey Growmie, No don't switch it back, I've had to do this a couple of times with a few autoflower, you made the right move, within the next week or two they will start flowering. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

Hey there SuperNova, it's not a bad move in the sense it's a more normal amount of light for a plant meaning it does end up growing more at night, and there's something to be said for the terpenes (taste) and THC production during night hours, so the plant does get less light stress and make tastier and stronger buds. But Sometimes auto just take six weeks instead of 4 for vegetation, and that's also not a bad thing ... more veg, bigger plants. it's a genetic issue as you were aware, so dont be surprised if they take a while yet to flip . Hope this helps ! 🚀

I wouldn't have, some switch at 6-8 weeks especially if they are a "heavy yielder/xl" version. I would wait up to 8 weeks before switching to 12/12.👍🌱
