Hey there HiddenMessage. The main idea is that there is no where on earth with lights on 20/4 and where weed grows, so light can actually cause a lot of stress, something like "light stress", often time when you reduce the light cycle you'll see more growth because the plant does grow more during the night , put simply : plants need rest too. THC and terpenes actually get degraded by light, that's why i reduce the light cycle during flower even for autos. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Ok here's an answer that's a bit more in depth based upon my experience.
Bottom line is it comes down to the strain. Some with solid genetics like Mephisto, can take 20/4, and I've even seen growers do them at 24.
I'm growing out a few from a not well known breeder of autos. And their auto actions were weak. They started but they weren't spitting like they should have been. Switched to 12/12, kept the nutes the same, and bam! Spitting flowers.
I think it comes down to the ruderallis part of the strain. If its bred out too thin, it might not have the kick it needs to be an "all in" auto. Genetics does matter.

Hey Growmie,
Changing the light cycle would just make the plant start flowering. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

Any ideas what happened hereHey any idea what happened here? I thought it was too much light but the stem is brown like it's dieing. It's the only spot on the plant and the only stalks that are taller than the rest.

AutoFem seed- Would getting more light cause this much stress? Did she Hermie or re-Veg? Growing extra branches? Nanners or leaves? WTF?!I’m confused.This is an AutoFem from a reputable source.I removed a different big plant from the tent and for the past week she’s been getting more light.She should be Pre-flowering and showing pistils at the nodes but instead it almost looks like leaves. Did she hermie? Re-Veg?�
