You don’t. They are autos- meaning the automatically begin to flower, without any changes to their light cycle 🌱

We keep our light 18/6 for the entire grow with Autoflowers. They do not flower based upon the lighting period. Infact you can run your lights 24hrs if you wish. 🤘😤

you can let the light schedule 18/6 during the flowering stage as well...anyway you can notice the growing of the pistils and, it could happens during the 3rd or 4th week...
don't panic, you will notice when it happens...and you will se your plants grow twice their size

Best Light Schedule for Autoflowers?I'm wondering what light schedules my fellow growers like to use with their Autoflowers? I'm debating weather the additional cost of a 20/4 is worth it in terms of growth and increased Bud Quality/Size over a 18/6 schedule. I would love to hear your experiences.Setup. Lighting

Lifespan of led grow lights?Lifespan of LED quantum boards?
Hi
I'm looking for anyone who has first hand experience with the lifespan of the led grow lights. I'm not looking for the manufacturer guidelines. Just anyone who has noticed any difference in performance from the LEDs over time..

Slight leaf tip "burn"What do you think is causing this burn on my leaves? It seems to be quite common. and maybe nothing to worry about if it's this minute. but I would prefer to not burn my plants at all if possible. Could it be a sign of underwatering?

Can a 1000w LED grow light be closer than 60cm (24") to a seedling?Different sources are saying: 1000w LED light should not be closer to a seedling than 60-75cm (24"-30"). The seedling should be getting 5000-7000 lux, 100-300 PAR (PPFD 18h) and 12-20 DLI.
Question: Can I put the light closer at ~40cm, dimmed to match the needed lux, par and dliSetup. Lighting
