You can experiment if you really want. I've heard of people doing 24/8 schedules and 20/6... I went with 18/6 and that worked out very well.
I think the most important thing is to keep a schedule. Don't give them 24/0 and randomly decide to shut the lights off for 8 hours.
I've heard of people starting at 20 hours and doing something like giving them 10 minutes of extra darkness every day until the plants finish or you hit 12/12.
Point is: find out what works best for you and don't be afraid to experiment.

What Chevron wrote.. You can eaasily give them 24 hours of light, with darkness afterwards.. Or 36 hours, or however much you want.. Just do it consistently.
Don't be afraid to try new things, but stick to a schedule when experimenting. Correlation is hard to figure out, if you're sporadic and change things on the fly.

If u don’t wont to make some experiment or strange stuff, i like give 18/6 for save on bill and give the plant some rest and the right ammount of light, don’t worry if u have started with 24/0 , change on 18/6 and it will be fine, maybe you can slowly go to a 12/12 cycle for the end of the flowering to save on bill but this i don’t know if it will riduce your yeald, hope to be useful and comprensive ✌️🏽

If this was yours, how would you proceed?Going into week 6. I just clipped the bad leaves that show in the picture and will be switching to the growing stage. I plan to do the 36 hours of darkness first. Already changed the water and it has the bloom solution instead of the grow solution. What would you do now?5 years ago

Should I continue with defoliation ?Hey guys,
I wanted to get your opinion on further defoliation. I don't have much experience in growing, especially in defoliation, lst and other techniques. Should I continue with a light defoliation only to uncover the bud spots. All opinions are welcome. Thanks!Week 6

When to start flushing?How do you guys think, how long these plants might need to finish? Reason I'm asking is that I'm planning at least 10 day flush before harvest and because I lack of experience in growing (there were maybe 2 grows I went through) I don't really know when to start. Any ideas? :)Week 8

POLLINATE NOW for mature seeds? Auto Plants in Week 6My Auto plants at week 6 have formed pistils.
I don't feel like they are quite mature enough to pollinate yet.
I am basically at the halfway point of this grow. I don't want to miss the window to have fully mature seeds.
Any pollination methods/advice?
