Increasing light on duration for Autoflower during mid flowering
myrceneCB1started grow question 4 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.

Small EOL bananas, longer riping worth it?I've got some small bananas on my Euphoria from RQS (in my diary). I was close to harvest (probably in a few days). Do you think I can wait few more days for the trichomes to get more ripe without having to worry about pollination and microseeds? Just asking out of curiosity :)

Soil problemsSo I have switched my grow medium to soil and perlite from Bat-special. I give my plants 2L of water every 4 days but the soil never holds the water as all of it comes out the bottom. is this normal? there is so much runoff. 2L of water shouldn't be pouring out a 25L pot.

About NutrientsHello, there are two issues I'm curious about. First of all, does A.N Revive benefit the plant during the transplant process? 👽
My other question is, do you prefer Carboload or Budcandy? Is there any extra benefit to using both together? 🙌Week 2

How much time could it be until the plant is ripe?Looking at the image of the trichomes (and ignoring the little black lint xD) can someone give me maybe a rough estimate on how long they could still take? Could it be a week, could it be 3 weeks?
I feel a bit unsure because I already see some amber ones too.
