18-6 or 24H Of light
Growerxm00started grow question 4 years ago
Hello growers, I’m growing an auto and I have it under 18-6 h and she already started to flower, my question is if I can change it to 24 h of light and if there’s any benefits with that, cause I already read that night time will help them recover a bit from stress and I use scrog

This is a highly debated topic. Many growers have no issues running their plants under 24 hr lights. The more light for an autoflower the better. But from personal experience this can mean more effort in care on the plant to keep it growing optimal. I prefer to keep mine 18/6 as with any living thing it needs a rest period. I've grown some lovely autoflower like this and it will continue to be my recommended light schedule. 🤘😤

Best to give it time to rest. For the punishment it puts on lights and other equipment the gain is not worth it. I been using 20 on 4 off. So there is a cool down and rest time for plant and equipment. Hope that helps and happy growing mate. 🌲🌲🌲

Is my autoflowering plant a hermaphrodite?Hi guys, first time grower here and I'm a bit concerned about one of my two plants. One has entered preflower 2 days short of week 4, but my second plant hasn't shown any signs yet. Noticed these pods near the main stem, is this the sign of a hermaphrodite?

Entering week 9 of flower today and looking for advice on how to proceed. Harvest a week early or should I continue let them rippen?Numerous problems all culminated in late flower. I'm mostly blaming my over-use of UV, but they would have been fine had they been completely healthy when I started that.
As the fade is now beginning to progress to the rich sugar leaves, I'm considering cutting to save them.

Estimating wet bud weight from dry bud weightThe harvest report for the diary asks for wet bud weight, which I didn't measure. (I think it'd be hard to provide that number if you didn't wet trim, right?) So, what's a good conversion: using dry trim weight to estimate wet trim weight?
