Increasing light on duration for Autoflower during mid flowering
myrceneCB1started grow question 3 years ago
My current light cycle is 18/6. I'm on week 3 of flowering now. Is it possible to increase the light on duration to 20 hours or 24 hours now? Would it stress the plants?

Auto flowering plants are not wonder plants that can work 24/7!! they're just normal plants with a different trait!
I'd say leave it at 18/6 since you're already giving them 6 more hours of light than the usual photoperiod plants and you don't want to cause radiation stress to your girls!
If you want to try *with caution* increase the schedule to 20/4, I've heard of some people who grew in that schedule with conflicting opinions and experiences.
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

Personally I've kept mine at 18/6 but theoretically there should be 0 issues with upping their light schedule if they seem happy and healthy. 🤘😤

They may need readjusting to the new schedule, before ur in flowering its a better time to do this, i recomend you dont do it, just let them finish in 18/6.
Stay lit growmie.

Should I harvest in 2-3 weeks ?Hey, do you think my plants might be ready in two weeks ? They're autos in 7th week of their life. I know that 9 weeks is ok for most, but these should take approx. 11 weeks. Do you think one more week of feeding, then flush would be appropriate ? Trichomes are mostly milky white

Is it time to harvestHello, my girl is 7 weeks old and it's the first time I had a look at the tricomes and to my surprise the tricomes look milky already. Is it time to harvest or should I wait. I actually thought she would still need another couple of weeks, but suddenly I'm not so sure ...
